“Micro-siting and Nitrogen Removal Efficiency of a Liquid Injection
Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB)”

PhD Candidate

Abstract
As development of coastal areas increase, nutrient loads to groundwater and particularly nitrogen (NO3-, NO2-, and NH4) have also increased significantly. In addition to the known health impacts that nitrogen (as nitrate) can have on people through drinking water, nitrogen enrichment of coastal waters results in system-wide decline in water and habitat quality. At present, the estuaries of S.E. Massachusetts are experiencing negative impacts from watershed nitrogen inputs resulting in eutrophication and declines in aquatic resources. As a result of wide-spread estuarine nitrogen enrichment, a variety of techniques are being explored by towns throughout S.E. Massachusetts to mitigate watershed nitrogen inputs to their estuaries. One of the technologies seeing increasing interest due to its moderate cost, ease of installation, and low impact to the environment is N removal by liquid injection PRBs. The present research investigates the utility of using liquid injection PRBs for restoration of nitrogen impaired estuarine water quality.
Our results show that for PRB technology to be effective it must be specifically installed to meet local site conditions. In conjunction with Adam Turner (Martha’s Vineyard Commission), micro-siting techniques were implemented in the installation and design of a pilot PRB adjacent to nitrogen impaired Lagoon Pond on Martha’s Vineyard to maximize reduction of nitrogen per unit cost. After PRB installation the amount of nitrogen reduction achieved in groundwater from residential areas was quantified. To better understand the biogeochemistry associated with PRBs and to optimize future installations, we also measure the extent to which the liquid injectate forming the PRB (emulsified vegetable oil or EVO), travels with groundwater and spreads from point of injection. Additionally, secondary reactions that occur under reducing conditions created by the PRB were monitored to evaluate their impact to groundwater and receiving water bodies. These correlative processes will inform future PRB siting near aquatic systems.

“The third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP-3): Project Motivation and Initial Analyses”
Dr. Anthony Kirincich
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

2:30 pm – 3:30 pm

and via Zoom
Abstract:
The third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP-3), sponsored by the Department of Energy, will focus on offshore wind regimes along the U.S. East Coast. WFIP-3 seeks to improve the physical understanding of mesoscale and smaller meteorological and oceanographic processes that directly affect wind resource characterization in the offshore environment.
A key challenge to improving wind resource prediction is to improve understanding of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers and their interactions through the wave-mediated surface. Towards this project goal, a team composed of research institutions and national laboratories of the Department of Energy and NOAA will deploy and operate a 3-D multiscale sensor array within the Northeast U.S. outer continental shelf to characterize vertical and horizontal structure of the marine boundary layer in and around active and planned offshore wind energy lease areas. Data collected during the experiment will be used to develop and validate foundational numerical weather forecasting models and other physics-based atmospheric and oceanographic models to improve wind energy forecasts. With field work planned for 2024-2025, our detailed planning and initial analysis results will be presented here.

Facilitators:
Allison Cywin, Art Education, Art History, and Media Studies Librarian
Emma Wood, Scholarly Communication Librarian
There are no guarantees when making Copyright & Fair Use decisions about your course materials and how you distribute them. Online learning has made these considerations even more of a challenge for many. In this session, two librarians will discuss the basic tenets of Fair Use as they apply to print materials as well as images and multimedia. Participants will discuss strategies for keeping within the parameters of Fair Use. This session will include discussions of real scenarios where the Fair Use factors must be weighed. Participants will be provided with links and resources to help them make Copyright and Fair Use decisions in class.
