In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen
-Schopnost artikulovat svět jeho vlastními prostředky za použití postprodukční manipulace a vzájemné intervence. -Snaha o formulaci "bez přízvuku" tak, aby příjemce sdělení (již subjektivně) vnímal relaci mezi objektivně definovanými entitami. -Vše nové definujeme na základě již poznaného... …

Fuel Shortages During Hurricanes: Epidemiological Modeling and Optimal Control
<p>Hurricanes are powerful agents of destruction with significant socioeconomic impacts. A persistent problem due to the large-scale evacuations during hurricanes in the southeastern United States is the fuel shortages during the evacuation. Fuel shortages often lead to stranded vehicles and …

Effects of hurricanes and fires on southeastern savanna-forest landscapes
… composition and structure of plant communities. Hurricanes and natural lightning-season fires are large-scale, frequent disturbances in southeastern savanna-forest landscapes. Although interactive effects have been proposed, my research is the first to develop and experimentally test mechanistic …

Response of barrier island fish assemblages to impacts from multiple hurricanes: assessing resilience of Chandeleur Island fish assemblages to hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005)
Hurricanes can temporarily disrupt seasonal patterns of fish assemblage change or result in permanent changes in fish assemblages. I studied the effects of two hurricanes on fish assemblages at the Chandeleur Islands and the possible influence that storm-generated tidal channels may have on the …

Understanding housing reconstruction in Puerto Rico after Hurricanes Irma and Maria
Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the archipelago of Puerto Rico during the 2017 hurricane season, amidst a long term financial crisis already present on the Island. As a territory of the United States; policy, resources, and decision making relevant to housing reconstruction post-disaster in …

Barotropic instability and asymmetric mixing in hurricanes with primary and secondary eyewalls
Asymmetric vorticity mixing in hurricanes is studied in the context of a nondivergent barotropic framework. The stability of primary and secondary eyewalls is considered through linear analyses and numerical experiments using a pseudospectral model. For the case of unstable primary eyewalls, which …

A numerical and observational study of the genesis of concentric eyewall hurricanes
… dynamics of the genesis of concentric eyewall hurricanes. More specifically, we focus on the effects of external eddy forcing associated with upper-level wave asymmetries in the environment of tropical cyclones, and through what processes these effects can be achieved. Our approach is a …

Landscape analysis of vegetation change in coastal Louisiana following hurricanes Katrina and Rita
… across broad geographic regions. The 2005 hurricanes, Katrina and Rita, exposed Louisiana coastal landscapes to physical modifications and extensive and prolonged flooding, resulting in measurable physicochemical changes. This research used remote sensing and field investigations to …

A Machine-Learning Based Approach to Predicting Waterborne Disease Outbreaks Caused by Hurricanes
… of (extra-) tropical cyclones including hurricanes and winter storms worldwide. Waterborne diseases, resulting from flood-related impacts, affect public health and are of major concern for society. Previous research studies have highlighted a statistically significant linear correlation …

Accounting for disaster : small business recovery in North Carolina after Hurricanes Matthew and Florence
… of coastal communities beset by stronger hurricanes and more frequent flooding. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew flooded much of North Carolina's southeastern region, inundating thousands of homes and businesses. Two years later, Hurricane Florence interrupted the state's recovery, precipitating …

The Joint Influence of ENSO and NAO on US Landfalling Hurricanes and their Origination Points
… between ENSO and NAO or landfalling hurricanes and their formation regions. This research found a relationship exists between the ENSO and NAO throughout the full year, but this relationship is reduced during hurricane season alone. A connection between NAO+ and landfalling hurricanes …

Sedimentological Characteristics and 3-D Internal Architecture of Washover Deposits from Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne
… facing barrier islands during the passages of Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne in 2004. These high-energy storm events provided a unique opportunity to study the spatial depositional patterns and internal sedimentary architecture of fresh washover deposits resulting from inundation to …
