This project covers the impacts of climate change on the West African Monsoon system using observations and simulations from a set of climate models. We focus on three variables that characterize the wet season: date of ...
-
(2013-07-02)The interplay between convective processes and the stabilizing effects of largescale systems remains debated, especially for warmer climates. We study sets of simulations of past and present climates in which carbon dioxide ...
-
(2023-05-01)This dissertation investigates extreme temperature events, their drivers, and their impact on society across three main sections. As the climate warms, understanding these events and their consequences becomes increasingly ...
-
(2017-05-22)The alpine treeline ecotone is an important component of mountain ecosystems of the Nepal Himalayas; it plays a vital role in the livelihood of indigenous people and provides ecosystem services. However, the region faces ...
-
(2014-08-08)A modified incorporated snow algorithm in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was applied to consider spatial variation of associated snow parameters by elevation band for flow simulation of five mountainous river basins ...
-
(2010-07-14)Flooding inundation during hurricanes has been very costly and dangerous. However, the impact of climate change on hurricane flooding is not well understood at present. As sea surface temperatures increase, it is expected ...
-
(2010-10-12)The present work examines the potential impact of changes in climatic conditions on the long-term functioning of nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants are potentially susceptible to changes both in acute risks, such ...
-
(2016-05-05)A portions of San Juan Mountains are located in the alpine critical zone, which extends from the boundary layer between the atmosphere and the surface of Earth. In this zone, atmospheric and geomorphic processes drive all ...

(2023-03-30)In my dissertation, I aim to contribute to the innovation literature. A major stream of research in this literature is focused on the factors that influence innovation in firms, conceptualized mainly as product (goods and ...
-
(2018-08-03)This dissertation investigates the match of current Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) price differential policy with current conditions and the effects of shifting diesel prices on price differentials along with climate ...
-
(2014-12-02)Drought is a deficiency in the hydro climatic variable of interest that is experienced for an extended period of time. In many parts of the world, it is a normal, recurring feature of climate and is therefore inevitable. ...
-
(2012-07-16)This dissertation examines issues related to avian influenza (AI) disease. This is done via three essays that individually examine: (1) the impacts of climate change on the probability and expected numbers of AI outbreaks ...
-
(2022-07-25)The U.S. northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) coastal waters provide invaluable ecosystem functions and services for human welfare. However, GoM ecosystems have been disrupted by decades of anthropogenic activities in conjunction ...
-
(2011-08-08)The amount of carbon flux from soils on a global scale is estimated at over 75 x 1015 g C yr-1. Climate change is projected to affect regional environmental conditions, raising temperatures and altering precipitation ...
-
(2016-09-06)Climate models predict that tropical lower stratospheric humidity will increase as the climate warms, with important implications for the chemistry and climate of the atmosphere. We analyze this trend in 21st-century ...
-
(2019-05-03)This research aims to identify the climate change and air pollution emissions impact on renewable energy resources, specifically for solar energy availability. We analyzed meteorological reanalysis data of solar radiation ...
-
(2020-07-22)Texas has a spatial rainfall pattern with a decreasing gradient from east to west that greatly influences land use, vegetation, and river flow. From a hydrometeorological perspective, this variation leads to unfavorable ...
