(2009-05-15)LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) directly measures canopy vertical structures, and provides an effective remote sensing solution to accurate and spatiallyexplicit mapping of forest characteristics, such as canopy height ...
-
(2017-11-14)Floodplains are among the most biologically productive, but also threatened ecosystems in the world with global loss of natural systems exceeding 60%. Human development activities, including the construction of dams, mining ...
-
(2017-08-21)This study explores the variation in wildfire risk from different development patterns. The analysis tests how an assortment of variables within the fire risk framework are affected by differing lateral development types. ...
-
(2019-05-21)Reactive nature of steam and clay minerals may lead to formation damage and flow assurance issues. This dissertation presents experimental investigation of oil recovery and changes in petrophysical properties as a function ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Over the course of normal oil well operations, pipes used downhole in the oil and petroleum industry tend to accumulate a mineral deposit on their interior, which restricts the flow of oil. This deposit, termed scale, ...
-
(2016-04-26)Steam assisted gravity-drainage (SAGD) is a method to produce bitumen or extra-heavy oil by injecting steam into the reservoir. The steam lowers the viscosity and the mixture of oil and water are then able to flow through ...
