Forecasts of the likelihood of occurrence of various
amounts of precipitation are very important, since
excessive precipitation amounts over relatively short time
periods can have adverse effects on public safety and
economic efficiency, As a result, forecasters at the
National Weather Service Forecast Office in San Antonio,
Texas were asked...

This report examines environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers the...
Exposure assessment is necessary to determine the frequency and magnitude of environmental contaminants, especially since exposure may lead to adverse health outcomes. Traditional personal exposure assessment tools such as biological samples are limited in their ability to capture a wide range of chemical exposures from a single sample, and others...
Using wave and wind data from nearby buoys and gauges, real time
kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and light detection and ranging
(lidar) topographic survey data, and a robust video record, we have quantified the
Large Scale Coastal Behavior (LSCB) of a dissipative end member beach in the
Pacific Northwest....
