  • Blowout and spill occurrence model

    Creator:
    Sim, Lawrence H.
    Abstract:
    To assist with risk-assessment with deepwater and ultra-deepwater prospects for offshore energy extraction as well as provide a useful tool for oil spill response, a spatially-explicit model was developed for comprehensive simulations of a blowout event from the wellhead to final fate and degradation. The Blowout and Spill Occurrence Model...

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of illuminated and shadowed contour lines

    Creator:
    Eynard, James D.
    Abstract:
    Illuminated contour lines, where line width and color are varied based on an angle of illumination, date back to the mid-nineteenth century, but their effectiveness compared to conventional contour lines has not been fully examined. Currently, illuminated contour lines are not widely used in computer-based cartography because they are not...

  • Developing a plan for the national coordination of geospatial technology education : a community college perspective

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Deidre E.
    Abstract:
    Geospatial technology is a rapidly growing and changing field. The term geospatial technology (GST) refers to geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS), all emerging technologies that assist the user in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data. The speed at which new fields...

  • Lava Flow Lobation and Margin Analysis

    Creator:
    Peckyno, Robert S.
    Abstract:
    Comparative investigations based on volcanic morphology suffer from the lack of a large terrestrial baseline for comparison. To fill this gap, the Lava Flow Morphology Database (LAMDA) was proposed as a GIS based central clearinghouse for remote and field investigations of volcanic morphology. This study presents an analysis of LAMDA’S...

  • Analyzing the present and future Pacific-North American teleconnection using global and regional climate models

    Creator:
    Allan, Andrea M.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I present the results of a comprehensive assessment of the Pacific-North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern in general circulation models (GCMs) and a regional climate model (RCM). The PNA teleconnection pattern is a quasi-stationary wave field over the North Pacific and North America that has long been recognized...
