43rd annual AGU hydrology days
Includes the schedule and presentation abstracts only. The 43rd Annual American Geophysical Union Hydrology Days meeting held on March 21-22, 2023 provides a unique opportunity for students, faculty, staff and practitioners ... -
Compound strip method for the analysis of continuous elastic plates
A finite strip method (FSM) is developed for the analysis of Iinear elastic flat plate systems which are continuous over deflecting supports. The approach presented incorporates the effect of the support elements in a ... -
Nondestructive evaluation of wood properties by stress wave spectral analysis
The influence of selected properties on the propagation of stress waves in wood was investigated. Waveform analysis of the stress waves was performed using spectral analysis techhniques developed for stationary random ... -
Managing developing landscapes for stormwater, water yield, and ecosystem services with data-driven approaches
To view the abstract, please see the full text of the document. -
Improvements in GRACE-based terrestrial water storage anomalies for groundwater depletion and ecohydrological analyses
To view the abstract, please see the full text of the document. -
Physical-socio-economic systems integration for community resilience-informed decision-making and policy selection
Natural hazards are damaging communities with cascading catastrophic economic and social consequences at an increasing rate due to climate change and land use policies. Comprehensive community resilience assessment and ... -
Quantifying future water resources availability and agricultural productivity in agro-urban river basins
Climate change can have an adverse effect on agricultural productivity and water availability in semi-arid regions, as decreases in surface water availability can lead to groundwater depletion and resultant losses in crop ... -
Development and characterization of solid-state, internet of things-based pH sensors for in-situ monitoring of soil and groundwater
Herein I test and examine a new solid state pH sensor design for use in soils and groundwater monitoring. The concept presented here is intended to expand the capabilities for monitoring geochemical parameters in the ... -
Development of improved redundancy measure for the Colorado State Highway System
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has been working to improve the resiliency of its transportation system and facilities. A vital attribute of a resilient transportation system is whether or not the system ... -
Understanding meteorological impacts on ambient PM2.5 concentrations using random forest models in Beijing
Policymakers and non-governmental organizations have been implementing policies and interventions designed to reduce exposure to hazardous air pollution. Having knowledge of how non-policy related factors (i.e., meteorology) ... -
Modeling of velocity distributions inside and above tall crops
Velocity distributions inside and above a model crop were investigated. The model crop consisted of flexible plastic strips fastened to the floor of a low speed wind tunnel. The experimental results indicated that at some ... -
Layered beam vibrations including slip
This study presents a theory for vibrations of layered beams with the effects of interlayer slip included. The theory is developed using Bernoulli-Euler assumptions with additional developments to account for the interlayer ... -
Hydraulic head loss at the interface between uniform sands of different sizes
The hydraulic head loss for flow occurring at an interface between sands or gravels of different sizes was studied by experiment. Dimensional analysis was used In formulating the experiments and in analyzing the data which ... -
Run-off forecasts: 1954 water supply in the West
Surveys of Western snowpack show meager supply in Southwest, virtual drought in New Mexico and Colorado, good margin in Northwest, reservoir storage generally above past 10-year average at start of spring run-off, except ... -
A new method for predicting transient states of salinity intrusion into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
The mechanism by which the tidal changes propagate salinity into the Delta channels and the manner in which this propagation is opposed by the fresh water stream flows are expressed in mathematical form. Solutions of the ... -
Electrokinetic-potential fluctuations generated by jet impingement
Electrokinetic-potential fluctuations produced by a two-dimensional submerged water jet impinging on a plate have been measured. The potential fluctuations appear to be approximately proportional to the longitudinal-velocity ... -
On tides in estuaries and around small islands
Tides in estuaries and around small is lands are studied in this paper. Under the assumption that the width and the mean depth of the estuary can be adequately expressed as power functions of the longitudinal distance from ...
