Ecophysiology of marine ammonia-oxidizing archaea
Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) are one of the most abundant prokaryotes in the ocean and span diverse oceanic provinces. In addition to having a dominant role in marine nitrification, they are implicated as a major source ... -
Effect of Operational Parameters on Microgranular Adsorptive Filtration (μGAF)
Low-pressure membrane filtration has been used as a separation technique in water treatment applications for decades and is effective at removing particulates from water. However, it has limited ability to reject soluble ... -
Identification and Fate of Bioactive Transformation Products of Pharmaceuticals and Industrial Antioxidants
Human society discharges complex chemical mixtures into the aquatic environment that cause various adverse effects to aquatic organisms and humans. Upon discharge, organic chemicals typically form multiple transformation ... -
Influence of Kinetic and Metabolic Selection on 17alpha-ethinylestradiol Biodegradation in Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Systems
(2013-07-25)The potent endocrine-disrupting estrogen hormone, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2), is primarily removed via biodegradation in municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) activated sludge (AS) processes; however, reported ... -
Innovative Use of Earthworms for the Remediation of Soil Contaminated with Crude Oil
Crude oil soil contamination is widespread, and due to the complex chemical nature of crude oil, remediation can be expensive and challenging. Crude oil that remains in soil for long periods of time can become sequestered ... -
Observation, Simulation, and Evaluation of Snow Dynamics in the Transitional Snow Zone
The frequent mid-winter accumulation and ablation cycles of snowpack within the rain-snow transitional zone play an important role for the maritime basins along the western U.S. mountain ranges. Representation of transitional ... -
Remote sensing of mountain snow surface temperatures at high temporal resolution using geostationary satellites
Remote sensing by geostationary satellites, such as by the NOAA GOES-R series with the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), can provide imagery of surface temperatures at high temporal resolutions due to their fixed views of ... -
Understanding and addressing exposure inequality in ambient air pollution
Air pollution is the largest environmental risk factor in the world, causing ~6.5 million deaths per year. However, people don’t breathe the same air. Air pollution exposures and associated health impact are unevenly ...
