Creator:: Weisbrod, Noam, Niemet, Michael R., McGinnis, Thomas, and Selker, John S.
Abstract:: Water vapor transport in the vicinity of imbibing saline solutions was investigated in two-dimensional (2-D) chambers using a light transmission technique. Concentrated NaNO3 solutions (brines) were applied as point sources to the surface of homogenous packs of prewetted silica sand for four different sand grades. The same solutions were applied...

Abstract:: Liquid saturation and gas-liquid interfacial area are important parameters for evaluating the transport and fate of contaminants in unsaturated subsurface environments. Recent findings indicate that interfacial surface area controls the relative degree of transmitted light in laboratory systems containing translucent porous media. Equations are derived to estimate the specific gas-liquid...

Creator:: Weisbrod, Noam, McGinnis, Thomas, Rockhold, Mark L., Niemet, Michael R., and Selker, John S.
Abstract:: Surface tensions of high-salinity solutions are significantly different from those of pure water. Our objective was to develop and test a methodology to determine whether these surface tension effects predictably alter imbibition into dry and moist porous media. Static and dynamic experiments were performed using four grades of quartz sand...

Creator:: Glasheen, Richard Michael
Abstract:: The thesis area consists of 65 square miles located in the southeastern part of Meagher County, Montana. Ranging in age from Precambrian to Quaternary, the strata exposed in the area have a total thickness of about 11,100 feet. Low grade metamorphic rocks, mainly slates, and limestones represent the estimated 2,000...

Creator:: Cuenca, Richard H., Ek, Michael, and Mahrt, Larry
Abstract:: Both the form of functional relationships applied for soil water properties and the natural field-scale variability of such properties can significantly impact simulation of the soil-plant-atmosphere system on a diurnal timescale. Various input parameters for soil water properties including effective saturation, residual water content, anerobiosis point, field capacity, and permanent...
