(2009-06-02)Natural and human-induced environmental changes have been altering the earth's surface and hydrological processes, and thus directly contribute to the severity of flood hazards. To understand these changes and their impacts, ...
-
(2009-05-15)Increasing human activities have brought about a global warming trend, and cause global sea level rise. Investigations of variations in coastal margins of Antarctica and in the glacial dynamics of the Antarctic Ice Sheet ...
-
(2012-12-10)Numerous recent studies have documented dynamic changes in the behaviors of large marine-terminating outlet glaciers and ice streams in Greenland, the Antarctic Peninsula, and West Antarctica. However, fewer observations ...
-
(2023-04-12)Remote sensing tools such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) can screen thousands of genotypes in a short time, thus accelerating the selection process for crop improvement. An experiment was conducted at College Station and ...
-
(2015-02-20)Bark beetle populations phase between epidemic, outbreak levels, and low population density, endemic levels. The majority of scientific research is focused on outbreak populations because of the associated economic, ...
-
(2009-05-15)Traditional remote sensing image classification has primarily relied on image spectral information and texture information was ignored or not fully utilized. Existing remote sensing software packages have very limited ...
-
(2021-07-08)Soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) are key climate variables governing environmental processes from local to global scales. The global burgeoning of SM and ET datasets holds a significant potential in improving ...
-
(2012-07-16)The Uncompahgre River in Ouray, CO, was modified in 1996 from a braided river system to a meandering river channel. Large boulders of riprap were placed along designed meanders to prevent erosion and enable the development ...
-
(2009-05-15)The Gulf of California and its surrounding land areas provide a classic example of recently rifted continental lithosphere. The recent tectonic history of eastern Baja California has been dominated by oblique rifting that ...
-
Remote-Sensing Detection of Invasive Chinese Tallow (Triadica sebifera) in a Floodplain Environment (2015-08-10)Chinese tallow (Tradica sebifera) is an established invasive species in many southern woodlands in the United States. Its ability to adapt and spread quickly into disturbed areas has made it an invasive species of much ...
-
(2014-05-30)Groundwater serves as one of the main and reliable water sources for human-being and groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs). GDEs are threatened by insufficient groundwater supply, due to increasing groundwater extraction ...
-
(2013-05-06)Near-surface soil moisture is a key state variable of the hydrologic cycle and plays a significant role in the global water and energy balance by affecting several hydrological, ecological, meteorological, geomorphologic, ...
-
(2022-04-21)Site-specific treatment of weeds in agricultural landscapes has been gaining importance in recent years due to economic savings and minimal impact on the environment. Weed detection and recognition is a major component of ...
-
(2021-01-22)Wave energy has been identified as a major cause of wetland edge erosion in general. This dissertation focuses on the numerical modeling of wind-wave and sediment transport affecting erosion and accretion of salt marsh edges ...
