Assessment of the effects of soil amendments on the leaching of lead and arsenic from contaminated soil

Wang, Yu (2006-12-15)

Lead has a long history in the life of human beings. Unfortunately, only recently did people start to realize that lead is a toxin. Because of increasing human activity, soil lead pollution has become a serious environmental ...

Dynamics of Saltwater Intrusion Processes in Saturated Porous Media Systems

Chang, Sun Woo (2012-08-14)

The overarching goal of this dissertation is to contribute towards a better understanding of the dynamics of saltwater intrusion and the associated transport processes in coastal groundwater systems. As a part of this ...

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Variable-density Flow and Transport Scenarios

Goswami, Rohit Raj (2008-12-15)

Saltwater contamination has received a lot of attention in the past few years with natural disasters such as tsunamis and hurricanes causing widespread groundwater pollution. Groundwater modeling of saline contaminant ...

A Fine Line Between Dispersion and Retention: Oil-Sediment Interactions in Nearshore Marine Environments

Gustitus, Sarah Anne (2017-04-12)

When crude oil that is spilled in a marine environment approaches the shoreline, it can interact with suspended sediment to form either microscopic oil-mineral aggregates (OMAs), or macroscopic surface residual balls (SRBs) ...

Process Control Factors for Continuous Microbial Perchlorate Reduction in the Presence of Zero-Valent Iron

Arthur, Daniel (2011-05-11)

Water is a staple of civilization, and in the event of drinking water contamination the use of the contaminant’s source should be discontinued. Alternatively, a technology that can remove the contaminant from the water ...

Sorption of Thorium Onto Subsurface Geomedia

Melson, Nathan Hunter (2011-11-17)

Radionuclide contamination has been a significant environmental problem at US Department of Energy (USDOE) sites for many years. In addition, a final disposal solution for radioactive waste, such as deep geological ...

Toward Improved Understanding of Aquifer Response Time Scales

Jazaei, Farhad (2017-07-25)

Several methods are available in the published literature to analyze transient groundwater flow processes. These methods include both numerical and analytical approaches which describe how groundwater heads would transition ...

Understanding the evolution of nearshore Deepwater Horizon oil spill residues and characterizing them using GC/MS/MS methods

John, Gerald Francis (2016-01-07)

On April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon, a semi-submersible oil rig exploring for oil in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), exploded. The resulting accident released about 4.8 million barrels of oil into the waters of GOM ...
