Assessment of the Potential Effect of Climate Change on Hurricane Risk and Vulnerability in Florida (2014-12-05)Hurricanes are a yearly threat to the eastern and Gulf coasts of the United States. An increase in frequency and intensity of hurricanes is a possible and dangerous consequence of future climate change. To assess the threat ...
-
(2012-07-16)Coastal low oxygen areas are expanding globally and are predicted to increase in size and duration due to climatic changes associated with a warming ocean. The Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone (GoMHZ) is the second largest ...

(2018-11-29)Background: Hurricane Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 storm on the Texas Gulf Coast on August 26, 2017. In this study, we assessed the feasibility of evacuating the Houston-Galveston region of the U.S. Gulf Coast. ...
-
(2012-07-16)Open coastlines are dynamic environments which experience seasonal and long-term physical changes. Sandy beaches line much of this coastline. As part of the requirements for Ph.D., I conducted a study examining intertidal ...
-
(2010-01-16)This thesis presents an investigation of ensemble Gaussianity, the effect of non- Gaussianity on covariance structures, storm-centered data assimilation techniques, and the relationship between commonly used data assimilation ...
-
(2009-05-15)Hurricanes have caused severe damage to the electric power system throughout the Gulf coast region of the U.S., and electric power is critical to post-hurricane disaster response as well as to long-term recovery for impacted ...
-
(2009-05-15)Given the past history and future risk of storm surge in the United States, alternative storm protection techniques are needed to protect vital sectors of the economy and population, particularly within southeastern ...
-
(2012-07-16)This thesis is part of a project funded by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) (now Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE)) to study the use of epoxy to plug hurricane damaged wells. Some ...
-
The purpose of this study is to investigate and forecast the impact of hurricane Florence on home prices in North Carolina. Quantitative data was gathered from real estate comparison websites such as Zillow and Redfin, ...
-
(2011-08-08)The storm surge from Hurricane Ike inundated Bolivar Peninsula as well as pooled up (~4 meters above sea level) in the Galveston Bay System behind Bolivar. After the hurricane passed, this water flowed back over the ...
-
(2010-01-16)The damaging effects of hurricane landfall on US coastal bridges have been studied using physical model testing. Hurricane bridge damage and failure susceptibility has become very evident, especially during hurricane ...
-
(2021-07-29)Tropical cyclones have had a notable impact on the density of riparian forests within river floodplains along the Texas coast. Climate models forecast an increase in exposure to severe storms, emphasizing the need for ...
-
(2022-04-20)Hurricanes influence microplankton communities through many processes including mixing of the water column, changing community structure, and changing nutrient availability. In August of 2017, Hurricane Harvey inundated ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Matagorda Peninsula is located along an interfluvial region of the central Texas coast in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The Pleistocene Beaumont Clay underlies the coastal plain and inner continental shelf and controls ...
-
(1980)Synoptic analysis, diagnostic calculations of vorticity and divergence, and satellite imagery are used to determine the role played by the surrounding synoptic features in the intensity changes of a minimal Gulf of Mexico ...
-
(2013-05-01)Decent housing is a goal for many people not only in the United States but elsewhere in the world. A house becomes the symbol of family spirit whether it is a single-family or multiple-family home. Public housing in the ...
-
(2018-05-05)In this study, the regional-scale aerosol effects are quantitatively assessed under various weather conditions by conducting numerical modeling studies to improve the understanding of physical processes involved in ...
-
(2011-02-22)Adverse weather such as hurricanes can significantly affect the reliability of composite power systems. Predicting the impact of hurricanes can help utilities for better preparedness and make appropriate restoration ...
-
(2010-07-14)Performance-based engineering (PBE) requires advances in hazard characterization, structural modeling, and nonlinear analysis techniques to fully and efficiently develop the fragility expressions and other tools forming ...
