Establishment of a Research Site at the Kennedy Mountain Campus for the Observation of Airborne Particulate Matter
Get PDFThis thesis explored particulate matter (PM) concentrations at two sites within the Colorado Front Range. The study utilized two models of PurpleAir PM sensors, Flex and SD-II, to provide real-time, accessible data on PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 mass concentrations with the goal of establishing the first research site at the Kennedy Mountain Campus (KMC). The first of the two sites used during this study was at a suburban location outside of Denver, CO. This period was used as an instrument intercomparison period in order to conduct instrument analysis. The initial findings from this period found significant correlations between PM concentration measurements from different models (R2 of 0.98 to 0.89). PurpleAir Flex model sensors consistently showed higher PM concentrations than the SD models (0.15 to 0.27 times higher). The sensors were then deployed at the KMC to establish an atmospheric research site and provide preliminary data for the new site. The first available data (17 weeks of ambient measurements) provided similar conclusions to the intercomparison period, with Flex sensors recording higher PM concentrations. The findings also showed data relating to diurnal trends at the campus and PM size fraction trends. The study emphasizes the potential for further research to be conducted with the PurpleAir sensors to determine the PM sources, PM trends, and pollutant effects at the new KMC low mountain site. The research conducted within this study is foundational work supporting the future establishment of a long-term research site at the KMC, fostering future research collaborations and contributions to the broader atmospheric science community and beyond. It is important to note that for this thesis\u27s purposes, data acquisition was cut off at the end of April to allow for analysis and inclusion in it; however, it is important to note that data collection is still continuously ongoing
After All These Years- A Novella Project
No full textThis novella is a cumulation of my time in DU’s Creative Writing program. This novella marks the transition from short stories to longer forms of creative fiction, reaching 140 pages as it tackles complicated relationships, the unease of disaster, and the impact of magic surfacing during an apocalypse.
Lucy and David Meadows have lived a longer life than most. Living on magic since 1856, both have honed their hidden abilities and settled into their long lifespans. They’ve thought they were the only ones. As the United States comes under attack, they begin to discover an underlying magical current underneath the weapons. Confronted by disaster and the knowledge that they are no longer alone; they begin to realize what they had missed over the centuries. As their personal relationships and landscape of the United States begins to fracture under the barrage of war, the pair must make their way to safety in Denver and decide what they want from themselves in the new future and from each other
