Developing Methods for Studying the Fate and Transport of Contaminants in Snow and IceMann, Erin 23 August 2011 (has links)
Snow and ice can significantly affect the environmental fate of contaminants. This thesis presents a laboratory technique for measuring mercury in metamorphosing snow, and a computer model for organic contaminants in a seasonally ice covered ocean. The laboratory method to study the fate of mercury in snow was developed using laboratory-made snow of controlled composition made in a cold room, aged and melted, with mercury quantified in air, snow, and dissolved and particulate fractions of the melt water. It was found that the method gave a mass balance for mercury, and can be used to look at mercury fate in snow representative of different environments. The fugacity based fate and transport model for organic contaminants in a seasonally ice-covered ocean was parameterized to Barrow Strait, and tested against environmentally derived net air to sea water fluxes. It was found that the model could reproduce these environmental data.
