Abstract:

To have better understandings of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2)in northern South China Sea(NSCS), the pCO2readings from 1999-2012 were reviewed. Both the pCO2in NSCS and in the atmosphere also showed an increasing trends and the pCO2in NSCS varied across the seasons. There are many important processes that influenced the pCO2in NSCS, which were the rise of the temperature, biological production, seasonal upwelling, Pearl River discharge, increase in the concentration of atmospheric pCO2and the rate of calcification. These six mechanisms extend different strengths on the resultan

Abstract:

The negative consequences of sprawling metropolitan regions have attracted attention in both academia and in practice regarding how to better design settlements and alter travel behavior in a quest to curtail vehicle emissions. Studies that have attempted to understand the nexus between land use, travel and vehicle emissions have not been able to address the issue of self-selection in a satisfactory manner. Self-selection occurs when households choose their residential location based, in part, on expected travel behavior. This non-random experience makes the use of traditional regression frame

Abstract:

We have successfully investigated the use of CO2 as a miscibility switch to create an environment in which we can run a homogeneously catalyzed reaction while maintaining a heterogeneous separation. We explored the use of this technique with fluorous biphasic systems, a fluorous solid support, and aqueous biphasic systems. In the case of the fluorous systems, CO2 was added to induce solubility of the fluorous catalyst. When the reaction was completed, CO2 was vented and the system returned to a biphasic state, making the separation easy. For the aqueous biphasic systems, the organic phase

Abstract:

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is the greatest potential input of nitrogen into terrestrial ecosystems. As a result, nitrogen fixation is critical to the functioning of the land carbon sink and its capacity to offset anthropogenic CO2 emissions and climate change. However, our understanding of the controls over nitrogen fixation rates and nitrogen fixing tree abundance is limited, resulting in paradoxes such as the relative absence of nitrogen fixing trees at high latitudes (where nitrogen is most limiting and it seems that nitrogen fixation should be most beneficial) and tropical forest nitrogen

Abstract:

Earth’s climate is intricately linked to the carbon cycle through the radiative effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The ocean plays a central role in this climate-carbon system; as oceans store ∼50 times more carbon than the atmosphere, even small changes in ocean chemistry could greatly affect global climate. Understanding how the oceanic carbon reservoir has evolved across changing climates is thus critical for both constraining mechanisms of climate change and predicting impacts from anthropogenic carbon addition. This dissertation contributes to knowledge of the ocean carbon reservoir’s

Abstract:

Predicting how increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration will affect the hydrologic cycle is of utmost importance for water resource management, ecological systems and for human life and activities. A typical perspective is that the water cycle will mostly be altered by atmospheric effects of climate change, precipitation and radiation, and that the land surface will adjust accordingly. Terrestrial processes can however feedback significantly on the hydrologic changes themselves. Vegetation is indeed at the center of the carbon, water and energy nexus. This work investigates t

Abstract:

The venting of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere at increasing rates is probably influencing global warming and climate change. The Tangguh LNG development project in Papua, Indonesia will produce significant volumes of CO₂, which might be vented into the atmosphere. The LNG process will necessitate the separation of CO₂, estimated at 2.4 trillion cubic feet (TCF sc), from the natural gas reserves prior to liquefaction and shipping. This study screens and assesses the possible alternatives to atmospheric venting, and recommends subsurface CO₂ injection and sequestration/storage i
