Processing 3D Models of Large Instream Wood for Hydraulics Applications – Structure- from-Motion Workflow Documentation

Creator:: Tutka, Michał
Abstract:: Estimating how large instream wood (LW) may impact local hydraulics is critical both for mitigating flood hazards and for ensuring intended habitat benefits of the LW are produced. In practice, the design of forms such as LW is limited by a lack of mechanistic tools for estimating how LW features...

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...

Modeling the Influence of Wildfire Management Networks in Social-Ecological Systems

Creator:: Avila, Colton C.
Abstract:: Wildfire management networks allow for collaborative intervention in mitigating the ever-present risk of major wildfire events. This thesis consists of two manuscripts that explore the topology and characteristics of wildfire management networks and their ability to influence wildfire severity in social-ecological systems. The first manuscript focuses on the characteristics of...

Development of a Statistical Emulator of US Crop Yields via a Deep Neural Network Approach

Creator:: Proctor, Kyle W.
Abstract:: Agricultural systems are inherently complex; understanding these systems requires knowledge of climatology, plant physiology, soil physics, economics, and the human psychology of the farmers themselves. Decision support tools strive to leverage existing data to help guide stakeholders towards the best policies and practices for their situation. Quantitative crop simulation models...

Opening Pandora’s Box: Machine learning applications for chemical forensics and non-target chemical analyses

Creator:: Davila-Santiago, Emmanuel
Abstract:: Water bodies act as chemical data loggers that contain tens of thousands of molecules that represent the sum of the biological, chemical, and physical processes occurring within a watershed. We hypothesize that unique chemical signatures present within a water sample can be informative of upstream processes. By extracting non-polar organic...

Measuring Tomato Production and Water Productivity in Agrivoltaic Systems

Creator:: Al-agele, Hadi A.
Abstract:: Growing populations and industrialization rates across the world are leading to increased food and energy demand. The challenge of meeting this demand while also mitigating climate change impacts serves as a driving force for the development of renewable energies technologies. This study focuses on the role of Agrivoltaic systems in...

Microbial Electrolysis Cells for the Production of Hydrogen Gas : Evaluation of Internal Resistance and Design for Scale-Up

Creator:: Miller, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Modification of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) by altering the sizes of the anode and the cathode, or their interaction with the liquid stream affects the performance of the MEC, but it remains difficult to quantify how much each change will contribute to the overall performance. Through this study, a method...

Life Cycle Assessments for Wastewater Treatment and the Feasibility Study of Microbial Fuel Cell Technology

Creator:: Chien, Ku-Huan
Abstract:: The thesis documents research about combining the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program with the Impact 2002+ methodology to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for wastewater treatment processes. The LCA for the operational phase of a local wastewater treatment plant was performed and the environmental impacts caused...

Evaluating the Sustainability of an Advanced Biofuel Using Attributional and Consequential Life Cycle Assessments

Creator:: McDaniel, Allexander M.
Abstract:: Attributional and consequential life cycle assessments are useful in evaluating the environmental impacts of a process, product, or decision. Both types of life cycle assessments differ however in their scope and their ability to answer specific questions. In order to fully understand and compare the environmental impacts of a sugarcane...

OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

Creator:: Wingo, Patrick C.
Abstract:: The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...
