Creator:: Rosen, Julia L.
Abstract:: The three studies that comprise this dissertation seek to answer significant questions in paleoclimatology through unconventional applications of ice core greenhouse gas data. These studies involve different gases and span the interval of time between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Industrial Revolution, but are united by their nontraditional use...

Creator:: Giguere, Andrew T.
Abstract:: Nitrification is a critical step in the global nitrogen cycle involving the biological oxidation of ammonia (NH₃) to nitrite (NO₂⁻ ) and then to nitrate (NO₃⁻). The first step in nitrification is carried out by NH₃-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA), and the second by NO₂⁻-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). In addition...

Full Text:: - and NO3 - being products of nitrification, nitrous oxide (N2O) can also be a by-product of NH3

Creator:: Novita, Nisa
Abstract:: This dissertation addresses gaps of knowledge associated with how ecosystem carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions are affected by land use land cover change in tropical peatlands. This was the first study that paired peat swamp forests with oil palm plantations and analyzed site scale variation on greenhouse gas emissions....
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) emissions in the immature oil palm

Creator:: Coker, Eric S.
Abstract:: Exposure to urban outdoor air pollution is ubiquitous and low birth weight represents an important health disparity in the United States. While previous research suggests that exposure to outdoor air pollutants are associated with term low birth weight, few studies have evaluated the effects of multipollutant outdoor air exposures or...
