Analysis of spillway hydrodynamics for total dissolved gas prediction downstream of hydropower projects with free, plunging spillway jets

Creator:

Germann, Nathan A.

Abstract:

During spring and early summer hydropower projects are often forced to spill water through their spillways due to increased river flows of the runoff season. Flows which are directed through spillways--instead of through turbines--contain a substantial amount of energy. Stemming from the high energy content, spillway flows entrain air at...

Spatial and temporal effects of atmospheric deposition, climate, and land management on forest nutrient cycling and biodiversity

Creator:

McDonnell, Todd C.

Abstract:

Emissions largely associated with the combustion of fossil fuels and agriculture has caused elevated atmospheric deposition of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) throughout much of the developed world. Increased atmospheric deposition of N and S can lead to soil and surface water acidification and affect forest soil nutrient supply. The...

Human Exposure to PAHs in Air, Water, and Crayfish

Creator:

Paulik, L. Blair

Abstract:

There are many links between exposure to environmental pollution and risks to human health. While advances in the fields of toxicology, exposure science, and environmental chemistry have shown light on many of these links, many more research challenges remain. One major challenge is how to accurately characterize the toxicity of...
