Spatio-temporal distribution of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) relative to prescribed burns on rangeland in South Texas
(2009-05-15)
Overgrazing and fire suppression has left much rangeland in poor condition for
various wildlife species. Prescribed fire is one range improvement practice used to
restore degraded wildlife habitat. I determined the effect ...
Logistic regression models for predicting trip reporting accuracy in GPS-enhanced household travel surveys
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This thesis presents a methodology for conducting logistic regression modeling of trip and household information obtained from household travel surveys and vehicle trip information obtained from global positioning systems ...
Demonstration and analysis of tangible heritage management strategy using geographical information systems for the city of Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is focusing on towards two paradoxical
directions especially after the oil-boom. The first is the contemporary architectural
development, while the second is the conservation of traditional ...
A GIS-based Bayesian approach for analyzing spatial-temporal patterns of traffic crashes
(2009-06-02)
This thesis develops a GIS-based Bayesian approach for area-wide traffic crash analysis. Five years of crash data from Houston, Texas, are analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS), and spatial-temporal patterns ...
Residential cattle egret colonies in Texas: geography, reproductive success and management
(2009-05-15)
A phenomenon of large, upland breeding colonies of cattle egrets in residential
areas of Central Texas has been observed since the early 1960s. These large
concentrations of breeding birds can be a nuisance to nearby ...
Integration of stream and watershed data for hydrologic modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis presents the development of a hydrologic model in the vector environment. Establishing spatial relationship between flow elements is the key for flow routing techniques. Such a relationship is called hydrologic ...
Spatio-temporal analysis of Texas shoreline changes using GIS technique
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
One of the most important aspects of coastal management and planning programs that needs to be investigated is shoreline dynamics. Long-term coastal analysis uses historical data to identify the sectors along the coast ...
Development of an ArcGIS interface and design of a geodatabase for the soil and water assessment tool
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This project presents the development and design of a comprehensive interface coupled with a geodatabase (ArcGISwat 2003), for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a hydrologically distributed, lumped parameter ...
Constructing a GIS-based 3D urban model using LiDAR and aerial photographs
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Due to the increasing availability of high-resolution remotely sensed
imagery and detailed terrain surface elevation models, urban planners and
municipal managers can now model and visualize the urban space in ...
Abundance and distribution trends of the West Indian manatee in the coastal zone of Belize: implications for conservation.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The coastal zone of Belize is home to the largest recorded number of the threatened Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) within the species' Caribbean range. The objectives of my study were: (1) to determine ...
