A cavity ring-down spectroscopy system for high time resolution measurements of gaseous elemental mercury concentrations
Pierce, Ashley M. (2012)The global cycling of mercury (Hg), a highly toxic environmental pollutant, currently has many unknowns. There are various sources of Hg to the atmosphere including both anthropogenic and natural sources. Processes involved ... -

Emissions from vehicles, tailpipe and vehicle re-entrained road dust
Zhu, Dongzi (2010)Emissions from transportation are some of the largest sources of urban air pollution. Transportation emissions originate from both the engine-through combustion processes and non-tailpipe re-suspended road dust emissions ... -

Examining the Impact of Mercury on Waterfowl with Implications for Human Health and Water Management in Arid Environments
Byrne, Morgan (2023)The work described in this thesis provides detailed insight into total mercury concentrations ([tHg]) observed in wood ducks along the lower Carson River watershed in western Nevada. Mercury (Hg) contamination of the Carson ... -

Improvements to the Measurement of Atmospheric Reactive Mercury, and Contributions to the Investigation of Reactive Mercury at Six Sampling Sites
Allen, Natalie Rose (2023)Mercury (Hg) is a globally transported hazardous pollutant. In the atmosphere, reactive mercury (RM), composed of gaseous oxidized and particulate-bound Hg, comprises the minority of Hg fractions, but contributes significantly ... -

Land-atmosphere Exchange and Air Quality during Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer Events
Sun, Xia (2019)Elevated air pollution concentrations have been observed under conditions with stable atmospheric boundary layers. The multiday stagnant meteorological conditions, especially the vertical structure of the atmospheric ... -

Measurement comparisons towards improving the understanding of aerosol-cloud processing
Noble, Stephen R. (2017)Cloud processing of aerosol is an aerosol-cloud interaction that is not heavily researched but could have implications on climate. The three types of cloud processing are chemical processing, collision and coalescence ... -

Study of Aerosol-Cloud Interactions for Shallow Warm Clouds
Gao, Lan (2018)Cumulus clouds are generally optically thick and shallow, exerting a net cooling impact on the climate system. Changes in atmospheric aerosol conditions, especially aerosol concentration increased by anthropogenic activity, ... -
