Abolfazli, Ehsan (author), Osborn, Ryan (author), Dunne, K.B.J. (author), Nittrouer, Jeffrey A. (author), Strom, Kyle (author)Muddy sediment constitutes a major fraction of the suspended sediment mass carried by the Mississippi River. Thus, adequate knowledge of the transport dynamics of suspended mud in this region is critical in devising efficient management plans for coastal Louisiana. We conducted laboratory tank experiments on the sediment suspended in the...journal article 2024

Becerra-Pérez, Luis Armando (author), Rincón, Luis E. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)Most gasoline currently consumed in Mexico continues to be oxygenated with Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) despite its proven effects on the environment and human health. Hence, the existence of a regulatory framework on biofuels and various institutional efforts have not been sufficient to develop a national market for anhydrous ethanol use...journal article 2023

Kockelkorn, A.M. (author), Schmid, Christian (author), Streule, Monika (author), Wong, Kit Ping (author)This article compares how state-initiated mass housing urbanization has contributed to processes of peripheralization in three very different historical and geopolitical settings: in Paris from the 1950s to the 1990s in Hong Kong from the 1950s to 2010s and in Mexico City from the 1990s to the 2010s. We understand mass housing urbanization as...journal article 2022

Canul-Reyes, D. A. (author), Rodríguez-Hernández, O. (author), Jarquin Laguna, A. (author)Mexico is an attractive candidate for offshore wind energy development due to its geographical location with extensive coasts in the Pacific Ocean and Mexico's Gulf. Although potential offshore wind areas have been geographically assessed, an evaluation of the seasonal variations of the capacity factors has not been considered for the...journal article 2022

Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Traffic counts collect information that is valuable, for example, in bridge and road design or maintenance processes. The average daily traffic volume is often the most collected measure of vehicular traffic, which is used in the design or assessment of major highways. Permanent control stations, situated in key locations of the highway network,...conference paper 2021

Carrasco Montejano, Jose (author)Mexico is currently transitioning to a low-carbon electricity production that has a specific goal of producing at least 50\% of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2050. Following the liberalization of its electricity sector in late 2013, private actors joined the Mexican government's efforts to increase the share of renewable energy;...master thesis 2020

Flores Santana, Cynthia (author)More than half of Mexico’s population is living in a type of poverty, recognized as a multidimensional challenge with a geographical context. Even though Mexico’s poverty is measured in a multifaceted way, the concept of Energy Poverty has not been studied, per se, by governmental institutions. It is until recently that the study of this concept...master thesis 2019

Flores Herrera, Emma (author)The thesis departed from the problem that is the lack of integration between theories like Regenerative Development and Design (RDD) and planning practices. Theories like RDD take a systematic approach towards bringing sustainable and adaptable solutions to the built environment. Theories like this are highly relevant because they embrace cities...master thesis 2019

Khan, Muhammad Arsalan (author)Modern wind turbines frequently operate at off-design conditions during their life cycle. They undergo dynamic loads characterized by unsteady aerodynamics. Predicting these unsteady aerodynamic loads has been very difficult due to the non-linear nature of unsteady aerodynamics. Especially when operating near the stall region, these turbine are...master thesis 2018

Vork, Jeroen (author)The construction of the new airport of Mexico City (NAICM) is challenging, as the subsoil at the site is very weak. The airport, which is under construction at the moment, is located on top of thick layers of Mexico Clay soils. These clayey layers consist of a mixture of both clay particles and pyroclastic volcanic materials. These unique soils...master thesis 2017
