(2023-11-21)This article links current understanding of major factors that cross critical climate thresholds: 1. Earth’s Anthropocene Epoch of exponential and unsustainable population, consumption, waste, and emissions damaging Earth ...
-
(2014-12-11)The Texas Plains, which include the Texas High Plains and Rolling Plains, is one of the largest cotton growing areas in the world. Cotton cultivation in this region is facing severe challenges from rapidly declining ...
-
(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 ...

(2015-07-24)In this dissertation we study the high-to-low latitude teleconnection during Younger Dryas-like abrupt climate events using models. The teleconnection considered here is between climate change induced by a freshwater input ...
-
(2012-10-19)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and a point of electricity generation is a promising option for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. One issue with respect to CCS is the design of carbon dioxide transport, storage and ...
-
(2023-08-02)Climate change is expected to increase the global temperature and alter water cycles, resulting in changes in crop yields. This expectation has motivated substantial research, and many economists have studied the complex ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2012-07-16)Projected climate change may alter soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from terrestrial ecosystems; yet disentangling effect of plant species from climate drivers remains a key challenge. We explored the effects of the dominant ...
-
(2021-02-01)This dissertation examines impacts of product information and environmental events on individual behavior and the economy. This is done using a causal inference econometric approach, an eye-tracking laboratory experiment, ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2014-10-15)Since its reappearance at the Military Demarcation Line in 1993, malaria has been occurring annually in Korea. Malaria is regarded as a third grade nationally notifiable disease susceptible to climate change. The objective ...
-
(2015-06-22)China has experienced substantial land cover changes for hundreds of years, such as deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urbanization. These land cover changes can modify the physical and thermodynamic characteristics ...
-
(2021-08-06)This paper investigates four critical questions: First, has the amount of solar irradiance that the Earth receives (Global Horizontal Irradiance) increased over time? This question requires that scientific instruments ...
