Le, Julieta (2018-01-29)Long-term soil moisture monitoring sites are a source of data both for drought forecasting and hydrological and land surface modeling validation. Uncertainties in soil moisture monitoring data are not well documented and ...
-
Robertson, Clinton Ray (2009-05-15)The middle Brazos River, located in east central Texas, is a meandering lowland river that contains many oxbow lakes on its floodplain. Flood dynamics of the Brazos River are aseasonal, and faunal exchange during lateral ...
-
Kamps, Ray Herbert (2014-12-11)Two tree species, Plateau live oak (Quercus fusiformis) and Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei) survive and thrive in a dense woodland on thin soil overlying massive limestone formations in the Texas Hill Country with recurrent ...
-
Lee, Adam Allen (2017-02-15)Rivers and streams develop landform morphology in equilibrium with the flow of water and sediment through the channel. This dissertation examines features in fluvial systems with different geomorphic regimes; step-pool ...
-
Deep Water Mixing Prevents Harmful Algal Bloom Formation: Implications for Managed Fisheries Refugia Hayden, Natanya Jeanne (2012-10-19)Inflows affect water quality, food web dynamics, and even the incidence of harmful algal blooms. It may be that inflows can be manipulated to create refuge habitat for biota trying to escape poor environmental conditions, ...
-
Medina, Candice Renee (2018-05-07)The presence of coarse fragments (rocks) can impact soil physical properties such as volumetric water content, bulk density, and plant available water. Soils containing greater than 35 percent coarse fragments by volume ...
-
Watts, David A. (2010-07-14)The first objective of this study was to investigate the role of an invasive grass species, Arundo donax (L.), on the hydrologic cycle. At a site on the Rio Grande in South Texas, we measured the gas exchange of carbon ...
-
Guerra, Kathie Alexandra (2020-01-30)Soil water availability influences the physiological, structural, and functional properties of plants. The physical properties of the soil play an important role in determining water availability, and shapes both the root ...
-
Navarrete Ganchozo, Ronald J. (2011-02-22)Groundwater use is of fundamental importance to meet rapidly expanding urban, industrial, and agricultural water requirements, particularly in semiarid zones. To quantify the current rate of groundwater recharge is thus a ...
-
Kokel, Haley Nicole (2017-04-28)Invasive aquatic vegetation is problematic in many Texas lakes and reservoirs and requires management for control. Most often an integrated pest management program incorporating biological, mechanical or chemical means is ...
-
Pizano, Rebecca I (2013-06-11)In 2011, Texas experienced the worst drought in recorded history. This has escalated concerns regarding environmental flows needed to sustain freshwater and estuarine systems as human needs are addressed during drought ...
-
Trimble, Aaron (2021-05-11)With increased regulation of rivers for human use, an improved understanding of the needs of the riparian ecosystem is necessary to develop management practices that sustain these ecosystems. The primary objective of this ...
-
Monroe, Emily Elizabeth (2016-12-06)The western rising branch of the local Walker circulation over the Atlantic intensifies as a result of enhanced convection and the associated latent heat release over the greater Amazon region. Monthly measurements gathered ...
-
Barre, David Anthony (2010-10-12)The Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer is a valuable groundwater resource, situated in a semi-arid landscape of Southwest Texas, where over-use by dependent farming practices has lowered aquifer levels. In semi-arid regions, rates ...
-
Rhodes, Alizia Barnes (2023-08-07)Anthropogenic changes to freshwater inflow into estuarine environments may have detrimental consequences, as changing salinity regimes may cause some species to proliferate at the expense of others. One such species of ...
-
Flores, Manuel Romeo (2020-04-07)With a high species diversity, novel ecosystem functioning, and distinct topographic features, tropical forests are home to vegetation that is highly specialized and adapted to its environment. While this has resulted in ...
-
Neely, Haly Lury (2014-04-17)Soil crack volume estimates, which are important for hydrology models on shrink-swell soils, are currently based on field measurements of vertical shrinkage and an assumption of isotropic shrinkage; however, few studies ...
-
Rivera, Leonardo Daniel (2011-10-21)Soil hydraulic properties, such as saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), have high spatial variation, but little is known about how to vary a few measurements of Ks over an area to model hydrology in a watershed with ...
-
The Temporal Variation of Vertical Micrometeorological Profiles in a Lower Montane Tropical Forest Andrews, Ryan S (2016-05-02)Earth system models recently began to implement a multilevel canopy modeling approach to represent vertical variation in biophysical and microclimate parameters. To inform such modeling efforts, this study seeks to ...
