An Optimal Calibration Procedure For A Telemac-2d Model Of The Eastern Coast Of Ireland, Garrett Keane, Andrew Stokes, Zeinab Bedri, John O'Sullivan Oct 2014

An Optimal Calibration Procedure For A Telemac-2d Model Of The Eastern Coast Of Ireland, Garrett Keane, Andrew Stokes, Zeinab Bedri, John O'Sullivan

Conference papers

A review of the literature shows that most model calibrations involve the adjustment of the bottom friction coefficient to minimise the error between predicted and measured tidal elevations. In this study, an alternative procedure is adopted when calibrating a Telemac2D model covering an area on the Eastern coast of Ireland. The model is forced with eight principal tidal constituents derived from the MIKE 21 global model. It is calibrated separately for the two principal constituents, M2 and S2. The field data comprises tidal elevations recorded at five locations over a full lunar cycle in October 1998 and Spring and Neap …


Women And Gender: Useful Categories Of Analysis In Environmental History, Nancy Unger Oct 2014

Women And Gender: Useful Categories Of Analysis In Environmental History, Nancy Unger

History

In 1990, Carolyn Merchant proposed, in a roundtable discussion published in The Journal of American History, that gender perspective be added to the conceptual frameworks in environmental history. 1 Her proposal was expanded by Melissa Leach and Cathy Green in the British journal Environment and History in 1997. 2 The ongoing need for broader and more thoughtful and analytic investigations into the powerful relationship between gender and the environment throughout history was confirmed in 2001 by Richard White and Vera Norwood in "Environmental History, Retrospect and Prospect," a forum in the Pacific Historical Review. Both Norwood, in her provocative contribution …

Ecohydrology Of A Floodplain Forest: Relationships Between Evapotranspiration, Vegetation, And Topography At Congaree National Park, South Carolina, Lauren H.-R. Senn, Tim Callahan, David Shelley, Joel Gramling, Courtney Murren Oct 2014

Ecohydrology Of A Floodplain Forest: Relationships Between Evapotranspiration, Vegetation, And Topography At Congaree National Park, South Carolina, Lauren H.-R. Senn, Tim Callahan, David Shelley, Joel Gramling, Courtney Murren

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Congaree National Park supports high biodiversity and provides ecosystem services for the surrounding area in the floodplain wetland system, especially in the bottomland hardwood forests which contain some of the last remaining old-growth stands in the eastern U.S. Maintaining the hydraulic functions of this ecosystem is essential not only for the conservation of biodiversity, but also for the ecosystem services it provides, such as nitrification, denitrification, decomposition, removal of organic carbon, and phosphorous uptake and sorption. Because management practices of the park depend on understanding the area‟s hydrology, past research has been performed to analyze the flooding of Congaree River. …

Dynamic Changes In Phytoplankton Community Structure After Thermal Shock And Chlorination In A Subtropical Bay: An Experimental Study, Zhi-Bing Jiang, Yi-Bo Liao, Jing-Jing Liu, Quan-Zhen Chen, Jiang-Ning Zeng, Gen-Hai Zhu Oct 2014

Dynamic Changes In Phytoplankton Community Structure After Thermal Shock And Chlorination In A Subtropical Bay: An Experimental Study, Zhi-Bing Jiang, Yi-Bo Liao, Jing-Jing Liu, Quan-Zhen Chen, Jiang-Ning Zeng, Gen-Hai Zhu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Natural phytoplankton collected from the Yueqing Bay was exposed to a series of heat shock temperatures and chlorine dosages in a laboratory for simulating its passage through coastal power plant cooling systems. A short-term thermal shock (30 min) had no appreciable effect on the microalgae community for temperature elevation of 4-12°C in all seasons. However, the adverse effects of chlorination on the microalgae were considerably more severe than those of a thermal shock in terms of dominant succession, species richness, diversity, evenness, and community composition. Moreover, chlorination strongly influenced the diversity indices throughout a 15-d culture period, indicating an evident …

Orians, Timothy S. Griffin, Corene Matyas, Albert Robbat, Sean Cash, Dayuan Xue, Chunlin Long, Uchenna Unachukwu, Sarabeth Buckley, Edward J. Kennelly

Publications and Research

Climate change is impacting agro-ecosystems, crops, and farmer livelihoods in communities worldwide. While it is well understood that more frequent and intense climate events in many areas are resulting in a decline in crop yields, the impact on crop quality is less acknowledged, yet it is critical for food systems that benefit both farmers and consumers through high-quality products. This study examines tea (Camellia sinensis; Theaceae), the world’s most widely consumed beverage after water, as a study system to measure effects of seasonal precipitation variability on crop functional quality and associated farmer knowledge, preferences, and livelihoods. Sampling was conducted in …

Volume Loss From Lower Peyto Glacier, Alberta, Canada, Between 1966 And 2010, Laura M. Kehrl, Robert L. Hawley, Erich C. Osterberg, Dominic A. Winski, Dominic A. Winski, Alexander P. Lee Oct 2014

Volume Loss From Lower Peyto Glacier, Alberta, Canada, Between 1966 And 2010, Laura M. Kehrl, Robert L. Hawley, Erich C. Osterberg, Dominic A. Winski, Dominic A. Winski, Alexander P. Lee

Dartmouth Scholarship

Mass loss from mountain glaciers contributes to sea-level rise and reduces freshwater availability in glacier-fed river basins, with negative effects on hydropower generation, agriculture and the health of aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we determine the volume of lower Peyto Glacier, Alberta, Canada, from ground-penetrating radar surveys in 2008–10, and compare our volume estimate with previous estimates from 1966 and 1984. The long-term record of mass-balance estimates on Peyto Glacier highlights Peyto’s importance as an ‘index’ glacier for the region. We calculate a mean volume of (3.39 0.30) 10m for the glacier snout for the period 2008–10. Glacier volume decreased …
