Understanding Storm-driven Dynamics of Fluvial Particulate Organic Carbon in an Agricultural Watershed using a High-temporal Resolution Multi-biomarker Approach

Description:: Rivers and streams play a critical role in connecting major global carbon pools – land, oceans, and atmosphere. The longitudinal flow in rivers and streams allows for the integration and transport of fluvial particulate organic carbon (POC) from various sources and its continual transformation. A continuum-oriented perspective suggests longitudinal variations...

Polyelectrolyte Complexes of Random Copolymers and their Applications in Environmental Remediation

Description:: As polymer science has advanced as a field, so too have the uses for polymeric materials. We encounter polymers and plastics on a daily basis, and while their presence has greatly improved our quality of life, they have also had a profound and often negative impact on our environment. Plastic...

An Examination of Drinking Water Treatment Residuals as Metal Sorbents

Description:: Drinking water treatment residuals (DWTRs) are waste materials generated during the clarification process of drinking water treatment. The application of DWTRs as sorbent materials offers an opportunity to reuse and add value to these materials. For instance, as metal sorbents, DWTRs could be used as active capping materials to remediate...

Surface Chemistry of Organic Molecules in Atmospheric and Indoor Environments Investigated by Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy

Description:: This work examines important heterogeneous processes of organic molecules on surfaces, in the contexts of atmospheric and indoor environments. In large forest ecosystems, biogenic secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) constitute a dominant fraction of organic particulate matter in the atmosphere. The formation of SOAs starts from the emission of volatile organic...
