Behavioral ecology and conservation of large mammals: historical distribution, reintroduction and the effects of fragmented habitat
(2009-05-15)
Conservation biologists have used reintroduction as a method to reestablish extirpated species in their native habitat. Three important aspects of a successful reintroduction effort include: (1) a habitat suitability study ...
A GIS-based Bayesian approach for analyzing spatial-temporal patterns of traffic crashes
(2009-06-02)
This thesis develops a GIS-based Bayesian approach for area-wide traffic crash analysis. Five years of crash data from Houston, Texas, are analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS), and spatial-temporal patterns ...
Residential cattle egret colonies in Texas: geography, reproductive success and management
(2009-05-15)
A phenomenon of large, upland breeding colonies of cattle egrets in residential
areas of Central Texas has been observed since the early 1960s. These large

Investigating impacts of natural and human-induced environmental changes on hydrological processes and flood hazards using a GIS-based hydrological/hydraulic model and remote sensing data
(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, ...
