Abstract: In the study of solute transport through laboratory columns packed with natural porous media, tracers are commonly applied as a step input or as a square-wave pulse of several pore volumes duration. However, tracer ...

Abstract: The effects of solution chemistry, surface shear, and composition of natural organic matter (NOM) were investigated for their impact on accumulation of foulant material at the surface of charged polymeric nanofiltration ...

Abstract: Studies were conducted to examine the effect of solution chemistry, defined here as pH and ionic strength, on the permeability of negatively charged polymeric nanofiltration membranes. Water permeation through the membrane ...

Abstract: Spatial interpolation methods are frequently used to estimate values of physical or chemical constituents in locations where they are not measured. Very little research has been conducted, however, to investigate the ...

Abstract: The complex shapes of estuaries need to be considered when developing spatial interpolation methods for water quality analyses. In this study, a statistical interpolation method (kriging) is used to interpolate water quality ...

Abstract: A prototype system for a Chesapeake Bay Environmental Observatory (CBEO) is under development by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the domains of environmental engineering, marine science, hydrology, ecology, ...
