GPS Imaging of Vertical Land Motion and Earthquake Coseismic Displacements in the GPS Mega-Network
… a number of geophysical signals related to vertical land motion and earthquake deformation. Two studies examine vertical land motion trends in regions of the United States and try to pinpoint the underlying geological sources for their signals. In the first study, GPS Imaging is used to …

The evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum to present-day: An assessment using glaciological and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment modelling
… three-dimensional thermomechanical model of Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) evolution from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka BP) to the present-day using, primarily, observations of relative sea level (RSL) as well as field data on past ice extent. The new model (Huy2) fits a majority of the …

Big Remote Sensing Data and Machine Learning for Assessing 21st Century Flooding and Socioeconomic Exposures
… of sea-level rise lack an accurate estimate of vertical land motion and pose a significant challenge to flood risk management plans. In this dissertation, I explore an extensive archive of available remotely sensed space-borne. synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR measurements …

Remote Sensing of 21st Century Water Stress for Hazard Monitoring in California
… of the aquifer system and subsidence of the land surface. Water mass loss also causes elastic deformation of the solid Earth, an opposite and smaller amplitude response than the poroelastic deformation of aquifer systems. These mass changes can disturb the regional stress field, which may …

Observing Drought-Induced Crustal Loading Deformation Around Lake Mead Region via GNSS and InSAR: A Comparison With Elastic Loading Models
… this process from the ground by recording the vertical land motion occurring at Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations, or from space via Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology. In this study, I analyze vertical deformation observations from GNSS sites and …

Earth Observation Data-Driven Assessment of Local to Regional, Contemporary, and Emerging Coastal Environmental Security Challenges
… as sea level rise, storm surges, hurricanes, land subsidence, and population growth. The coastal U.S. is highly vulnerable to many of these climate and human-induced stressors. Over the past three decades, sea levels have risen by about 0.1 m along the U.S. coasts, with an additional projected …
