Seismic loss assessment of sequential rupture of New Madrid Seismic Zone on the Central US
… series, the expected consequences will cause catastrophic impacts to directly affected areas and beyond. An accurate earthquake impact assessment of the NMSZ is essential to generate an efficient response from FEMA and its associates and to educate and prepare the general population. The …

Development of Deep Shear Wave Velocity Profiles and an Approach to Generate Site Signature Consistent Pseudo Shear Wave Velocity Profiles in the Mississippi Embayment
… methods, including MSPAC, HRFK and FK are used to resolve experimental dispersion data from surface wave measurements. SWM VS profile at the Central US Seismic Observatory (CUSSO) site is validated by comparing with the downhole measurements at the site. Both a-priori and blind approach …

A new way to do epidemic modeling
The Coronavirus respiratory disease 2019 originating from the virus SARS-COV-2 led to a global pandemic, leading to more than 500 million confirmed global cases and approximately 6 million deaths in more than 50 countries. Since the outbreak of this pandemic, a number of modeling frameworks have …

SCAPHIRHYNCHUS STURGEON EARLY-LIFE HISTORY
… elements differ between river reaches of the central US and may be used to determine origin of age-0 sturgeon. My trace element analyses suggested that age-0 sturgeon captured in the Middle Mississippi River, which extends from the confluence of the Missouri River downstream to the confluence …

The effect of timing of growing season drought on flowering of Andropogon gerardii
… between ecosystems. In tallgrass prairie of the central US, the relative importance of different precipitation periods is dictated by the phenology of the dominant C4 grasses, in particular Andropogon gerardii which can contribute >80% to ANPP in this ecosystem. It is predicted that precipitation …

Mesozoic Rift Evolution and Crustal Structure of the Gulf of Mexico Basin from Integration of Multiple Geological and Geophysical Datasets
… of the Triassic-Jurassic rift history and crustal structure of the GOM is limited. This dissertation integrates satellite free-air gravity data, full-tensor gravity gradient data, 104,000 line-kilometers of 2D reflection data, and publicly available refraction data and deep wells over 4.2 …

Sensitivity of inorganic aerosol impacts to US precursor emissions
… ammonia (NH₃). Emissions of NOx and SO₂ in the US have recently decreased, by 42% and 62% respectively for annual totals between 2005 and 2012, in response to economic, political, and technological developments. Under such large changes, the processes of aerosol formation may behave nonlinearly. …

Formation waters in petroleum reservoirs : their controls and applications
… hydrocarbon reservoir case studies (the Central US coalbed methane reservoir, the San Juan Basin and the North Sea oilfield Miller) provided an insight not only into the fundamental controls on formation water composition, but also into the effects of active oilfield development on …

Characterization of Hessian fly from Israel
… growing areas of the world and poses a serious economic threat to the United States (US), particularly in the Southeast winter wheat region. Damage to wheat is done solely by feeding first and second in-star larvae. Hessian fly (Hf) infestations result in a loss in grain yield by the stunting …

The potential implications of bioenergy crop production for water and energy balance and carbon and nitrogen dynamics in the United States
… and coupled carbon and nitrogen dynamics in the US. To achieve this objective, I apply and extend a coupled biogeochemical and biogeophysical model, the Integrated Science Assessment Model (ISAM), to develop a dynamic crop growth model for specific row crops (corn and soybean) and bioenergy …
