(2022-07-27)Rivers host complex exchanges between the water and atmosphere at their flowing surface. Constraining estimates of global river and surface area is important to account for greenhouse gas evasion from the fluvial network. ...
-
(2017-05-17)Step-pool sequences have long been studied in high-gradient streams for the application in erosion control, ecology, and restoration projects. Step-pool sequences are defined as an alternating series of clasts and pools, ...
-
(2023-04-21)The terrestrial carbon, energy, and water cycles are coupled through soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) control on gross primary productivity (GPP) thus controlling the biosphere, land-atmosphere interactions, ...
-
Deep Water Mixing Prevents Harmful Algal Bloom Formation: Implications for Managed Fisheries Refugia (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, ...
-
(2022-01-05)Geospatial technology has rapidly developed over the past ten years and is making substantial impacts in geomorphology. The new techniques, which have been developed, require high computational ability to produce in-depth ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A distributed watershed model was developed to mathematically simulate routing overland and channel flow for a single-event storm. The watersheds used in the study were subdivided into rectangular grid elements. All ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)This dissertation reports on economic studies of Texas Interbasin Water Transfers (IBT) as a way to lessen expected water shortages, Texas minimum freshwater inflows requirements (FWIB) to protect environmental flows and ...
-
(2010-07-14)In Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), oftentimes, Critical Source Area (CSA), the minimum upstream drainage area that is required to initiate a stream, is used to subdivide a watershed. In the current literature, CSA ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)A simulation model of hourly rainfall amounts was developed to provide hourly precipitation input to a water balance model. The hourly rainfall model consists of four parts: (1) daily rainfall occurrence, (2) event rainfall ...
-
(2020-08-27)Alteration of the flow regime may affect species distributions, mechanisms of community assembly, and patterns of energy flow within and between fluvial ecosystems. Changes in the periodicity and predictability of flows ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2013-04-23)Harrington Sound, located in east central Bermuda, is almost entirely enclosed by land except for a 26.4 m wide channel called Flatts Inlet. This limited connection to the open ocean restricts Harrington Sound’s tides, ...
-
(2014-08-06)The invasive species Arundo donax (hereafter Arundo), has invaded the riparian zones of the Rio Grande River and the rivers of the Texas Hill Country over the last two decades. Arundo, also known as the giant cane, is a ...
-
(2021-07-08)Soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) are key climate variables governing environmental processes from local to global scales. The global burgeoning of SM and ET datasets holds a significant potential in improving ...
-
(2017-07-11)Hydrologic changes have affected coastal ecosystem sustainability along the Texas coast and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Human utilization of coastal ecosystems has led to the alteration of tidal hydrology. These ecosystems ...
-
(2015-12-14)The interaction between drought and river regulation is monitored to better understand river flow mixing, evaporation, and surface-groundwater exchange in changing regional climates and in increasingly regulated waterways. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )Detailed descriptions of the thecal plates of ten species of the genus Dinophysis, one of which is new, are given. Disclosure of a small plate, reported for the first time, necessitates a new plate formula and raises ...
-
(2022-03-24)Fishes that migrate within freshwater and exhibit periodic life history traits are broadly distributed and particularly sensitive to the effects of river regulation. However, persistence of migratory fishes in highly ...
