Fathel, Siobhan L. (2013-07-17)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesDesert vegetation in the Southwestern United States influences sediment transport. Specifically, rainsplash processes create mounds beneath shrubs which regulate the sediment flux on hillslopes. In turn, complex plant ...

Roseberry, John Coley (2009-04-22)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesThis study examines how coupled geomorphic and biologic processes influence the potential for hillslope soils to store organic carbon. A mass-balance model of soil organic carbon on hillslopes is developed by combining ...

Teets, William Kenneth (2012-04-04)Department: PhysicsWe have observed two erupting, pre-main sequence stars, V1647 Ori and EX Lupi, with the Chandra X-ray Observatory during their 2008 optical eruptions. Our intensive X-ray monitoring of these objects affords the opportunity ...

Doane, Tyler Hill (2014-07-26)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesMathematical descriptions of sediment transport are essential for our understanding of the evolution and form of Earth's surface. Recent work has highlighted the potential strengths of a nonlocal mathematical description ...

Howell Taylor, Susan Meredith (2013-03-19)Department: Environmental EngineeringThe long term stability of tidal marshes is related to interactions among the surface slope of the marsh platform, sedimentation, primary productivity, and the relative rate of sea-level rise. Here I simulate the physical ...

Mei, Yi (2013-06-28)Department: Environmental EngineeringRiparian top soil layer, rich in organic carbon, act as a source provider of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to its adjacent stream, but the hydrological factors that control the dynamics of DOC from terrestrial sources to ...

Banik, Tenley Jill (2008-05-14)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesIn the Siða-Fljotshverfi District of south Iceland, Pleistocene basaltic lava forms flame-like apophyses, dikes, and disaggregation structures that invade overlying hyaloclastite. Apophyses as well as underlying lavas are ...

Martinez, Manuel (2015-07-21)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesCurrently, Greenland ice sheet mass loss is increasing at a rate near 1000 Gt yr-1, making the ice sheets top contributors to current sea level rise. Errors in constraining the mass balance of the Antarctic and Greenland ...

Ullah, Mohammad Shahid (2010-12-04)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesThe Ganges and Brahmaputra River, which drain the crystalline rocks of the High Himalayas, Lesser Himalayas and Tibetan Sedimentary Series, have transported the major portion of late Quaternary sediments to the Ganges - ...
