Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) theories have been long developed to link the observed SNe to their physical properties. Despite past endeavors, CCSN research is still an active field owing to data coming from wide-field surveys and advancements in the computational power that …

Arsenic (As) is a poison historically used to great effect before modern detection methods rendered it obsolete. However, the largest mass poisoning in human history occurred due to groundwater in the Bengal Basin contaminated by natural sources of As. Since that time, research …
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) at a continental scale is one of the least constrained components of the hydrologic cycle and may represent a significant flux of iron and silica waters to the global ocean. Quantifying SGD along the Antarctic margin is complicated by comple…
Many forested catchments in northern Pakistan have undergone land cover change during the last few decades. Extreme floods and extended droughts observed in these areas have lead to the question: How do human influences affect the water balance of a montane catchment. The underl…
The project aims to assess the usefulness of TEM in hydrogeological investigations by conducting surveys in two different environments where Schlumberger soundings and borehole logs were also available. One was in Cyprus where two aquifers are separated by a thin, clayey confini…
Movement and dispersal of migratory fish species is an important life history characteristic that can be impeded by navigation dams. Although habitat fragmentation may be detrimental to native fish species, it can act as an effective and economical barrier for controlling the sp…
The floodplain wetlands of the Hadejia-Jama'are Basin, Northern Nigeria are a valuable economic and environmental resource and similar hydrologically to the Inner Niger Delta and the Senegal Valley. Seasonal inundation is the key. Drought and large-scale water resource schemes u…
This study aims to develop models predicting the depth, extent and volume of flooding in the Hadejia-Nguru wetlands of Nigeria from satellite sensor images. In subregions representative of the entire wetlands over 1,500 rigorously coordinated and geocoded depths were observed, s…
Four new hydroecological methodologies were developed to improve understanding of tree-water interactions across the natural and built environment in Wisconsin in the contexts of climate change and land use practices. The first method identified, monitored, and evaluated tree sw…
Carbonates constitute Earth's largest carbon (C) reservoir, with most shallow marine deposition occurring on the low-latitude carbonate platforms covering ~800,000 km2. The Yucatán Platform situated between the Western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico basins, is one of the largest p…
Regional climate change impact assessments require location-specific information. To be considered useful to decision-makers and stakeholders, information within impact assessments must have sufficient resolution, robust uncertainty characterization, and fit the application’s de…
The American Southwest is one of the most rapidly growing regions of the United States, as are similar arid regions globally. Across these landscapes where surface water is intermittent and variable, groundwater aquifers recharged by surface waters become a keystone resource for…
Human-caused changes in water use, emissions, and land cover have increasingly impacted the natural and built environments. As a result, the natural hydrologic cycle has been disrupted, causing changes in the quantity and quality of water, extreme events (i.e., droughts and floo…
Growing food demand has been the primary cause of increasingly unsustainable water consumption in the world’s breadbasket regions. This unsustainable demand can have steep human and environmental consequences, leading to physical and economic hardship among vulnerable communitie…
The seasonal tree-ring chronologies that recorded discrete moisture signal for warm and cool season have been used to reconstruct the North America Seasonal Precipitation Atlas (NASPA) by the point-by-point regression method, and the results indicated that they can fairly reprod…
Continuous, near-real time predictions of winter flooding are critical to balancing the protection of life and property with providing water resources for consumptive use in California’s northern Sierra Nevada. Rain-on-snow (ROS) events are a major cause of floods in the region …
Here we present a numerical modeling effort to estimate historical groundwater concentrations of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) resulting from releases of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) near Colorado Springs, …
The goals of this study are to refine water budget estimates and determine safe aquifer yield for the Salt Basin, located in south central New Mexico and west Texas. A secondary goal is to determine if a hypothetical well field on the New Mexico side of the basin can produce bet…
Hydropower dams have received increased global attention due to their detrimental socioenvironmental ramifications, resulting in increased concerns as to whether their energy benefits can outweigh the detrimental consequences. To fulfill rising energy demands driven by rapid pop…
