Doctoral Thesis Defense

Elizabeth Homa: "Mass Balance Modeling of Calcite in the Epilimnion of an Ultraoligotrophic Lake"

Abstract:
Seasonal calcite precipitation was observed and analyzed in a calcareous, ultra-oligotrophic lake, Torch Lake, Michigan (USA). A mass-balance model of the lake’s epilimnion was developed to synthesize the observations and investigate the interactions of the various processes that generate calcite and greatly reduce clarity during summer stratification.
