Climate change, water resources, and the politics of adaptation in the Middle East and North Africa
(Climatic Change, 2011-02-01)Through an examination of global climate change models combined with hydrological data on deteriorating water quality in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), we elucidate the ways in which the MENA countries are vulnerable ... -
Environmental Impacts of the Coal Ash Spill in Kingston, Tennessee: An 18-Month Survey
(2010)An 18 month investigation of the environmental impacts of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) coal ash spill in Kingston, Tennessee combined with leaching experiments on the spilled TVA coal ash have revealed that leachable ... -
Evaluating salinity sources of groundwater and implications for sustainable reverse osmosis desalination in coastal North Carolina, USA
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2011-08-01)The natural and pumping-induced controls on groundwater salinization in the coastal aquifers of North Carolina, USA, and the implications for the performance of a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant have been investigated. ... -
Origin of Hexavalent Chromium in Drinking Water Wells from the Piedmont Aquifers of North Carolina
(Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 2016-12-13)Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a known pulmonary carcinogen. Recent detection of Cr(VI) in drinking water wells in North Carolina has raised public concern about contamination of drinking water wells by nearby coal ash ... -
Relationships between radium and radon occurrence and hydrochemistry in fresh groundwater from fractured crystalline rocks, North Carolina (USA)
(Chemical Geology, 2009-03-30)Naturally-occurring radionuclides (uranium, radium, and radon), major dissolved constituents, and trace elements were investigated in fresh groundwater in 117 wells in fractured crystalline rocks from the Piedmont region ... -

The Global Biogeochemical Cycle of Arsenic
(Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2022-11-01)Direct exploitation and use of arsenic resources has diminished in recent years, but inadvertent mobilizations of As from mineral extractions (metal ores, coal, and phosphate rock) are now as much as ten-fold greater ... -
Water quality implications of the neutralization of acid mine drainage with coal fly ash from India and the United States
(Fuel, 2022-12-15)Subsurface coal mining often induces the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) in active and abandoned coal mines while coal combustion generates coal combustion residuals (CCR), including fly ash (FA), with elevated levels ...
