Examining the market and regulatory dynamics behind the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project
The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) pilot project will be only the second operating offshore wind project in the United States when it enters service later this year. This gives Virginia, a state criticized for a weak regulatory environment and environmental policy that has been slow to …

An Assessment of Floating Treatment Wetlands for Reducing Nutrient Loads from Agricultural Runoff in Coastal Virginia
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are an innovative best management practice that can enhance the performance of traditional retention ponds by increasing removal of the nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P). FTWs consist of floating rafts on which wetland plants are planted, allowing the …

Applicability of Stormwater Best Management Practices in the Virginia Coastal Plain
The Virginia Runoff Reduction Method (RRM) was adopted in 2014 as a compliance tool for evaluation of stormwater volume and quality, and necessitates use of urban stormwater best management practices (BMPs) to meet regulatory standards. Coastal Virginia is characterized by flat terrain, shallow …

Addressing climate-driven challenges in groundwater management and coastal hydrogeology through numerical modeling
Addressing groundwater management and coastal hydrogeology in a changing climate requires an integrated approach using numerical modeling and geophysics. This dissertation explores groundwater sustainability, seismic risks, and submarine permafrost dynamics. The first two chapters examine the SWIFT …

Teachers' Perceptions of the Importance of Identified Servant Leadership Characteristics for High School Principals in Two Diverse Communities
… in two diverse communities, one located in urban coastal Virginia and the other located in rural southwestern Virginia. A similar number of participants were obtained from the two communities to assure appropriate representation for data analysis. A 48-item questionnaire using a Likert-type scale …
