(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 ...
-
(2018-07-03)Changes to climate and land use/land cover (LULC) are expected to be a source of uncertainty to streamflows in the Gulf Coastal Plains of Texas. Additionally, the city of Houston, Texas, is expected to experience spreading ...
-
(2019-05-15)Low impact development (LID) and green infrastructure have been increasingly practiced since their emergence in the 1990s. The hydrological benefits of these stormwater management techniques have been extensively studied ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Conservation of native wildlife is becoming increasingly difficult due to continued human population growth and expansion. As the human population continues to increase, so does the rate of consumption of our natural ...
-
(2012-02-14)This study explored the relationship between increased proportions of imperviousness in a watershed on surface water quality and examined the effectiveness of using remote sensing to systematically and accurately determine ...
-
(2009-05-15)Due to the effects urbanization has on land-use and land cover change (LULC), urban areas have a major influence on the environment. The strong coupling between the land and atmosphere can alter the microclimatology of ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This dissertation proposes a new, synthesized perspective for explaining the âÂÂNonmetropolitan Turnaroundâ in the 1970s and 1990s. By studying the definition of urbanization carefully, using the human ecological ...
-
(2017-05-09)Land changes significantly alter biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES), the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. It is important to accurately quantify the land changes in order to understand the implications of ...
-
(2015-09-25)There are far-reaching consequences of contemporary urbanization for sustainability and human well-being. Most of the world populations live in urban areas, with the most rapid growth in urban populations occurring in the ...

Urbanizing Watersheds and Changing River Flood Dynamics: Implications for Urban Wetland Restoration (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2003)Urbanization alters river hydrology, morphology, water quality, and habitat and ecology. Most of these associated changes are due to an increase in impervious surface cover (ISC) throughout the watershed. But the spatial ...
