Observations of gas flow in porous media using the light transmission technique

Creator:

Parker, Laila Belkov

Abstract:

A novel technique was developed for studying gas phase flow in unsaturated porous media. Carbon dioxide was pumped through a back-lit chamber packed with translucent sand which was variably saturated with water containing the pH indicator dye methyl red. As the carbon dioxide dissolved in the pore water, lowering the...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Laila Belkov Parker for the
Spatial analysis of soil depth variability and pedogenesis along toposequences in the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus

Creator:

Robins, Colin R.

Abstract:

In unstable landscapes, modern pedological research explores the role of soils as products and indicators of geomorphologic change. Understanding the dynamics of hill slope pedogenesis is especially important in regions with limited, poor, or threatened soil resources. The island of Cyprus, situated in the eastern Mediterranean, is claimed by many...

Litter controls of microbial community composition and function in forest soils

Creator:

Brant, Justin B.

Abstract:

Most carbon (C) transformations in soil are carried out by a diverse and complex soil microbial community. The size and composition of the soil microbial community is determined by poorly understood interactions between the quantity and chemical composition of plant inputs, as well as climate. Given the metabolic diversity of...
