Associate Professor, Hydrologic Science and Engineering, Colorado School of Mines Title: “The Fluid Mechanics of Chemical Reactions” Abstract: The classical rate equations for chemical reactions assume perfect mixing in some volume.  In most real systems (atmosphere, ocean, aquifer), poor mixing is the rule. Chemical constituents must be brought into contact by the combined effects of

Biogeochemistry, Associate Professor, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, University of Georgia Title: “Radiocarbon and molecular signatures of ancient permafrost-derived dissolved organic carbon biodegradation” Abstract Vast quantities of ancient organic carbon (OC) are stored in Arctic permafrost soils. Arctic warming is thawing these frozen soils, releasing OC from its millennial deepfreeze into Arctic rivers as dissolved OC
