  • Traffic and greenhouse gas modeling in future land use development scenarios of Skagit County

    Creator:
    Mooney, Abraham A.
    Abstract:
    Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are on the forefront of planning policy in the world today. In the U.S., the transportation sector accounts for 50 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most of any single sector. State and local levels of government have been very proactive in the...

  • 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...

  • Understanding Aquifer Water Retention Dynamics Using Groundwater Head Relaxation Time

    Creator:
    Jimmie, Jordan A.
    Abstract:
    Diking and channelizing in the Toppenish Creek basin, associated with irrigated agricultural development, has altered its natural ecosystem function and hydraulic processes. We seek to answer two research questions: if surface waters are diverted for aquifer recharge in the winter, will this water be available for ecosystem function in the...

  • Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

    Creator:
    Metta, John W. P.
    Abstract:
    Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...

  • Leveraging the Food-Energy-Water Nexus for Planet Resilience

    Creator:
    Steadman, Casey L.
    Abstract:
    We have sufficient evidence that our historical management of natural resources is not sustainable. Food production is stagnating or declining. Nonrenewable energy sources on which the energy sector has historically depended are being rapidly depleted. Water resources, for which the energy and food sectors compete, are being depleted and impaired....
