Simulation of Chinese Sorghum Imports from a New Perspective: U.S. and Global Impacts
This thesis aims to analyze the impacts on U.S. and global sorghum trade, and whether China will continue importing sorghum from the global sorghum market for feed use, if the Chinese government cancels its corn price support policy and corn temporary reserve program nationwide. This study uses the …

The Investment Casualties of War: Global Impacts of Armed Conflict on Foreign Direct Investment Inflows
… 1966 to 2015, I examine the short and long term impacts of armed conflict on global foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows using two measures of conflict intensity: Large conflicts or ‘wars’, with 1000 or more battle-related deaths and small conflicts, between 25-999 battle related deaths in a …

Learning from supply shocks in the energy market : evidence from local and global impacts of the shale revolution
… we carry out three studies of the local and global impacts of supply shocks in energy markets, and also analyze certain properties of these markets. First, the relationship between US power plants and local air pollution is assessed from 2003 to 2016, by exploiting the information provided by …

Multi-decadal Dynamics of Southern Ocean Open-Ocean Polynyas and Deep Convection: Insights from Climate Models
… Ocean play a fundamental role in regulating global climate through its influence on water mass formation, sea ice, and the large-scale overturning circulation. However, its variability, underlying mechanisms, and global impacts remain incompletely understood, particularly on multi-decadal to …

Development of DRAINMOD-based VBA model for evaluating drainage system response
… concentration of greenhouse gases, with global impacts on agriculture. This study assesses the potential impacts of climate change on subsurface drainage design in Illinois. Climate model projections from two general circulation models (GCMs), namely CCSM4 (Community Climate System Model) …

Analyzing el nino southern oscillation predictions from long-short-merm-memory models
El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can have global impacts across the world. Because of its prevalence, scientists run models to forecast its next move. Here, long-short-term-memory models (LSTM) were compared to linear regression models (LR) as first steps to explore the potential benefits of …

Geologic carbon dioxide sequestration from the Mexican oil industry : an action plan
… environmental negotiations. In response, global energy corporations have been looking for practical ways of reducing their industrial carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Capturing massive quantities of CO₂ from flue gases (at large stationary sources) and storing them in geologic formations is …

The Tambora project: an atmospheric simulation and historical evaluation of the Mount Tambora eruption and its impacts on global climate and society (1815-18)
The Tambora Project reconstructs on a global scale the most destructive episode of abrupt climate change in the modern historical record. The volcanic sulfate veil produced by the Tambora eruption in the period 1815-18 depressed temperatures and disrupted storm tracks in monsoonal India, thereby …

High temperature SO2 chemisorption on model systems. Implications for in-plume processes.
… and may also prevent assessment of environmental impacts resulting from volatile scavenging. Limited assessment of these impacts may have implications for local communities affected by ashfall onto vegetation, soils and into water bodies, and ashfall from very large eruptions may have global …

Detection and characterization of forest disturbances in California
… forest disturbances are a major influence on the global carbon cycle, with the local and global impacts of a disturbance event depending in large part on the timing, intensity, and cause of the disturbance. With some disturbance agents expected to increase in frequency and severity under the …

Absolute Sustainability of Australian Cities
… Both approaches generally overlook environmental impacts on biodiversity, biogeochemical flows, and chemical pollution, and food adequacy. The safe and just space concept was operationalized using a globally nested subnational multiregional input-output table to assess the footprints of at risk …

A modeling framework for spatial transmission of Covid-19 in local communities
… for several days, COVID-19 turned into a global pandemic. Almost all countries in the world have been exposed to the virus. Just in the United States, the COVID-19 cases are over 75 million, with more than 886K deaths as of February 2022. The pandemic duration and the enormous impacts on …

Terrestrial Impacts of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province on western Pangea
… has been associated with a disruption to the global carbon cycle due the emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Evidence has shown that this global carbon cycle perturbation may be the culprit for the end-Triassic extinction. The Whitmore Point Member of the Moenave …

Volcanic deformation as an indicator of mechanical stability and eruption susceptibility
… kilometers of material with severe local and global impacts that pose great risks to human health and society at large. Understanding how these systems form and what triggers their catastrophic eruption therefore is critical for assessing future hazards. The classic paradigm in volcanology is …

Material realities, belief and aspiration in the later 19th century rock engravings of the Williston District of the Karoo
… Karoo dwellers experienced and possibly mediated global impacts through 'older' cultural practice and belief. These impacts started in the 18th century in the Northern Cape when the trickle of Trek Boers of Dutch and German descent began to interact with, displace and disrupt San hunter-gatherers …
