Hydrologic impacts due to application of dust suppressants
This study presents research on changes in hydrologic characteristics of disturbed land surfaces that have been treated with dust suppressants. The objective of this research was to develop a better understanding of the impacts, related to application of dust suppressants. Changes in runoff …

Striking a balance between water for food, energy, and the environment: a quantitative framework to guide sustainable water management for a changing future
… research has provided insights into either the impacts humans have on hydrology or, conversely, hydrological variability on human society, the dynamic nature of these interactions is still not well understood. This dissertation develops and applies a framework for considering and analyzing the …

A Reconstruction of Post-Glacial Hydroclimatic Change and Mass Accumulation Rates from a Small Watershed of the Lower North American Great Lakes Region
… form of droughts and floods, which have adverse impacts on society. Regional watersheds experience these hydrologic impacts through changes in the quantity and quality of water resources as well as geomorphic changes that modify the stability of the landscape. Records of past environmental change …

Analysis of uncertainty in hydrometeorological ensemble forecasts
… in California to create an 11-member hydrologic forecast ensemble. To evaluate the performance of these ensemble forecasts, we chose to study streamflow sites within Sonoma County, California, a rain-dominated region which includes the Russian, Navarro, and Napa Valley River basins. …

Multi-scale features of atmospheric rivers and the linkages with local-scale hydrological impacts on the U.S. West Coast
… atmosphere, are an important component of the hydrologic cycle and are characterized by a multi-scale nature. On the one hand, ARs are embedded in the planetary-scale Rossby waves and account for the majority of poleward moisture transport in the midlatitudes. On the other hand, ARs are the …

Impacts of Land Use and Climate Changes on Hydrological Processes in South Dakota Watersheds
<p>This study aims to evaluate the impacts of climate and land use change on the hydrology of South Dakota’s watersheds using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The study analyzed the hydrologic impacts of climate and land use changes in two ways. The first aspect consists of characterizing …
