Geochemical Studies Of Backfill Aggregates, Lake Sediment Cores And The Hueco Bolson Aquifer, Anita Thapalia

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

This Dissertation comprises of three different researches that focuses on the application of geochemistry from aggregates, lake sediment cores and Hueco Bolson Aquifer. Each study is independent and presented in the publication format. The first chapter is already published and the second chapter is in revision phase. Overall, three studies measure the large scale (field) as well as bench scale (lab) water-rock interactions influenced by the climatic and anthropogenic factors spans from the field of environmental geology to civil engineering.

The first chapter of this Dissertation addresses the chemical evaluation of coarse aggregates from six different quarries in Texas. The …
