Title: Dissolved Organic Carbon and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon along an Urbanization Gradient in Charlotte, North Carolina
Author: Kiker, Taylor
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Hydrology
Description: Streams and rivers are an integral component of the freshwater carbon cycle as they provide the lateral transport of carbon from terrestrial environments to the ocean. Urbanization is one of the fastest growing land uses and it has major impacts o...

Title: Evaluating the Efficacy of Whole-Watershed Stream Restoration: Implications for Groundwater Storage, Water Quality, and Suspended Solids in a Piedmont Urban Forest Watershed
Author: Petitt, Destini
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Hydrology, Geochemistry, Ecology
Description: The quality and quantity of water in degraded watersheds (i.e.: watersheds undergoing changing land-use, urbanization, agricultural use) may be impaired compared to undisturbed forested watersheds. To enhance the ecosystem function of impaired wat...

Title: Isotope hydrology and sustainability of High Plains groundwater in northeastern New Mexico
Author: Blumenberg, Victoria
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Water resources development--Management, Hydrology
Description: Observable increases in depth to water in wells throughout the High Plains Aquifer have led to growing concerns regarding the sustainability of groundwater in the High Plains region. Previous studies have pointed to overuse and the presence of pal...

Title: NATURALLY-OCCURRING CHROMIUM AND VANADIUM IN CHARLOTTE TERRANE ROCKS: A SOURCE OF TRACE ELEMENTS TO GROUNDWATER?
Author: Vail, Jacey
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Environmental sciences, Geology, Geochemistry
Description: Vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) contamination has become a rising concern in North Carolina due to a coal ash spill in February 2014. Coal ash is known to contain these trace elements, but V and Cr are also naturally occurring. Cr and V above healt...

Title: Relationship between saprolite-hosted groundwater chemistry, baseflow, and weathering depth at Redlair Observatory, a critical zone research site on the North Carolina Piedmont
Author: Horgan, Julianna
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Environmental sciences, Geology, Hydrology
Description: Crystalline bedrock weathering profiles in the southern Piedmont terrane have thicker soils and gentler slopes than mountainous terranes with their thin soils and steep slopes. The objective of this study was to understand watershed-scale baseflow...

Title: Removal of Metals from Highway Stormwater Runoff Using Enhanced Filtration Media Amendments
Author: Bryan-Scaggs, Kaitlynn
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering, Environmental sciences, Water resources development--Management
Description: Stormwater runoff can introduce contaminants including heavy metals, chloride, and phosphorus compounds, which can have negative impacts on receiving waters. Stormwater filtration systems can offer successful and cost-effective reduction of stormw...
