Drivers of burn severity in the northern Cascade Range, Washington, USA
I examined the influence of annual climate and topographical complexity on the occurrence, size, severity, and within-fire severity pattern of fires in the northern Cascade Range of Washington, USA. Landsat Thematic Mapper (LTM) data were used to quantify fire severity for all fires greater than 10 …

An evaluation of a data-driven approach to regional scale surface runoff modelling
… precipitation, temperature, land cover, and topographic data were used as predictors, and monthly surface runoff generated by the SWAT hydrological model was used as the response. A sub-model was developed for each of 12 monthly surface runoff estimates, independent of one another. Accuracy …

Impacts of channel curvature on drag, mixing, and stratification in estuaries
… salinity, and mixing in estuaries with complex topographic features found in natural systems.

Characterization of the spatial and temporal variability in pan-Arctic, terrestrial hydrology
… accumulation, low to moderate tree cover and low topographic complexity. An evaluation of snow water equivalent (SWE) estimates drawn from land surface models and microwave remote sensing data suggests that simulated SWE from a hydrological model like PWBM, when forced with appropriate climate …

Predation On The Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica On Intertidal Reefs Affected By Recreational Boating
… to be due to a lack of water, shade, and habitat complexity. To document architectural differences, two types of transects were run along five reference reefs and five reefs with dead margins. First, quadrat transects determined the percent of live oysters, the percent of shell clusters, …

Eco-engineering of coastal infrastructure: A design for life
… at multiple spatial scales; (3) comparing how topographic complexity shapes species diversity in both intertidal and subtidal habitats; (4) seeking generality of patterns of eco-engineering interventions across geographic localities; and (5) making the outcomes of eco-engineering research …

Quantitative ecology reveals scale-dependent structural processes of the Antarctic benthos through time
… also cannot be deployed in regions of high topographic complexity. Advances in camera technology, such as towed camera systems, have now allowed for extensive observation in previously under-sampled areas. While photographs are single snapshots in time, ecological inferences can be made of …
