Coastal, estuarine, fluvial and submarine morphodynamics encompass some of the leading processes shaping our planet. They stem mainly, but not only, from the interaction of water in motion and movable sediment boundaries, resulting in morphological changes produced by erosion, t…
"Aspects of the biogeochemistry of estuaries from a variety of environments, from the topics to the Arctic, are discussed. In most cases the courses of these rivers have been altered by dams or diversions; the results of these changes on the nature of the estuary are also discus…
The eastern basin acid mine drainage treatment plant was launched in February 2017. The short-term treatment (STT) of acid mine drainage (AMD) involves a high-density sludge management system and the purpose of the treatment is to discharge improved (neutralised) quality of wate…
Natural climatic variability, changing climatic conditions, periodic droughts, andexcessive moisture events impact agriculture, industry, municipalities, and surface waterresource management throughout the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Persistent, large-areadroughts are some of th…
This floristic inventory is focused on the upper portion of the Sespe Creek watershed in northern Ventura County, California. Sespe Creek is a Wild and Scenic River in the Los Padres National Forest (LPNF). The Sespe Creek has substantial intact riparian habitats and high levels…
This dissertation examines the regional and seasonal variability of extreme precipitation and atmospheric rivers (ARs) across the contiguous United States (CONUS) in past, present, and future climates. An extreme precipitation categorization scheme, designed to monitor and track…
Across the Southeastern United States (SEUS) growing populations are increasing demand on water resources and infrastructure. Understanding the long-term natural flow regime of rivers is critical to developing accurate models of water level variability needed for appropriate wat…
The aim of this thesis is to show the impact that Black and African culture has on the entertainment industry specifically in the USA. The first portion of the discussion retraces Black and African cultural influences in the 1920’s, beginning with Black-owned newspapers, then on…
