People living in urban areas face environmental challenges resulting from the ever-increasing amount of impervious surfaces, which in turn increase the volume of stormwater runoff. Stormwater flow from impervious surfaces can lead to...
Differential Impacts of Commodification of Agriculture on People's Livelihoods and the Environment in the Western Ghats of India: An Extended Environmental Entitlement Analysis
This study analyzed the differential impacts of commodification of agriculture on people's livelihoods and the environment in the Western Ghats of India. This study was conducted in Kodagu region of Western Ghats: a major coffee growing...
This study involves evaluation of a hydrological approach for the delineation of jurisdictional wetlands and the planning and monitoring of wetland restoration. The proposed process uses short-term groundwater observations for the...
A combination of field work, modeling, and remote sensing was used to determine mass balances for the Quelccaya Ice Cap in Peru and for parts of the Greenland Ice Sheet. A 40-year history of deglaciation on Quelccaya derived from...
This dissertation starts by evaluating the applicability of using a commercially available, cost-effective, sidescan sonar system to detect benthic habitats, in particular hardbottom habitats, in the nearshore northeastern Gulf of Mexico...
This study examines patterns of cloud-to-ground flash enhancement and precipitation for the greater Atlanta, Georgia region. Previous research documented greater annual average flash densities (6 to 8 km-2/yr), and more flash days...
Recent shifts in the hydrologic regime of the Apalachicola River have been attributed to anthropogenic changes in the watershed, particularly those associated with dam and reservoir construction. To assess the impact of these changes on...
Urban growth or sprawl has been an interesting research topic for contemporary urban studies. The availability of remote sensing and GIS techniques facilitate a large number of empirical and practical studies in addition to traditional...
Mangroves are coastal halophytes that tend to inhabit the low energy, tropical and sub-tropical coasts of the world. The mangrove habitats that occupy large swaths of the south Florida coastline are important habitats for a myriad of...
Coral reefs have been increasingly reported as ecosystems in severe "crisis" and decline, with estimates of irreparably damaged reefs to be around 54%, and possible losses of 15-20% more over the next half-century. The urgency to...
The montane cloud forests of northeastern Mexico have a high concentration of endemism, and are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, deforestation, and habitat fragmentation. Ninety percent of the original montane cloud forest in...
When time geography was first proposed in the 1970s, it was considered quite innovative and on the frontiers of commonly practiced methods of geographic research. Some thirty years later it seems that time geography remains on the...
