A Comparison of Four Methods to Estimate Groundwater Recharge for Northeastern South Dakota
… find a selection of methods best suited based on climate classification. The soil water balance method and the well level data method appeared to be more efficient for the study area where the climate is sub humid continental. On the other hand, the Chaturvedi formula and Meyboom method are more …

Evaluation and validation of multiple predictive models applied to post-wildfire debris-flow hazards
… predictive models on a training dataset. Classification performance metrics were used to compare predictive success between different models on both a training and test dataset. In addition, model performance was evaluated on a regional scale based on the Köppen climate classification. …

The Hydroclimatic Characteristics of Nacogdoches, Texas with Implications for Water Resources Management
… (1986) study and statistical analysis of the climate at Nacogdoches, Texas covering 1901 to 1980 is updated to include the most recent twelve years (1981-92) of records. Missing data are estimated, all analyses are repeated, and the new 1961-90 normal climate is compared to the 1951-80 and …

Computational Analysis and Network-based Modeling of Cross-Species Transmissions
… transmission (CST) risks are accelerated by climate change, which alters animal habitats and aggregates new combinations of host species at high population density and elevations. Modeling CST dynamics is essential in ecology and computational epidemiology to enhance preparedness and …

Assessment of Future Impact of Climate Change on Structural Protections and Hydrological Extremes – Floods
The certainty of flood protection in the face of climate change is linked to the likelihood that a system will function reliably under various future flood scenarios. It is increasingly crucial to comprehend and forecast the frequency and intensity of random hydrological factors for efficient flood …

CHANGES OF CLIMATE ZONES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY
Climate change is driving biodiversity redistribution on Earth, undermining the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in conserving global biodiversity. Managing the consequences of biodiversity redistribution and promoting effective conservation necessitates a better understanding of climate …

Variability in spring snowpack and winter atmospheric circulation pattern frequencies in the Peace River Basin
… for the years 1960-1992, therefore other climate variables were used as a surrogate for snowpack to extend the analysis for the full 46-year period. Changes in snowpack are important because the occurrence of ice-jam floods in the Peace-Athabasca Delta is known to be at least partly …

Extreme events over the contiguous United States portrayed in a CESM-WRF dynamical downscaling framework
… simulation. In the projected simulation, all climate zones exhibit consistent increases in PR and TMAX extremes, and a decrease in TMIN extremes, both in the frequency and intensity. Northern zones such as Dfa and Dfb exhibit more changes of extremes in the projected simulation compared to …
