Monitoring Streamflow Response to Effects of Climate Change in the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound Region of Southcentral Alaska

Creator:: Anderson, Dean J.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the challenges of monitoring stream hydrology in a warmer and wetter climate in the Kenai Peninsula (KP) and Prince William Sound (PWS) region of Southcentral Alaska, located on the traditional territories of the Dena’ina, Ahtna, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, and Eyak People. The physical and climatological extremes of this region...

Forest Succession and Climate Change Effects on Long-Term Runoff Coefficients at Varying Timescales

Creator:: Crampe, Emily A.
Abstract:: Forest harvesting and climate change induced shifts in precipitation characteristics (i.e., intensity, type) may affect how water is partitioned on the landscape, with more water potentially being lost to evaporation or groundwater, and less water being partitioned into the stream. Long-term, paired watershed data allows us to assess these possible...

Characterization of Stormwater Runoff from a County Maintenance Facility and Evaluation of Temporal Performance of Bioswale in Its Treatment

Creator:: Gyawali, Kshitiz
Abstract:: In the last few decades, a lot of studies have been conducted to study about the quality of stormwater runoff from various sites and conditions. Highways, residential areas, and commercial sites are the focus of most of these studies while limited studies have done examination of stormwater from Maintenance and...

The role of bedrock groundwater in rainfall-runoff response at hillslope and catchment scales

Creator:: Gabrielli, Christopher P.
Abstract:: Bedrock groundwater dynamics in headwater catchments are poorly understood and poorly characterized. Direct hydrometric measurements have been limited due to the logistical challenges associated with drilling through hard rock in steep, remote and often roadless terrain. Here we develop and use an inexpensive, portable bedrock drilling system to explore bedrock...

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...

New Techniques to Monitor and Characterize Landslide Behavior and Controls Using Digital Terrain Models

Creator:: Senogles, Andrew
Abstract:: Coastal landslides and erosion are major natural hazards resulting in unstable slopes, constituting immense challenges to modern infrastructure. Developing, maintaining, and performing risk assessments of infrastructure on, or close to, these hazards require a detailed understanding of the geophysical processes destabilizing the slope. These efforts start with the collection of...

Faidherbia albida Water Use and Impacts on Teff Growth in a Sub-humid Environment in Mojo, Ethiopia

Creator:: Krampien, Jeannette T.
Abstract:: Faidherbia albida is a widely used tree species in sub-Saharan Africa, promoted for use in parkland agroforestry systems based on reduced competition with crops during the rainy season from its reverse leafing phenology and positive effect on soil fertility. Increases in growth and yield have been reported for crops such...

Development of a hydrologic model to explore impacts of climate change on water resources in the Big Wood Basin, Idaho

Creator:: Inouye, Allison Marshall
Abstract:: In the Western United States where 50-70% of annual precipitation comes in the form of winter snowfall, water supplies may be particularly sensitive to a warming climate. We worked with a network of stakeholders in the Big Wood Basin, Idaho, to explore how climate change may affect water resources and...

Shallow aquifer storage and recovery (SASR): Regional management of underground water storage in hydraulically connected aquifer-stream systems

Creator:: Neumann, Philip E.
Abstract:: A novel mode of shallow aquifer management could increase the volumetric potential and distribution of underground, freshwater storage: Shallow aquifer storage and recovery (SASR). In this mode, water is efficiently stored in basin fill aquifers with strong hydraulic connection to surface water. Regional numerical modeling can provide a linkage between...

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...
