The conditions beneath glaciers and ice-sheets including the topography, hydrology, and geology are essential for understanding ice dynamics, interpreting ice-sheet history, and predicting ice-sheet retreat and sea-level-rise in response to a changing climate. Located in remote …
This dissertation helps develop principles that integrate aspects of policy analysis into sustainability science. The three principal chapters are 2, 3, and 4. Through an application to multiple sources of drinking water in the presence of other ecological services, Chapter 2 il…
Since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, lakes in Maine and much of the Northeastern US have seen significant shifts in response to reduced atmospheric deposition as well as climate change. The organisms that inhabit lakes are susceptible to environmental change, but our unde…
Large-scale climate modes are responsible for much of the Earth's climate variability. Despite the importance of these modes, we have limited understanding of how they vary on long timescales due to the short length of instrumental climate records. Fortunately, climate informati…
Sequence stratigraphic interpretations of subsurface data and stratigraphic modeling using SEDPAK program have generated insight into specific stratigraphic patterns of lacustrine rift basins, the southern Dead Sea and the Pannonian Basin in Hungary. In the Dead Sea, nine third-…
A limnological survey of 44 lakes in the Northern Niagara Escarpment region (south-western Ontario, Canada) highlighted differences between polymictic and dimictic hardwater lakes. Polymictic lakes were shallower, had higher water temperatures and dissolved organic carbon levels…
