    Creator:
    Jarvis, William Todd
    Abstract:
    With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...

  • Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

    Creator:
    Harper, Kristine C.
    Abstract:
    American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

  • Enhanced production of Pacific dulse (Palmaria mollis) for co-culture with abalone in a land-based system

    Creator:
    Demetropoulos, Carl Lee
    Abstract:
    Palmaria mollis (Pacific dulse) is increasingly being used in land-based marine aquaculture. This work elucidates nutrient, inorganic carbon, light, salinity, and temperature requirements of P. mollis as food for abalone species. Nutrient additions every 5 to 7 days resulted in no significant difference in P. mollis growth compared with daily...

  • Shear repair methods for conventionally reinforced concrete girders and deep beams

    Creator:
    Howell, Daniel A.
    Abstract:
    Many conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges (RCDG) and their intermediate supporting bent caps were designed during the Eisenhower interstate era of the 1950’s with the AASHO design equations at the time, which subsequently place higher demand on the concrete. The referenced components may exhibit diagonal cracking due to the...
