A Field-Based Study Of Dust Emissivity In The Northern Chihuahuan Desert, U.S.: Testing The Preferential Dust Source Scheme, Gwenn L Harsha

Dissertations and Theses

We characterized spatiotemporal dust emissivity in the Northern Chihuahuan Desert (New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, U.S.) using the Portable In-Situ Wind Erosion Lab (PI-SWERL) and measurements of soil crust strength, soil texture and soil moisture. Field-based measurements of emissivity were compared to the results of the Preferential Dust Source (PDS) scheme (Bullard et al., 2011) in the Chihuahuan Desert (Baddock et al., 2011) where 48% of satellite-observed plumes were sourced from ephemeral and dry lakes. Six landforms were tested: 1) ephemeral and 2) dry lake, 3) high and 4) low relief alluvial, and aeolian 5) sand sheet and 6) dunes. …

Petrophysics Characterization With Multiple Sample Scales Of Cuttings, Cores And Well Logs For Different Rock Types, Ogochukwu Azike

Petrophysics Characterization with Multiple Sample Scales of Cuttings, Cores and Well Logs for Different Rock Types

Laboratory-based experimental evaluations and nuclear magnetic resonance log data interpretation of carbonates, sandstones and shale rocks enable multi-scale petrophysical parameters characterization for integrated studies that can be applied in both the industry and academia. Numerous studies have been published on pore geometry and connectivity, as well as the diffusivity, migration, and containment of a fluid (oil/gas/water) in different reservoir types. However, despite the importance of diffusion and imbibition as a transport mechanism especially in unconventional resources, the direct measurements of these parameters have been …

Geodatabase And Automation Code Used For Past And Real-Time Dynamic Landslide Hazard Maps In Eastern Kentucky, Nathaniel O'Leary, L. Sebastian Bryson, Jason M. Dortch

Earth and Environmental Sciences Research Data

We developed spatiotemporal landslide hazard maps (LHMs) using soil, hydrologic, and geomorphic parameters from the subaerial infinite slope factor of safety (FS) equation under unsaturated conditions. Soil properties were sourced from the NRCS WSS, while geomorphic variables were derived from a 1.5 m LiDAR-based DEM and ArcGIS Online. Soil moisture from Hydrus-1D, driven by precipitation and evapotranspiration (ET) data from Irrigation Manager, introduced temporal variability. Validation against known landslide sites demonstrated FS accuracy both spatially and temporally, despite some false positives. To reduce false positives and enhance slope stability representation, novel depth-to-bedrock (DTB) and soil root cohesion maps were incorporated …
