Decay of waste within landfills is a contributing source to the greenhouse effect due to the production of methane. Larger landfills tend to have gas collection systems, which collect and convert gas into energy or flare it. Older and...
The input of potential vorticity (PV) over the Oceans is estimated from observations to produce a climatological map of PV flux and to study the interannual forcing variability. Particular attention is paid to the North Atlantic...
Extraction and processing of uranium ore during the Cold-War era have left many sites around the world contaminated with uranium. Leaching of uranium into the groundwater is of major concern because oxidized uranium, U(VI), is toxic, ...
Numerical models for variable-density flow and solute transport (VDFST) are widely used to simulate seawater intrusion and related problems, including submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). The mathematical model for VDFST is a coupled...
Methane is one of two primary gases produced from the decomposition of landfill waste. Studies have been directed to collection and mitigation of methane gas. In small landfills, collection is not an economically feasible solution. Bio...
In the Gulf of Mexico, barrier islands absorb the majority of the wind and wave action from storms, resulting in modification of dune morphology and vegetation dynamics. Understanding changes in dune vegetation in response to storms can...
Methane emissions from solid waste landfills are a significant portion of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Present means of dealing with landfill gas emissions are too costly for many old and small landfills where gas...
Abstract Photographic transects were taken in 2009 and 2010 on the VK826, VK906 and GB535 lease blocks to quantify the amount of the seafloor covered by living or dead colonies of the deep-sea coral L. pertusa, as well as species...
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has proposed a method that will be used to quantify fugitive emissions from large area sources such as landfills. The method is presented in the USEPA's Other Test Method-10 (OTM...
This dissertation examines the role of microorganisms in marine biogeochemical cycles with a particular emphasis on sedimentary nitrogen transformations. Nitrogen is required by all living organisms and is a key nutrient controlling the...
The wind speed and wind stress over the Southern Ocean (SO) is compared from the QSCAT, COAPS, ERA-Int, JRA25 and NCEP2. From the results of comparison, NCEP2 seems to poorly represent wind speed in the SO. In the summer months, the...
The ocean is coupled to the atmosphere via heat and freshwater fluxes. Ocean processes that play a role in the flux of heat in the ocean and atmosphere are of primary concern in this age of global climate change. These fluxes can act to...
Mode water formation has long been treated as a buoyancy flux problem; however this approach fails to explain all of the variability of mode water. A number of different approaches have been demonstrated to explain more of this...
The Variability of Certain Life-History Parameters of Early Juvenile Gag Grouper (Mycteroperca Microlepis, Pisces: Serranidae) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Gag grouper, Mycteroperca microlepis, compose an important recreational and commercial fishery along the Gulf coast and Eastern Seaboard of the United States (Coleman et al. 2000, Morris et al. 2000, and Musick et al. 2000). Like many...
