Characterization Of Exogeous Particale Content: Of Canine Tissue Urban Vs. Rural Inhalation Exposures
Kennedy, Jamell (Geology, 2014-07-14)Exogenous zinc (Zn) is emerging as a serious contaminant in the environment. Yearly deposition of zinc particles line heavily traveled inner city roadways and less traveled rural roadways. Particle size for zinc ranges ... -
Characterization of the Constituent Mineral Components of North African Surface Dust Samples Utilizing Computer Controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy (CCSEM)
Sabatka, Zakariah Edward; 0000-0003-2233-7248 (2015-12-23)Analysis of the constituent mineral components of surface dusts/soils from Chad-Niger region, North Africa, was undertaken by computer controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) to determine if differences in ... -
Enrichment of Volcanogenic Trace Elements in a Continuous Subsurface Eagle Ford Core in South Texas and the Origin of The Oceanic Anoxic Event II at The Cenomanian-Turonian (C/T) Boundary
Valencia, Daniel (2017-12-13)The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas is a dark grey to black, sporadically laminated, organic rich carbonaceous mud rock located in the subsurface (~13,000), of the hydrocarbon producing shale-oil formation. ... -
GEOCHEMICAL AND PETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HORN RIVER FORMATION: BRITISH COLUMBIA, CA
Sortore, Joseph Anthony; 0000-0001-5014-6401 (2017-05-23)The Devonian Horn River basin of northeastern British Columbia is the largest producing shale gas field in Canada. It has an estimated 500-600 TCF of light hydrocarbons in place stacked in multiple formations in an ... -
Heavy Metal Contamination Of Road Dust In Lanzhou, China
Hiett, Michael (Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-07-25)Road dusts were collected from the streets of the city of Lanzhou, the capital and largest city of Gansu Province in Northwest China. The potential health hazard posed by contaminated road dusts may be considerable for ... -
Observations on the magnetic iron oxide content of particulate matter in the Sahel
Tidd, Kimberly Belle; 0000-0003-4107-6258 (2019-05-06)Atmospheric dust influences many processes throughout the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, most notably the climate, marine productivity, and human health. Recognizing the physicochemical characteristics of dust ... -
Reducing Lead Bioavalability In Soil By Adding Apatite II
Alkandary, Dhary Saad (Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-04-11)This study was an examination of phosphate-induced immobilization of lead (Pb) in soils through addition of apatite II (fish bone material). The sources of Pb minerals in the soils examined in this in situ remediation study ... -
Reducing Pb Bioaccessibility In Soil Through The Addition Of Apatite II
Tondre, Zachary Robert (Environmental & Earth Science, 2014-03-12)This study was an investigation of the bioaccessibility of Pb in the presence of phosphate acting as an immobilizing constituent in the form of fish bone material, specifically Apatite II. Phosphate-induced Pb immobilization ... -
SENSITIVITY OF OXYGEN MINIMUM ZONES DUE TO CARBON DIOXIDE RADIATIVE FORCING USING CESM 1.2
Wolfe, Kristina K.; 0000-0003-0865-2786 (2019-04-25)Anthropogenic-induced climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rapid rate, compared to the geologic past. In this study, CO2 stabilization scenarios (1x, 2x, and 4x preindustrial atmospheric pCO2 levels) utilizing ... -
