Brandenberger, Jill; Louchouarn, Patrick (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2002)During the last several decades, human-related activities and populations have increased markedly along the Texas Gulf Coast, intensifying pressures on the water resources and ecosystems of this area. The Lake Corpus ...

Lu, Ching-Ping (2014-08-06)Swordfish (Xiphias gladius L.) and istiophorid billfish fisheries in all ocean basins are important commercially and recreationally. Proper assessments of these fisheries are hampered by species misidentification, unknown ...
-
Peirce, Kayce (2012-04-12)Natural and anthropogenic combustion processes are major sources of organic carbon into the environment. Biomarkers of biomass combustion can be used to monitor the impact of combustion on carbon cycling at multiple scales, ...
-
Norwood, Matthew J (2017-05-08)Understanding the transformation and transportation of organic carbon is important to elucidate carbon cycling within changing ecosystems. Biomass burning produces a continuum of pyrogenic organic matter (Py-OM) with unique ...
-
Kopp, Kendra N (2015-05-08)Lake Botanisk, a small isolated body of water that was once a part of the moat that surrounded Copenhagen, Denmark, has remained relatively undisturbed for four centuries. Due to this long undisturbed record and restricted ...

Characterization of the Impact of Fire on Terrestrial Organic Carbon and Its Fate in the Environment Myers-Pigg, Allison Nicole (2016-11-11)Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a heterogeneous continuum of compounds resulting from incomplete combustion of organic matter. The understanding of PyC in the environment has mainly focused on high-temperature combustion ...
-
Athon, Matthew Taylor (2016-05-03)Recent nuclear disasters, such as in Fukushima, Japan, have made it evident that there is a need for the capability to efficiently measure radionuclides in-situ in marine and coastal waters. A group at Pacific Northwest ...

Armitage, Anna R.; Highfield, Wesley E.; Brody, Samuel D.; Louchouarn, Patrick (PLOS, 2015-05-06)Landscape-level shifts in plant species distribution and abundance can fundamentally change the ecology of an ecosystem. Such shifts are occurring within mangrove-marsh ecotones, where over the last few decades, relatively ...

Sterne, Amanda ME (2014-09-22)The estimated magnitude of organic carbon (OC) stocks contained in the first meter of US coastal wetland soils represents ~10% of the entire OC stock in US soils (4 vs. 52 Pg, respectively). Because this stock extends to ...
-
Tamalavage, Anne E (2021-08-04)Caribbean hydroclimate is regulated by large scale ocean-atmospheric factors (e.g., the North Atlantic Subtropical High - NASH), and increased aridity is predicted into the 21st century. Understanding past changes in ...
-
Almukaimi, Mohammad E (2013-07-05)Galveston Bay is the second largest estuary in the Gulf of Mexico. The bay’s watershed and shoreline contains one of the largest concentrations of petroleum and chemical industries in the world, with the greatest concentration ...
-
Saxton, Brandon L. (2010-01-16)Little is known about the population structure and genetic variability of blackfin tuna despite catch increases over the past 25 years. In this thesis, levels of genetic variation contained in 323bp of the mitochondrial ...
-
Smith, Richard (2012-10-19)Fjords contain a significant quantity of sediments deposited in coastal zones over the last ~100,000 years. Studies of Northern Hemisphere fjords have shown that a large part of the high concentration of sedimentary organic ...
-
Harvey, Omar R. (2011-08-08)Organic matter is ubiquitous in the environment and exists in many different forms. Reactions involving organic matter are diverse and many have significant economic and environmental implications. In this research, ...
-
Kuo, Li-Jung (2011-02-22)Environmental applications of pyrogenic carbon, aka black carbon (BC), have been hampered due to the poor characterization and quantification of environmental BC. This dissertation was dedicated to the better characterization ...
-
Schloesser, Ryan Walter (2009-05-15)Increased knowledge of stock mixing and migration patterns of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is required to appropriately manage and conserve declining populations. The nursery origin of giant bluefin tuna present ...
-
Li, Xinxin (2013-01-03)The Changjiang River provides the main source of sediment and terrestrial derived organic carbon (OC) to the Changjiang large delta-front estuary (LDE) in the East China Sea (ECS). This study analyzed bulk OC, biomarkers ...
-
Williams, Joshua (2014-11-12)Over the last half-century, the Nakdong and Yeongsan Estuaries of the Republic of Korea (S. Korea) have experienced a wide range of engineered coastal modifications including construction of seawalls, extensive land ...
