Changes in climate, land-use, and land cover alter estuarine nutrient loads, particularly in systems with strong land-sea connectivity. Process-based water quality models are commonly used to assess how upstream changes in hydrology and land management influence downstream estua…

This research explored ways in which urban green space is valued among residents of the ethnically diverse neighborhoods of southeast Nashville, with emphasis on examining the ways in which these values influence motivation to engage with community and environmentally focused op…
Global climate is predicted to have significant impacts on the chemical, biological, and physical characteristics of wetlands and the watersheds in which they are contained. In particular, climate prediction models suggest a significant increase in extreme precipitation events -…
Baseflow is the portion of streamflow that comes from groundwater and other delayed sources. Although baseflow is essential for sustaining streams during low flow and drought periods, we have little information about if it has changed across the U.S. Midwest. The region represen…
Accurate projections of flooding are critical to climate change adaptation, as floods are a devastating and costly natural disaster sensitive to climate. Floods occur mainly in response to extreme precipitation, and the northeastern United States has experienced a dramatic incre…
The thesis research on flower production, power relations and water use in Ecuador aims at gaining comprehension about the situation of irrigation development, particularly about the competition and conflicts regarding the highly unequal access to water, rights of water control,…
Fresh water or wai was an integral aspect of ancient Hawaiian culture. For thousands of years, water was collected, stored, and directed throughout the land from the mountains to the ocean through a sequence of rivers, lakes, or streams. Today, the Board of Water Supply (BWS) se…
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…
The objectives of this research are to better understand: (1) how Arctic watersheds respond in terms of hydrological processes to deepening active layers, (2) what the short and long-term changes are to surface water chemistry in watersheds impacted by thermal and physical perma…
The UN has designated 2021-2030 the decade of restoration, reflecting a global recognition that our planet is changing so rapidly that conservation alone is not enough, and we must restore some of the ecosystems we have lost. Ecosystems, however, are extremely complex and thus f…
Earth observation data is increasingly ubiquitous, easily accessible, freely available, and generally usable due to improvements in software, data standards, network infrastructure, and national policies. As a result, greater opportunities arise for using these data in a wider f…
