Chronostratigraphy of Barva and Po s Volcanoes, Volcanic Central Cordillera, Costa Rica
Creators: name: Guerrier, Anjelica
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: The chronostratigraphy from >50,000 BP to the present was determined for the overlapping tephra deposits from Barva and Poas volcanoes, located 20 km north of San Jose, Costa Rica, using stratigraphic correlations supported by fourteen C14 ages. The 16 km proximity of the cones, the abundance of vegetation that overlays the tephra facies, high rates of weathering and erosion, and presence of cinder cones make unraveling the eruptive history of the two volcanoes problematic. Previous attempts have been made to develop an eruptive history of the tephra deposits between the Barva and Po s volcanoes, but relied on stratigraphic correlations based only on physical characteristics of tephras. Developing an accurate eruptive history is crucial for the assessment of volcanic risk, which could prove imperative to surrounding communities that could be significantly affected by caving roofs, disrupted agriculture and water supply, and respiratory ailments.

Paleoenvironmental and Paleoclimatic Changes in Tropical East Africa Since the LGM: New Record from the Cherangani Hills Kenya.
Creators: name: Opiyo, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: A 3.5 m radiocarbon-dated sediment core was recovered from the Kapkanyar mire, Cherangani Hills, Kenya, to reconstruct the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental variations in Tropical East Africa since the last glacial maxima. Through a multi-proxy approach of pollen, elemental geochemistry, and LOI analysis, different deductions were made based on the relationship of the patterns exhibited by each proxy. Associations of varying pollen type groupings: the arboreal, herbaceous and shrubs were used to infer the prevailing paleoclimates considering the vegetation-climate relationship that has been observed and exploited in pioneering palynological studies. Findings from this study reveal notable climate dynamics of sub-orbital scale global climate signals including the East African monsoon signals, the African Humid period (16Ka-6Ka) and Pleistocene aridity events such as the Younger Dryas (14Ka-12Ka). Although anthropogenic activities are observed to be a principal driver in environmental change, it is evident that they do not entirely oust natural background climatic changes.

Groundwater Inundation and Wastewater Treatment in the Coastal Plain of Georgia
Creators: name: Hodges, Ben
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Sea level rise as a function of climate change is projected to have profound impacts on coastal environments, and groundwater inundation is expected to follow. In this study, Bryan County, Georgia (USA) was evaluated using ground penetrating radar to determine future impacts of groundwater inundation to onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). Also known as septic fields, OWTSs were mapped using handheld GPS units. These locations were then compared to groundwater projections of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0-m heights above the seasonal high-water table. OWTS depths were modeled at 0.45 and 0.9 m, based on similar studies in North Carolina (Manda et al., 2015). These conditions create an environment where OWTSs will be a danger to water resources in the area. Modeling shows OWTS groundwater inundation ranging from 99% in Upper Bryan County to 100% in Lower Bryan County at seasonal high-water tables and 1 m of groundwater rise.
Investigating the Relationship Between Water Flow Path and Contaminant Risk from Georgia Coal Ash Ponds in the Piedmont
Creators: name: Mathis, Claire
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Half of all the coal ash produced in the United States is stored in coal ash ponds. Coal ash contains a variety of toxic contaminants, which can contaminate nearby water resources. Georgia has a total of eight coal power plants, both active and retired, which all have unlined ash ponds without any leachate removal system to prevent groundwater contamination. This research analyzes publicly available water quality data from Coal Ash Pond Groundwater monitoring reports and focuses on Plant Scherer, Plant Wansley, and Plant Yates within the Piedmont Geographic Province. Contaminant concentration patterns and their flow paths suggests that some of the higher levels are coming from surface infiltration of dry coal ash surrounding the pond, as opposed to leaching from the pond itself. This finding raises questions regarding developing practical solutions and best practices that needs to be put in place to prevent groundwater contamination in unlined coal ash ponds.

Finding Identity through 'Place': African Retention in African American Poetry
Creators: name: Clopton, Shelley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: This research explores the geographic concept of place and its relationship to identity in contemporary poetry performances. Identity is the most prominent issue of New World African folklore studies, stemming from problems with race, nationhood, and colonial influences. Moreover, many scholars recognize that there is significantly less discernible African retention in African American folklore compared to other New World African folklore. Thus, this research examines contemporary African American storytelling through observing performances of poetry, a notable representation of folklore, to investigate whether African memory has been mobilized in today?s African American folklore. The qualitative method of nonparticipant observation was used to collect data, which included 25 poetry performances by African American poets and artists. This contemporary form of storytelling was coded, analyzed, and then compared to traditional African storytelling traits. Conclusions from this research indicate parallels between storytelling traits observed in contemporary African American poetry and traits that historically have been demonstrated in African storytelling.

Race, Place, and Politics: Urban Renewal, Redevelopment, and Stories of the Historic Buttermilk Bottom Neighborhood in Atlanta
Creators: name: Williams, John
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis explores connections between racialized politics, redevelopment, memory/historical significance, and the meaning of place. In particular, I focus on Buttermilk Bottom, the neighborhood formerly centered on the present location of the Atlanta Civic Center. Drawing on oral histories collected from former residents, historical newspaper accounts, archival materials, redevelopment plans, I trace the discourses about Buttermilk Bottom from the mid-twentieth century to the present, demonstrating ways in which Buttermilk Bottom was discursively constructed as a place of community for neighborhood residents, as a ?slum? in need of revitalization by city planners and developers, and as prized real estate to be exploited for economic gain. These competing discourses, which were often highly racialized, reveal the complicated annihilation of memory and meaning over time. Ultimately, this research can provide a lens to view, frame?and challenge?contemporary discussions about redevelopment and preservation for intown Atlanta?s valued commercial and residential real estate.
Characterization of a Shallow Urban Aquifer in Atlanta, Georgia
Creators: name: Waguespack, Jude
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: The City of Atlanta is a rapidly growing urban center in the Southeastern U.S. whose increasing population will place considerable strain on the city's water supply in terms of quality and availability. The purpose of this research is to characterize the water quality and provide lithological context of an unconfined aquifer on Georgia State University (GSU) campus as a prospective non-potable water supply to meet Atlanta?s demand for water. Two groundwater monitoring wells were installed at 100 Auburn Avenue and serve as the network by which the surficial aquifer was characterized and water quality assessed. Based on groundwater monitoring, water quality varies due to the occurrence of volatile organic compounds in one well exceeding EPA drinking water standards. In addition, the depth to bedrock varied significantly with topography. As a result, water quality and availability would need to be assessed on a site basis for non-potable use and production needs.
A methodology for black geographies

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: This methodology was created to investigate the relationship between Black spatial imaginaries and Black identities to explore the impact of these imaginaries on place-making in Atlanta, Georgia. I utilize a number of frameworks that center Blackness, humanness, and critical race studies in order to collect qualitative data that privileges space alongside the lived experiences of the participants. In this paper, I make a case for the consideration and development of new methodologies that center Blackness within the context of a Black geographic frameworks and study around cultivating empathy and vulnerability, emplacement, and understanding tensions and negotiations between Blackness and sense of place. The centering of Blackness in this methodology is emphasized in order to dismantle the white spatial gaze and white supremacist practices that often occur within research methodologies where the participants are not white.
Diversifying Environmental Advocacy in Atlanta: A Case Study of  Atlanta's African American-Led Community-Based Groups Working Against Environmental Injustices
Creators: name: Spikes, Tamara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: An assumption that marginalized communities are not interested in the environment is one barrier to diversifying environmental affairs. Barriers like this one have shaped the ways that these communities respond to both enduring and emerging injustices. It is vital to understand how marginalized communities address environmental injustices including both disparate exposure to environmental harm and exclusions from environmental decision-making. This case study investigates five of Atlanta?s African American-led community-based environmental groups that each work on water governance issues in predominantly Black watersheds in Atlanta: the Atlanta Watershed Learning Network, Environmental Community Action, the Proctor Creek Stewardship Council, the South River Watershed Alliance, and the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance. Through their continued efforts, these community-based-groups have worked to diversify mainstream environmentalism while destigmatizing myths associated with African American involvement in the urban environmental landscape.

Controls on Saltwater Intrusion in a Shallow Coastal Aquifer: Wormsloe Historic Site, GA
Creators: name: Williams, Marshall
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: The Wormsloe Historic site is situated on a barrier island located off the Georgia Coast. Four shallow monitoring wells were installed in an east-west transect to monitor the surficial aquifer for saltwater intrusion and to find what factors were most strongly controlling it. Previous studies have found strong indications for saltwater intrusion along the east coast, particularly in areas where the underlying Floridan aquifer has been extensively pumped. Temperature and conductivity data gathered show evidence for the lateral movement of saltwater into the surficial aquifer moving inland from a saline marsh, while tidal, precipitation, and Ground Penetrating Radar data reveal the timing and controls of it. Integration of the multiple lines of evidence indicates risks whereby lateral saltwater intrusion could eventually be conveyed downward under continued sea level rise, with the potential to impact the Upper Floridan aquifer or the regions potable water aquifer in the future.
A 23 Kyrs Record Of Environmental Change From Cherangani Hills, Kenya
Creators: name: Cheruiyot, Vicky
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: The sensitivity of East Africa?s environment to anthropogenic and natural climatic changes is poorly understood. Therefore, there is need to incorporate continuous high-resolution records to provide insights into the timings of climatic signals to reconstruct East Africa?s paleoenvironment. This study presents sediment core data (KAP-01) from Kapkanyar Swamp, Cherangani Hills, based on fungal spores, Loss-On-Ignition (LOI) and microscopic charcoal analyses. The climate during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was generally cold and dry with intermittent presence of moist environmental conditions evidenced by the minimal presence of coprophilous taxa, a well-known taxon used to signify presence herbivores, representing diminished fauna. Presence of charcoal in the LGM reflects probable natural fires suggesting dry environmental conditions. The deglaciation period, on the other hand, was relatively colder and drier compared to any other period in the last ~23 Kyrs with scanty preservation fungal spores. The Holocene period is characterized by increased fungal assemblages, indicative of a moist environment punctuated by drought episodes evidenced by fires and fungal spores such as Tetraploa, Meliola, and Glomus. In the Late Holocene, fires are more frequent and with potential fire breaks suggesting anthropogenic controlled fires. Our results depict anthropogenic imprints in the environment in the Late Holocene period, ~4 Kyrs to the present.
A Disparity Analysis of Health Determinants and Outcomes in 500 Cities in the United States
Creators: name: Boateng, Margaret
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Health disparity is an issue of global concern necessitating diverse studies. This study thus, investigated intra city and inter-city health disparity for the 500 largest cities in the United States using the health determinant and outcome data at census tract level from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Urban Health Index (UHI) approach for small area assessment was used to compute for the UHI and disparity ratios for all 500 cities. Data for socioeconomic status was obtained from 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-year estimate data. Urban sprawl data was collected from National Cancer Institute. Cities were ranked based on their disparity ratios from best to worst. OLS regression analysis was employed to research the driving factors of disparities. This research found that larger cities recorded higher health disparities than smaller cities. Greater disparities were present in cities in higher residential segregation for African Americans and less availability of cars, but in lower residential segregation for Hispanics. Because the regression residuals in the OLS model were not independent, more advanced models such as spatial regression models are necessary to investigate the influential factors.

description: Background: Harm reduction services that employ or are operated by people who use drugs are an effective means of mitigating overdose risks and other drug-related harms. However, stereotypes portraying people who use criminalized drugs as incapable caregivers persist. This is especially true for women who use drugs, and to a greater extent racialized women, who are characterized as having diverged from traditional ideals of womanhood as a result of drug-user stigma and the intersections of gender- and class-based and racist stereotypes. In an effort to identify and understand how women who use drugs practise care through harm reduction, we explored the experiences of women accessing a low-threshold supervised consumption site exclusively for women (transgender and non-binary inclusive) in Vancouver, Canada. Methods: Data were drawn from research conducted from May 2017 to June 2018 exploring women’s experiences accessing the supervised consumption site during an overdose crisis. Data included forty-five semistructured interviews with women recruited from the site, analysed thematically to explore practices of care through harm reduction. Findings: Participants reported engaging in both formal and informal care. Acts of care included interventions that both aligned with and deviated from conventional understandings of care practices, including overdose reversal and education, overdose supervision/care, and assisted injection. Conclusion: The boundary between formal and informal harm reduction care is fluid. Women who use drugs engage in harm reduction across these borders with acts of care that align with or fill the gaps in current harm reduction services in order to meet the needs of drug-using communities, challenging negative stereotypes of women who use drugs. However, these caregiving practices can increase risks to care providers’ physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness. Increased financial, social, and institutional supports, including safer supply, assisted injection, and community resources, are needed to better support women as they continue to engage in harm reduction care.
COMPARING THE HYDROLOGIC PERFORMANCE OF INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOFS IN ATLANTA, GA USA
Creators: name: Stefanoff, Hannah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: High concentrations of impervious surfaces are synonymous with urbanization. A heavy presence of impervious surfaces cause stormwater buildup and excessive runoff. Green roofs are designed to reduce stormwater runoff from roofs and reduce peak outflow. The range of stormwater retention in green roofs is wide, ranging from 40-80%, due to differences in soil depth, vegetation type, and local weather patterns. This study compared two green roofs located in downtown Atlanta, GA, USA, one extensive and one intensive.  The extensive roof was found to reach 20% volumetric water capacity, while the intensive reached 25% for the highest capacity event, over a prolonged wetting period. The volume of outflow was higher in an intensive roof due to higher soil volume (23.27 m3) when compared to an extensive roof (10.25m3). A determination of superior retention amongst soil depths was not made due to variable initial soil moisture, with a regularly irrigated extensive roof kept at 10% volumetric capacity for the duration of the study.

description: One of the major goals of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) was to bridge the gap between science and policy by consulting both policy makers and national scientists and generating evidence of the actual exposure of residents to chemicals and whether that exposure would be suggest a potential health risk. Residents' perspectives on chemical exposure and risk were also investigated. HBM4EU's research was designed to answer specific short-term and long-term policy questions at national and European levels, and for its results to directly support regulatory action on chemicals. A strategy was established to prioritise chemicals for analysis in human matrices, with a total of 18 substances/substance groups chosen to be investigated throughout the five-and a -half-year project. HBM4EU produced new evidence of human exposure levels, developed reference values for exposure, investigated determinants of exposure and derived health-based guidance values for those substances. In addition, HBM4EU promoted the use of human biomonitoring data in chemical risk assessment and developed innovative tools and methods linking chemicals to possible health impacts, such as effect biomarkers. Furthermore, HBM4EU advanced understand of effects from combined exposures and methods to identify emerging chemicals. With the aim of supporting policy implementation, science-to-policy workshops were organised, providing opportunities for joint reflection and dialogue on research results. I, and indicators were developed to assess temporal and spatial patterns in the exposure of European population. A sustainable human biomonitoring monitoring framework, producing comparable quality assured data would allow: the evaluation of time trends; the exploration of spatial trends: the evaluation of the influence of socio-economic conditions on chemical exposure. Therefore, such a framework should be included in the European Chemicals' Strategy for Sustainability and the data would support the Zero Pollution Action Plan. © 2023 The Authors
Clay Mineralogy and Porosity Estimates of the Lower Permian Wolfcamp Shale
Creators: name: Garner, Morgan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Diagenetic controls (pressure, temperature, and time) altered petrophysical properties in black shale petroleum source rocks. Several samples of the lower Permian Wolfcamp Shale, a prominent tight gas oil play from the mid-continent US, were collected from a range of thermal maturity values (0.8-1.07% VRo) to test this hypothesized relation among the formation of diagenetic illite, over-pressuring, and porosity generation. Microporosity was observed between clay aggregates, organic material, and cementing materials. Moldic porosity was seen within POM. Microporosity measured 5.5% for the most thermally mature sample and 7.1% for the least mature sample. Based on preliminary measurements on partially reduced small angle scattering data (SAXS), packets of particles 30 , consistent with fundamental particles were visible. These preliminary results suggest that both micro- and possibly nano-porosity decreased with thermal maturity. Lithification, diagenetic mineral formation/pore fill, as well as organic matter migration,  have been attributed to disaggregating porosity at increased thermal maturities.

Examining The Density And Distribution Of Micro And Macroplastics As A Possible Contributor To Sea Turtle Nesting Sand Habitat Quality
Creators: name: Mollet Saint Benoit, Celine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Since the 1950s, the mass production and use of plastics worldwide has increased exponentially. Their one-time use and durability has made them both accessible and affordable to global human populations. These more immediate benefits have come at a cost to the world?s oceans. Plastics have since impaired, injured, and even killed countless marine species, such as sea turtles, often becoming entangled in or ingesting these plastics. New research has demonstrated the ability of microplastics to affect sea turtles before they hatch by altering the microenvironment within the nest. This research examines how both macro- and microplastics could contribute to the depreciation of the sand quality of a significant loggerhead (Caretta caretta) nesting beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia. The study utilizes historic data to identify existing long-term temporal and spatial trends in nesting activities, alongside census data on surface macroplastics, and microplastics extracted from the sediments of the sea turtle nest.
Abundance and Distribution of Invasive Woody Shrub Mahonia bealei in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area
Creators: name: Greim, Adam
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Woody invasive plants are a pernicious threat to the structure and function of ecosystems worldwide.  However, due to the growing number of invasive species and the variable timeline of invasion, many invasive plants are unrecognized or underreported, leading to long-term ecological damage that is beyond the capability of cost-efficient management programs.  Mahonia bealei is a woody shrub native to China that is invading the forests of the southeastern U.S. and is likely underreported.  This study identified and mapped all occurrences of Mahonia bealei across 40 woodlots throughout DeKalb County, Georgia, and analyzed vital indicators in the habitats that may promote colonization and establishment.  M. bealei was found in 90% of sample sites, frequently in large numbers within the forest interior.  The high abundance of M. bealei combined with success in low-light environments indicates an aggressive and successful long-term invasion of the Southeastern Piedmont.
Comparative Analysis of Water Storage Dynamics and Storage-Discharge Relations among Variably Urbanized Catchments within South River Watershed, DeKalb County, GA

description: The study of watershed storage is critical for understanding watershed hydrologic functions, ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemical processes. However, few studies have quantified how much water lies in the subsurface in urban watersheds. In this study, dynamic storage was estimated, and storage-discharge relations evaluated in Atlanta, GA among variably urbanized watersheds. Streamflow data from 2012-2016 was utilized and the simple dynamical systems model employed. Dynamic storage values in these watersheds are small: ~3mm to ~9mm. The small dynamic storage values observed across the watersheds are linked to watershed urbanization; however, other subsurface properties of the watersheds may also account for this small storage values. Storage-discharge relations across all the watersheds are non-linear, except the most developed sub-watershed (35% impervious surface area). Two less urbanized sub-watersheds (21% and 26% impervious surface area), showed high streamflow sensitivity. Overall, this study shows that the simple dynamical system model performs well in urbanized watersheds and the South River Watershed can be regarded as a dynamical system.
Experimental Reduction Of Fe-Oxyhydroxides In Simulated Carbonate and Sulfide/Sulfate Brine: Implications for Paleolake Deposits.

description: Mineral reduction simulations imitating various geochemical environments were conducted over 1 ? 30 hours. Ferrihydrite was prepared from solid phases using a solvent-deficient method. In each experiment, ferrihydrite was abiotically reduced with sodium dithionite solution in 1 Molar buffered Na-carbonate and Na-sulfate/sulfide brine at 70øC under nitrogen atmosphere. Six (n=6) and ten (n=10) samples of resultant sulfate/sulfide and carbonate precipitates were collected, respectively. X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analytical methods were used to characterize the experimental products. Diagenetic siderite and goethite in carbonate simulations were identified with XRD. Siderite was observed as spherules and platy structures possibly of chukanovite. Calculations using PHREEQ software predicted siderite and pyrite forming in carbonate and sulfate/sulfide brines respectively. The expected pyrite did not precipitate. Rather magnetite, which was unexpected, was formed by either partial reduction of ferrihydrite or partial oxidation of an intermediate reduced phase such as wstite. Understanding the diagenetic pathways and water-mineral interactions of these systems is necessary for paleoenvironmental reconstruction and for the fidelity of paleomagnetic records.

The Significance of the Informal Waste Sector in A Minority World Country: A Case-Study of Metropolitan Atlanta
Creators: name: Shreeves, Anamarie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: This research examines the informal waste sector in a Minority World context through interviews with informal waste workers, city officials, and material buyers in metropolitan Atlanta. Globally, the informal waste sector is often unacknowledged or explicitly excluded by the jurisdictions in which they operate, and those working in the informal waste sector experience significant vulnerabilities. The empirical findings of this research expose the similarities of the informal waste sector in the Minority World (countries with a disproportionate share of political and economic power) to that of the Majority World (countries historically victimized by colonialism and imperialism, and most recently, capitalism), where the work is precarious and the workers are often vulnerable to economic and political pressures. I also found that the informal metal-recycling sector in metropolitan Atlanta is unacknowledged by the city officials and, in some cases, the sector is criminalized.

A Escala dos Objectos: uma reflexão sobre o nascimento e expansão  de um operador arquitectónico
Creators: name: Sequeira, B Meneses de, João
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: O presente artigo resulta de uma comunicação realizada para o III Ciclo de Conferências Internacionais, Arte, Arquitectura e Media cujo título foi “A crise do Objecto”, organizadas pela Escola de Comunicação, Arquitectura, Arte e Tecnologias da Informação com a colaboração do Museu Colecção Berardo. Segundo a hipótese levantada por Walter Benjamin existe uma espécie de dialéctica entre o valor de culto e o valor de exposição. Procuramos mostrar que a generalização do operador arquitectónico da “escala” foi um dos principais instrumentos usados para fazer entrar em crise não só essa dialéctica como os limites da arte e da arquitectura e a sua difusão marca a passagem da modernidade para a pósmodernidade. A pós-modernidade parece estar a transformar o espaço de referência da escala, por um lado permitindo um retorno do sublime, por outro criando novas relações funcionais que se manifestam mais na representação do que na simulação, sendo no entanto esta fronteira uma linha frágil. Palavras-chave: escala, operador, valor.
An Analysis of Climate Resilience Planning in Atlanta, Georgia
Creators: name: Muse, Nkosi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: This research focused on identifying the spatial distribution of two potential climate hazards in the City of Atlanta, Georgia. Extreme heat (1) is one of Atlanta?s most significant threats, and flooding (2) continues to plague its communities. Potential socioeconomic predictors of extreme heat (poverty, percent of black residents) proved not to have strong relationships with high land surface temperature (LST) at the census tract level. Urban flooding was found to be at its highest risk in southern areas of the city. A content analysis of city governance was performed to see how much of the previously identified hazards are addressed in Atlanta city planning. Analysis showed that flooding is the most planned for, followed by drought, and then heat. Despite heat posing the largest threat, there were minimal climate resilience strategies to explicitly address it. These results can inform improved climate planning and policy within the city of Atlanta.

A Paired-catchment Approach for Characterizing Hydrologic Response to Mountaintop Mining
Creators: name: Sattler, Elinor
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: This study examined six large-scale watersheds divided into three pairs (mined and unmined), leveraging streamflow and mining permit datasets from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), to develop a novel high-resolution time series of five decades of surface mining and valley fill activity for each watershed. Streamflow metrics were evaluated for trends and any correlation with mining permit history. Both mined and unmined watersheds experienced little or no change in annual flow. Mined watersheds exhibited significant decreasing trends in maximum flow and significant increasing trends in minimum flow, and these metrics were significantly correlated with mining permit history. No effect of mining cover on runoff ratio (Q/P) was found for any watershed. Future work should differentiate mining from other land-use/land-change disturbances in each watershed and expand on the mining permit histories developed in this study.
Sustainability Evaluation of Shallow Groundwater for Non-potable Use, GSU Downtown Campus, Atlanta, Georgia
Creators: name: Zowam, Fabian
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: Increasing attention has been brought to the issue of sustainability of the freshwater sources for the Metro Atlanta due to rapid urban growth and the significant surge in freshwater demand. The utilization of shallow groundwater in downtown Atlanta will promote more sustainable use of water resources by decreasing reliance on water supplied by the City of Atlanta sourced from the Chattahoochee River.
This research evaluated the sustainability of shallow groundwater on the Georgia State University (GSU) downtown campus, explicitly for non-potable use, particularly landscape irrigation. Aquifer testing (slug tests and Specific Capacity testing) indicate flow rates of up to 2 gpm are attainable in the immediate area of the GSU monitoring well network and could provide a sustainable source of water for irrigation. Geophysical investigations also inform a shallow groundwater potential boundary demarcating the areas more suitable for shallow, sustainable wells from those less so.
