• Effects of Nanoscale Zero-valent iron (nZVI) on Bacterial Viability: Roles of Growth Phases and Oxidative Stress 

  Krittanut, Chaithawiwat (North Dakota State University, 2011)

  The effect of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles on bacteria from different growth phases was studied. Four bacterial strains including Escherichia coli strains JMI09 and BW25 l l 3, and Pseudomonas putida strains ...

• Using Seed Source Diversity and Species Distribution Modeling for Evaluating Grassland Restoration Success and Suitability 

  Lindstrom, Jess (North Dakota State University, 2022)

  Seed sourcing for restoration often uses local populations presumed adapted to local environments. This may not be effective under changing climates. Thus, different seed sourcing strategies need testing including multi-source ...

• Late Pleistocene Mountain Glacier Equilibrium Line Altitudes and Paleoclimate Reconstruction in the Great Basin 

  Walter, Larkin (North Dakota State University, 2022)

  This thesis presents new reconstructions of paleoglacier surfaces and Equilibrium Line Altitudes in nine mountain ranges in the northeastern Great Basin during the Last Glacial Maximum. Improved methods for paleoglacier ...
