Weyand, Sydney Rachael (2017-12-13)Humans live in an ever-changing, increasingly-complicated world. As the fundamental understanding of systems changes, those tasked with managing these may find themselves faced with new situations with problems more complex ...
-
Tian, Liyan (2017-07-12)Drought is a recurrent natural hazard that has impacts on agriculture, hydrology, ecosystem, and social-economy. A comprehensive analysis of drought is valuable for drought assessment and mitigation. Oklahoma is a state ...

Moeen, Mariam (2021-07-20)In the region of northwestern Namibia, the desert elephants’ population has been reduced to a total of 81 remaining as of 2019. Their population has been on a steady decline due to poaching, wars in the region, increasing ...
-
Morgan, John (2022-07-27)Rivers host complex exchanges between the water and atmosphere at their flowing surface. Constraining estimates of global river and surface area is important to account for greenhouse gas evasion from the fluvial network. ...
-
Shen, Xiao (2017-12-11)As transition zones between river and ocean, estuaries face increasing pressure on their ecosystem health due to changes of freshwater quantity and quality – especially under the impacts of population growth, land use/land ...
-
Sun, Lu (2019-04-05)Cloud feedback remains one of the largest sources of uncertainty in model climate sensitivity estimates, partly because of the complicated interactions between convective processes, radiative effects, and the large-scale ...
-
Verma, Vivek (2017-07-18)Observed and synthesized sequences of stream flow data are explored from the perspective of improving capabilities for disaggregating monthly naturalized flow volumes, representing natural undeveloped conditions, to daily ...
-
Mbabazi, Deanroy (2023-04-21)The terrestrial carbon, energy, and water cycles are coupled through soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) control on gross primary productivity (GPP) thus controlling the biosphere, land-atmosphere interactions, ...
-
Ryu, Minkyu (2015-09-23)The objectives of the dissertation research are (1) to improve and expand capabilities for developing naturalized or otherwise homogenous river flows representing specified conditions of basin development for input to ...

Lasco, Jonathan David Dionela (2022-07-27)In many cases, estimation of the peak discharge is the primary goal of hydrologic modeling. We employed a dataset of 1,648 rainfall-runoff events in 104 watersheds in Texas to explore the peak rate factor (PRF) of 484 ...
-
Merket, Courtney Brooke (2017-08-16)Traditional hydrologic modeling has compartmentalized the water cycle into distinct components (e.g. Traditional hydrologic modeling has compartmentalized the water cycle into distinct components (e.g. rainfall-runoff, ...
-
Zhao, Gang (2014-11-18)With the rapid population growth and economic development in the State of Texas, a fast urbanization process has occurred over the past several decades. The direct consequences of the increased impervious area are greater ...
-
Shao, Manqing (2018-11-02)Urbanization is an important driver of environmental problems. Severe urban flooding resulting from increased impervious area threatens resident security, household assets, and infrastructure integrity. However, the impacts ...
-
Mei, Xiaohan (2021-11-22)The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) have been widely used as rainfall-runoff models since the 1990s. The former is a more complex, physically-based model that went through ...
-
Sellers, Samantha Elaine (2023-05-02)El Paso County, Texas is prone to many natural hazards that are intensifying due to anthropogenic changes. Population growth from migration to the United States and job opportunities, in turn, is causing an increase in ...
-
Li, Yao (2020-07-21)Reservoirs play a significant role in water management, with functions related to water supply, hydropower generation, flood protection, and biodiversity conservation. To operate reservoirs efficiently for maximum benefit, ...
-
Liu, Ying (2016-08-05)Global urbanization is a major trend in the 21st century and imposes a significant impact on the hydrologic cycle, climate, and biodiversity. In particular, Asia and Africa are expected to experience the fastest urbanization ...
