Latterman, LaDonna (2012-02-14)The tropical glaciers in the Bolivian Andes Mountains are small and respond quickly to changes in their climate. They are also a major source of freshwater year-round for nearby communities. Monitoring the glacial changes ...
-
Langerlan, Kent A. (2010-07-14)As human population increases, demand for water supplies will cause an increase in pumping rates from confined aquifers which may become unconfined after long-term pumping. Such an unconfined-confined conversion problem ...
-
Reed, John Christopher (2013-02-06)Mountain areas are prime locations for mass movement activity, as a result of their steep slopes and large amount of local relief. As a rapid mass movement phenomena, landslides are responsible for a considerable numbers ...
-
Ibrahim, ElSayed Ali Hermas (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Connectivity is considered one of the fundamental aspects that influences the rate of mass movement in the landscape. The connectivity aspect has been acknowledged from various conceptual geomorphic frameworks. None of ...

Kincaid, Joni L. (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Over the past century, glaciers throughout the tropics have predominately retreated. These small glaciers, which respond quickly to climate changes, are becoming increasingly important in understanding glacier-climate ...

Heo, Joonghyeok (2013-07-16)Water is the most important resource on Earth. Climate and land cover changes are two important factors that directly influenced water resources. This research provides important information for water resources management ...
-
Wunneburger, Douglas Frank (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Resource managers are frequently in need of high resolution imagery within short turn-around periods. Videography provides a source for such data. Current videographic capabilities are limited by the narrow field of view ...
-
Zhang, Ke (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)This study was undertaken to develop a landuse expert system based on a geographic information system (GIS). More specifically, this study has developed a method of Knowledge Extraction from GIS (KEGIS) by machine-learning ...
-
Santibanez-Rivera, Rodrigo (2011-02-22)The retail business has been negatively affected due to the increasing customer concerns about food safety and the recent events related to microbiological and chemical contamination of food products, such as the melamine ...

Khedun, C. Prakash; Mishra, Ashok K.; Singh, Vijay P.; Giardino, John R. (2014-01-14)The influence of two large-scale circulation patterns (the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)), and the effect of the interdecadal modulation of ENSO on precipitation in the state ...

Huang, Chi-Ying (2012-07-16)By 2006, the U.S. government has spent $15 billion to address the degradation of urban streams, including erosion of stream banks, disconnection of rivers from the floodplain, and disturbance of surface runoff pathways. ...

De Leon, Tiffany Lucinda (2011-10-21)Collector well designs are necessary to maximize groundwater uptake and riverbank filtration without negatively impacting an aquifer. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information and research regarding the implementation ...
-
Cook, Timothy D. (2010-01-16)Present models suggest that fluvial and marine depositional patterns were distinct from modern patterns prior to the appearance of land plants. Although these models are likely correct, problems exist when one attempts to ...
-
Weymer, Bradley (2012-07-16)The alongshore variability of beach-dune systems and the response and recovery from extreme storms remains poorly understood. The height and extent of foredunes along barrier islands varies over a range of spatial scales, ...
-
Harper, Rebecca Anne (2011-10-21)Mason, Texas and the surrounding areas have been previously studied and mapped at small scales, showing the large normal faults that cut through the area. Many secondary faults exist close to the large faults, and are not ...

A Geomorphological Assessment of Armored Deposits Along the Southern Flanks of Grand Mesa, CO, USA Brunk, Timothy J. (2011-08-08)A series of deposits, located along the southern flanks of Grand Mesa, Colorado, and extending to the south, are problematic, and the processes related to emplacement are not understood. The overall area is dominated by ...
