Creator:: McGinnis, Thomas L.
Abstract:: Infiltration of highly concentrated solutions into unsaturated sand is suspected to be affected by the liquid-gas interfacial tension between the resident water and that of the infiltrating solution. The wetting of non-porous solid surfaces by liquids is commonly quantified by contact angle measurements. However, it is well known that wettability...

Creator:: Viducich, Jonathan M. G.
Abstract:: Rainfall scarcity and variability present serious challenges to water security for many rural communities throughout the world's drylands. Sand dams--weirs built across ephemeral or seasonal rivers--provide an appropriate water harvesting and storage option for many regions. The structures quickly fill with sediment during rainy season flow events and store water...

Creator:: Ellingson, Joseph M.
Abstract:: Sand dams – low-head dams built in ephemeral streambeds that store water within saturated sediments – are a proven means to increase water supplies for rural communities in arid and semiarid regions. Water percolates into the reservoir-impounded sediments during wet season rains and can subsequently be extracted during the dry...

Full Text:: underperform or fail, some of them conflicting and difficult to interpret. Erik Nissen-Petersen estimates

Creator:: Tai, Leah Chung-Mei
Abstract:: Linkages between land use and its influence on the atmosphere have been a long-standing research area. For example, what is the impact of irrigated agriculture on downwind rainfall? Global-scale models show that moisture recycling is an important source of water for inland regions around the world, but they do not...

Creator:: Haagsma, Marja
Abstract:: Finding trees and crops that are resistant to pathogens is key in preparing for current and future disease threats. In this dissertation, we analyzed the potential of using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to find infection while identifying issues and strategies addressing differences over time, in spatial resolution, the application of machine...
