  • Assessing the Impact of Storm Regime on Remotely-sensed Precipitation Extremes Across the Western Himalaya

    Creator:
    Stanton, Alan L.
    Abstract:
    Extreme, flood-producing precipitation events in mountains threaten human life and local and national economies. In the Himalayas, scarce meteorological data historically limited understanding of the underlying processes driving extreme events. However, the capacity to observe, measure and quantify precipitation on regional scales has increased tremendously over the last three decades...

  • Nutrient Transport Conditions in the Ecuadorian Andes

    Creator:
    Bomeisl, Lauren
    Abstract:
    This study examines different fate and transport processes of N and P based on uncultivated grass, contour crop, and livestock management across different topographies (i.e. 5% vs. 30% slope) found within the tropical mountains of volcanic pedogenesis in the Ambato river catchment. The hydrologic, cultural, and agricultural properties of the...

  • Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

    Creator:
    Hosseini, Parnian
    Abstract:
    Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...

  • Africa-Appropriate Urban Stormwater Management: The State of the Art

    Creator:
    Kahsai, Simon K.
    Abstract:
    Urban development causes changes in the hydrology, increasing stormwater runoff volumes, which often leads to flooding and ecosystem degradation. This is a common phenomenon in most urban Africa, due to lack of stormwater drainage infrastructures. Green Infrastructure (GI) has been shown to be an effective approach to lessen the effects...
