A Review Of Offshore Wind Technology And The Development Of The Virginia Coastline And Outer Continental Shelf, Ryan D. Geary
A Review Of Offshore Wind Technology And The Development Of The Virginia Coastline And Outer Continental Shelf, Ryan D. Geary
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
Offshore wind power is an increasingly viable resource that is being considered by many coastal States in the U.S for development. This thesis provides a recommendation concerning the foundations that will be needed for the construction of offshore wind farms off the coast of Virginia. To accomplish this I reviewed current and prototype underwater foundation technologies in order to establish viable options for developers to use. I was also able to analyze a case study that conducted “an analysis and survey of the experiences and lessons learned by developers of offshore wind farms” in Europe. This case study focuses mainly …

A Simulation Model For Triclosan Concentrations In The North And Middle Rivers, Virginia, Preeyaporn Songkiatisak
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
Incidences of fish kills and intersex phenomena have occurred extensively in the Shenandoah River since 2004. Pharmaceuticals including triclosan have been detected at low concentrations in the Shenandoah River. Scientists hypothesize that triclosan, an antibacterial agent, may be one of the pharmaceuticals that is responsible for fish kills and intersex phenomena. Methyl triclosan (MTS) were found in fish tissues at a significantly higher concentration in the part of the Shenandoah River where fish kills are present compared to a non-impact river. Triclosan is widely used in personal care products, such as soaps, shampoos, and toothpastes and is rinsed down the …
