Determining the Spring Water Provenance in the Warm Springs Valley Subarea of the Silver Creek Watershed in the Harney Hydrologic Basin, Harney County, Oregon
(2018-03)Due to the importance of springs as a water source for marshland habitat, which is vital for Pacific Flyway waterfowl in a portion of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Oregon, this work aims to determine ... -
An isotopic analysis of geothermal brine and calcite scaling from the Blue Mountain geothermal field, Winnemucca, Nevada
(2016-03)Understanding, and controlling, the conditions under which calcite precipitates within geothermal energy production systems is a key step in maintaining production efficiency. In this study, I apply methods of bulk and ... -
Optimizing Arsenic Removal in a Groundwater Treatment Cell
(2020-03)The goal of this research is to investigate geochemical factors on arsenic removal from groundwater in a groundwater treatment cell. The treatment cell is near Metaline Falls, WA, and is operated by Geosyntec Consultants. ... -
Reaction of the Marcellus Shale with hydraulic fracturing fluid: An experimental study
(2017-12)Technological advancements in the oil and gas industry in the past few decades have led the Marcellus Shale to be one of the most productive unconventional reservoirs in the United States. Increased production has resulted ... -
Water chemistry controls on minor elemental concentrations and strontium isotopic compositions of freshwater biogenic carbonate in northeastern Washington streams
(2014-12)Tracking the movement of migratory freshwater fish is essential to those invested in rebuilding declining fish populations. Using strontium isotopic signatures to match calcified fish tissues to streams where fish spawn ...
