  1. Using Critical Physical Geography to Map the Unintended Consequences of Conservation Management Programs

    A variety of conservation trends have gained and lost favor throughout the years in agriculture, with U.S. Farm Bills often influencing what conservation practices are implemented by farming communities...

  2. Slope, Grain Size, and Roughness Controls on Dry Sediment Transport and Storage on Steep Hillslopes

    Existing hillslope sediment transport models developed for low-relief, soil-mantled landscapes are poorly suited to explain the coupling between steep rocky hillslopes and headwater channels. Here we address...

  3. High-Performance Computing for Drought Prediction

    In recent decades, there has been considerable interest in using satellite soil moisture data to examine the global water-energy cycle and manage water resources. Current satellites are limited in their sensing...

  4. Geotechnical Statistical Evaluation of Lahore Site Data and Deep Excavation Design

    Geotechnical characterization for foundation design is critical during preliminary planning, designing and feasibility studies of various engineering projects. In this research, an effort has been made to...

  5. Performance Analysis of DroughtHPC

    We present our performance analysis of DroughtHPC, a software application being developed by an interdisciplinary effort lead by Dr.Moradkhani in the Civil Engineering department, Dr. Daescu in the Math...

  6. Assessing Hydrologic and Water Quality Sensitivities to Precipitation Changes, Urban Growth and Land Management Using SWAT

    Precipitation changes and urban growth are two factors altering the state of water quality. Changes in precipitation will alter the amount and timing of flows, and the corresponding sediment and nutrient...

  7. Evaluating Global Sensitivity Analysis Methods for Hydrologic Modeling over the Columbia River Basin

    Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) approach helps to identify the effectiveness of model parameters or inputs and thus provides essential information about the model performance. The effects of 14 parameters and...

  8. Satisfaction, Water and Fertilizer Use in the American Residential Macrosystem

    Residential yards across theUSlook remarkably similar despite marked variation in climate and soil, yet the drivers of this homogenization are unknown. Telephone surveys of fertilizer and irrigation use and...

  9. Patterns and Processes of Salt Efflorescences in the McMurdo region, Antarctica

    Evaporite salts are abundant around the McMurdo region, Antarctica (~78°S) due to very low precipitation, low relative humidity, and limited overland flow. Hygroscopic salts in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs)...

  10. Factors Driving the Concentration of Ephemeral Flow

    In spite of decades of related research, stream channel initiation is still not well understood. Current theories of channel initiation are grounded in research conducted by Montgomery and Dietrich, largely in...
