Relationship between Land Use and Surface Water Quality in a Rapidly Developing Watershed in Southeast Louisiana
The Tangipahoa River and Natalbany River watersheds (Tangipahoa Parish/County) in the Lake Pontchartrain Basin (southeastern Louisiana) are experiencing rapid urbanization, particularly in the wake of the 2005 hurricane season. To document the impact of land use on water quality, thirty sites were …

Effects of forest harvesting best management practices on surface water quality in the Virginia coastal plain
Three watersheds located in Westmoreland County, Virginia were monitored to evaluate effectiveness of forestry best management practices (BMPs) for minimizing hydrologic and water quality impacts associated with timber harvesting. One watershed was clear-cut without implementation of BMPs, one …

The Development and Deployment of Sensors and Algorithms for the Mobile Monitoring of Urban Surface Water Quality
Although water quality extensively improved over the last decade, recreational uses of the canal network in Amsterdam are limited by variations in water quality associated with stormwater runoff and episodic harmful algal blooms. The current systems for monitoring water quality are based …

Spatiotemporal Patterns and Drivers of Surface Water Quality and Landscape Change in a Semi-Arid, Southern African Savanna
… Savannas occupy a fifth of the earth's land surface, yet despite their ecological and economic significance, understanding of the complex couplings and feedbacks that drive spatiotemporal patterns of change are lacking. In Chapter 1 of my dissertation, I discuss some of the different …
