Archaeological Predictive Model for the High Plains of Southwestern KansasJoshua Campbell
Summarizes the results of my MA thesis on archaeological predictive modeling. In addition to a summary of the southwest Kansas model, this presentation also contains reference to previous work at Fort Hood, Texas and possible model enhancements.
Earth Science Chap 1 Topographic and geographic mapsmshenry
This document discusses two types of maps - topographic maps and geologic maps. Topographic maps show the shape of the Earth's surface including features like mountains, and use contour lines to indicate elevation above sea level. Geologic maps display the types of rocks and minerals in an area and identify contacts where two different rock formations meet.
Using a soil geomorphic (soil systems) approach can help inform soil health assessments. A soil system is defined as a recurring group of soils occupying a landscape from ridges to streams, characterized by similar parent material, geomorphology, relief, hydrology, climate, and extent. Soil systems provide context for soil properties and assessments by recognizing soils exist in landscapes with predictable variability. Considering the entire soil profile and landscape position provides more useful information for soil health than a single surface sample. A soil systems framework can help interpret soil health assessment results and their relationship to management across scales.
Surface and soil moisture monitoring, estimations, variations, and retrievalsJenkins Macedo
The document discusses several studies related to monitoring surface and groundwater resources using remote sensing techniques.
1) One study compares soil moisture estimations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer E (AMSR-E), ground-based measurements, and the Common Land Model (CLM). It finds that AMSR-E captures drying and wetting patterns but with lower variability than CLM or ground data.
2) Another evaluates global soil moisture from the ERS scatterometer and AMSR-E, finding general agreement except in deserts and dense vegetation due to limitations.
3) A third analyzes terrestrial water storage changes using GRACE satellite data and GLDAS land surface models,
1) The document summarizes an integrated groundwater-surface water modeling study using GSFLOW in a complex 270 km2 watershed located on the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Canada.
2) GSFLOW was used because it is a fully-coupled groundwater-surface water model that can represent the complex hydrologic interactions in the study area. It combines the MODFLOW and PRMS models.
3) The study area contains varied surficial geology, three municipal wellfields, several large quarries, and a reservoir system with complex operations that are important to represent in the model. The model was able to successfully calibrate to groundwater levels and streamflows.
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between soil moisture and vegetation water content in an Oklahoma grassland from 2010-2013. Key findings include:
- Vegetation water content and soil moisture varied between years and were often higher at one site, likely due to drought conditions.
- As soil moisture increased, vegetation water content also increased, with a positive correlation found between the two.
- Variability over time was greater than variability between sites for both vegetation water content and soil moisture.
The document discusses the hydrological cycle and its key components. It explains that the hydrological cycle involves 1) evaporation of water from oceans, rivers and land into the atmosphere, 2) condensation of water vapor into clouds, and 3) precipitation of water in forms such as rain or snow back onto land and oceans. It also notes that the hydrological cycle is a closed system, with the same amount of water constantly being transferred or stored among the various components of the cycle.
Researchers installed environmental sensors near an eddy flux tower to measure variables needed to quantify the water budget of a mixed pine forest over multiple years. This included installing two understory meteorological stations and 28 groundwater wells. Preliminary results showed the stations successfully measured rainfall, soil moisture, evapotranspiration and groundwater levels. The data will help understand differences between longleaf and loblolly pine species and their impacts on the local environment and water availability.

(1) Soil respiration rates and the isotopic signature (δ13CR-s) of soil respiration varied seasonally and between slope positions over a growing season. (2) δ13CR-s was not always at steady-state. (3) Transpiration was found to be the primary driver of both soil respiration rates and δ13CR-s, with peaks in correlation within 0-6 days potentially corresponding to root respiration and microbial breakdown of root exudates.
The document describes a framework called the Lake Landscape Context (LLC) framework that examines how terrestrial landscapes, human activities, and freshwater landscapes impact lake conditions and responses over space and time. The LLC framework aims to help forecast lake sensitivity to changes and inform lake management decisions.
SOIL LOSS ESTIMATION IN GIS FRAMEWORK: A CASE STUDY IN CHAMPABATI WATERSHEDAM Publications
This document describes a study that used the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model within a GIS framework to estimate soil loss in the Champabati watershed in Assam, India. The five input parameters for the RUSLE model - rainfall erosivity (R), slope length and steepness (LS), soil erodibility (K), cover management (C), and support practice (P) - were estimated from data sources like monthly rainfall data, soil surveys, DEM analysis, land use/land cover maps, and NDVI analysis. Soil loss was then estimated on a per pixel basis and classified into different severity levels. The average annual soil loss for the study area was estimated to be
The key controls in a db system & hydrographsgeographypods
The document discusses the key features of a storm hydrograph including lag time, peak flow, and recession/falling limb. It then discusses the 2010 Pakistan floods by showing a video of the floods and comparing rainfall data from 2009 and 2010. Finally, it discusses the eight key controls on drainage basin systems: basin size/shape/relief, precipitation type/temperature, land use, geology, soil type, drainage density, and tides/storm surges. It emphasizes that the controls should not be viewed in isolation and usually multiple factors interact to influence drainage basin behavior.
This document summarizes an assessment of low impact development (LID) strategies using integrated surface water and groundwater models. The assessment evaluated various LID configurations for a proposed new development in Ontario to determine which strategies should be used and where to best preserve wetlands and aquifers. Modeling indicated that unmitigated development could lower aquifer levels but that LIDs like bioswales and infiltration galleries could sustain groundwater recharge and mitigate impacts, helping the municipality and conservation authority evaluate LID scenarios.
The document describes the four major spheres that make up Earth's system: the lithosphere (solid land and crust), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living things), and atmosphere (air). It provides details on the characteristics and components of each sphere. Additionally, it discusses Earth's basic facts, motions of revolution and rotation, how seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis and orbit around the sun, and defines solstices and equinoxes as the astronomical start of each season.
This document describes SiteFX and VIEWLOG software systems for environmental data management, hydrogeologic modeling, and integrated groundwater/surface water modeling using GSFLOW. The key capabilities mentioned include database management, data analysis and visualization tools, borehole logging, contour mapping, time series analysis, and integrated groundwater/surface water modeling to simulate processes like recharge, discharge, streamflow, and water table fluctuations.
While a rural renaissance appears to be re-emerging as part of the local food movement, there has been limited research exploring the counterurban experiences of new urban-oriented farmers (NUOFs) working towards becoming a part of the rural agricultural landscape. To this end, my thesis explores how NUOFs construct a ‘sense of place’ for themselves. Conducted in the summer of 2009, this ethnographic research examined the experiences of nine NUOFs living and working in rural communities in southern Ontario. Using a multi-dimensional ‘sense of place’ framework, this study found that NUOFs drew from the rural and urban environment to inform their place identity while the emotive bond to the physical and social environment varied greatly between each farmer. A networked ‘sense of community’ seemed based on interest rather than geography. Overall, the findings suggest the development of a sense of place among NUOFs is a diverse, dynamic and differentiated process.
Erosion and deposition occur through a multi-step process. Weathering erodes the landscape through various means. Water then carries eroded materials through the path of least resistance, eventually depositing sediments where plants and animals can live in deltas near oceans. Over time, plant growth through photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere, allowing people and animals to breathe. Upon further review, the author realizes their initial analysis of this process lacked specific details like a sphere-to-sphere impact and location of erosion, leaving unclear the environmental dynamics affecting erosion rates.
This document discusses the need to account for spatial heterogeneity in topography when modeling distributed groundwater recharge and evapotranspiration. A lumped model assumes homogeneity, while semi-distributed and fully distributed models can account for variability related to factors like topography. The authors argue that considering topographic effects is important when assessing impacts to ecological systems through integrated surface water and groundwater models like GSFLOW, which can predict flows and recharge/discharge at various scales from climate to subsurface processes. Accounting for spatial variability provides greater insight into processes like wetland hydrology and groundwater-surface water interactions.
1) Integrated surface water and groundwater modelling provides benefits like understanding watershed-scale water budgets, drought/flood response, and the impacts of engineering projects on both systems.
2) Common challenges with integrated modelling include ensuring integrated data and knowledge across modelling teams and addressing assumptions made when modelling each system separately.
3) Case studies demonstrate that integrated calibration identifies complex interactions missed by separate models, such as seasonal variations, storm event impacts, and aquifer controls on drought sensitivity. Fully coupled integrated models may require reconceptualization.
This document discusses using the fully-integrated GSFLOW model to analyze the impact of low impact development (LID) strategies on surface water and groundwater flow. It presents a case study of a proposed urban development and evaluates the ability of LID strategies like green roofs, bioswales, infiltration galleries and permeable pavement to mitigate impacts to groundwater levels and discharge. The results show that with LID implementation, groundwater drawdowns were reduced by 86%, groundwater discharge to streams increased by 42%, and urban runoff generation was reduced by 80% compared to development without LIDs.
An integrated groundwater-surface water model was developed for the proposed Babcock Ranch development site in Lee County, Florida using the GSFLOW code. The model was calibrated to streamflow, groundwater levels, and wetland stage data. Model results showed that the proposed stormwater management system is expected to improve wetland hydroperiods and buffer peak flows compared to current and natural conditions. The calibrated integrated model provides a tool to evaluate the impacts of land development and climate change on the groundwater and surface water system.
Surface Soil Moisture and Groundwater Assessment and Monitoring using Remote ...Jenkins Macedo
This preview is part of the requirement for a comprehensive analysis of remotely sensed surface soil moisture and groundwater assessment and monitoring for global environmental and climate change presented by Christina Geller, candidate for the degree of MSc in Geographic Information Science for Development, and Environment and Jenkins Macedo, candidate for the MS in Environmental Science and Policy at the Department of International Development, Community, and Environmental at Clark University.
The document discusses globalization and its benefits. It defines globalization as businesses dealing in markets around the world beyond local and national markets. Globalization promotes prosperity in countries that embrace it. Global companies operate from multiple countries and continents to cater to various markets. Industries like automobiles, consumer electronics, and commercial aircraft experience global competition. Benefits of globalization include increased foreign investments, cost reductions, cultural acceptance, and technology transfers across countries. However, globalization can also exploit cheap labor and influence political decisions.

Input for UNCTAD 2014 World Investment ReportLilac Nachum
This document discusses concerns about the sustainability and accountability of foreign investment by government-controlled entities like Sovereign Wealth Funds and State-Owned Enterprises. It notes that while such investment offers benefits, the lack of transparency and potential for political influence raises fears. There have been various attempts to regulate this investment through voluntary principles and ratings systems, but challenges remain around differing perceptions of sustainability standards between countries and lack of credibility in disclosures. Global uniform standards are ideal but difficult to achieve given resistance from some investors and harmonizing sustainability definitions across diverse nations.
Manuel Churchman's family originated from two places - one side came from Jalpa, Zacatecas, Mexico and eventually settled in La Puente, California. The other side immigrated to Pennsylvania from Germany. His father's side was part of the first wave of immigration to the US in the 1600s-1820s, while his mother's side from Mexico was part of the later 1918-present wave. Both sides moved to California seeking better opportunities, employment, wages, education, and quality of life compared to their places of origin.
The document provides information about rivers and river systems. It discusses how rivers form drainage networks and transport sediment. The Yukon River is used as a case study of a large river system. It forms a huge delta where it empties into the Bering Sea, carrying vast amounts of eroded sediment from Alaska and Canada. Rivers erode their channels through processes like abrasion and dissolve materials. They transport sediment through processes like saltation and as dissolved load. The shape of a river's drainage basin and the number of tributaries influences how rapidly the river responds to precipitation events.
Lab 06_ FLUVIAL PROCESSES AND LANDSCAPESLAB 06 FLUVIAL PR.docxVinaOconner450
This document provides an overview of a lab module on fluvial processes and landforms. It introduces key terms and learning objectives related to topics like watersheds, drainage patterns, stream ordering, meandering rivers, and alluvial fans. The document describes how to navigate the accompanying Google Earth file to view examples of these concepts and answer questions to test understanding.
This is a visualization concept based on a map from the 1800s. The design problem was to take the static printed map and expand on the possibilities for data visualization through interactivity.
Geology on Mars (1.2): Observing the Surface of Mars and Earthdwinter1
The document discusses comparing the surfaces of Mars and Earth. It notes that Mars was likely habitable in the past based on evidence of past liquid water. Students used Google Mars to examine landforms on Mars like canyons, mountains, and craters. They then analyzed images of landforms on Earth formed by flowing lava and water to understand how each geological process shapes the surface. By comparing a channel on Mars to these Earth examples, students aimed to determine whether the channel was formed by water or lava flow.

Lab 6: Tides and Coastal processes
Goals:
1. Understand what causes tides.
2. Understand how deep-ocean waves change and break when they reach a coastline.
3. Understand how shoreline transport of sediment occurs and how it is affected by human activities.
Tides
Tides are actually waves that move through the oceans and large lakes. In the oceans, they have periods of several hours and wavelengths of 1000s of kilometers. Depending on the wave period that dominates in different parts of the world, some places have only one high and one low tide a day (diurnal tides), whereas others have two high (about equal to each other) and two low tides (also about equal to each other) known as semidiurnal. A third type is mixed tides with two highs and two lows a day with different heights, (a high high, a low high, a high low and a low low). California, as the rest of the west coast has mixed tides.
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon causes tides on Earth. The gravitational influence of an object is directly related to its mass and its distance from another object. So even though the Sun has much more mass than the Moon, it is over 380 times farther away from the Earth than the Moon. Therefore, our little Moon wins out and has the most influence on the tides on Earth.
As the Earth spins about its axis, centrifugal force keeps water balanced on all sides of the planet. However, the Moon's gravitational forces disrupt this balance by pulling the water towards the Moon. A double "bulge" is formed—one side pulling toward the Moon and the opposite side pulling away from it, just like swinging a water balloon causes it to stretch both toward AND away from your hand. The areas where the bulging occurs experience high tides.
Tides are predictable, but their periods do not coincide with the 24 hour Earth day. The Moon takes about 24 hours and 50 minutes to line up again exactly with the same point on the Earth. Therefore, the timing of the tides shifts almost an hour a day. Because the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon change over the course a day, a month and a year, the absolute heights of diurnal, semidiurnal and mixed tides vary over these periods. For example, even within the same ~25 hour period, the heights of the semidiurnal tides are not exactly the same, although they are close. Even more significant changes are seen over a monthly cycle, with higher-than-normalspring tides (not named for the season but because the water "springs" higher than normal) and the lower-than-normalneap tides.
Exercise 1.
Let's investigate the causes of spring and neap tides. Go to this websitehttp://aspire.cosmic-ray.org/Labs/Tides/tides_simulator.html . Pick the student version because the teacher version has an annoying note in the middle of the simulation screen—the teacher version will not give you any more information than the student version to answer these questions.

This document provides information about various sources of freshwater and drinking water sources. It discusses the water cycle and major reservoirs like groundwater, glaciers, rivers/lakes and the atmosphere. Students explore these sources through various websites and activities. They learn that local drinking water in Salt Lake City comes from rivers and snowmelt in the Wasatch Mountains that flow into reservoirs in the Jordan River and Great Salt Lake watershed. The document emphasizes the importance of protecting water sources and discusses actions individuals and society can take to better conserve freshwater.
A river basin, also known as a drainage basin, is the area of land drained by a river and its tributaries. As rain falls on the land, any water in the drainage basin will flow towards the main river channel. The boundaries of the basin are defined by areas of high land known as the watershed. As a river flows downstream from its source, it passes through three stages - the upper, middle and lower courses - where its characteristics change and it increases in size.
The document provides information about Earth science topics including:
1. The structure of the Solar System and definitions of key terms like orbit, satellite, and planet.
2. A description of Earth's major spheres - the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
3. An explanation of how Earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun cause the seasons and differences in sunlight levels at different latitudes.
4. Details on mapping techniques like topographic maps and thematic maps, and representations of Earth as a globe or flat map.
This study aims to develop methods to increase CO2-enhanced oil recovery in nonconventional oil reservoirs in Illinois, focusing on the thick Cypress Sandstone. CO2 injection could potentially extract bypassed oil while storing the CO2 underground, mitigating climate change. Geological modeling and petrophysical analysis of core and log data from the Cypress Sandstone will be used to assess the CO2-EOR potential. Findings could aid development of otherwise uneconomical oil resources and remove more carbon from the atmosphere than produced during recovery. The results may demonstrate economic incentives for CO2 storage and reuse in oil production from this nonconventional reservoir.

STREAM MORPHOLOGY
Overview
Students will construct a physical scale model of a stream system
to help understand how streams and rivers shape the solid earth
(i.e., the landscape). Students will perform several experiments
to determine streamflow properties under different conditions.
They will apply the scientific method, testing their own scenarios
regarding human impacts to river systems.
Outcomes
• Design a stream table model to analyze the different
characteristics of streamflow.
• Explain the effects of watersheds on the surrounding
environment in terms of the biology, water quality, and economic
importance of streams.
• Identify different stream features based on their geological
formation due to erosion and deposition.
• Develop an experiment to test how human actions can modify
stream morphology in ways that may, in turn, impact riparian
ecosystems.

This document discusses hydrographs and river discharge. It defines river discharge as the volume of water passing a measuring point in a river over a given time, usually measured in cubic meters per second. Hydrographs can illustrate discharge patterns over time, including annual flow regimes and short-term flood or storm hydrographs. The shape and characteristics of storm hydrographs are influenced by several factors related to precipitation, soil, geology, landscape, and human activities in the drainage basin.
This document summarizes a webquest about where water comes from. It reviews the water cycle and different natural reservoirs of freshwater like groundwater, glaciers, rivers, lakes and the atmosphere. It then discusses the major sources of drinking water and how they relate to the water cycle. The webquest has students investigate their local water sources using Google Earth and an EPA website to determine where their drinking water comes from, like a nearby watershed. It concludes by discussing individual and societal responsibilities for protecting water sources.
The document discusses streams and flooding. It begins by explaining the role of streams in the water cycle and how they form drainage networks and basins. It then covers topics like stream erosion, deposition, flooding hazards, and how human activities can impact flooding. The document provides information on these topics through diagrams, photos and descriptions.
1) The document discusses a science project about the regional park of La Pedriza located in the upper course of the River Manzanares. It covers topics like the relief, climate, landscape, vegetation and fauna of the area.
2) The main rock type in La Pedriza is granite, which was formed millions of years ago during the Hercynian orogeny. The climate is Mediterranean with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters.
3) Features of the river basin such as the source, confluence, tributaries and mouth are identified and labeled on a map. The upper course of the River Manzanares displays characteristics of erosion like interlocking sp
The document discusses various river landforms and the geomorphic processes that form them. It describes landforms in the upper, middle, and lower course of a river's journey from source to mouth, including interlocking spurs, potholes, waterfalls, meanders, ox-bow lakes, levees, and deltas. It explains the erosion and depositional processes of abrasion, hydraulic action, attrition, solution, suspension, saltation, and traction that shape the river channel and valley over time.
This document summarizes Cole Pazar's honors thesis on late Pleistocene glaciations and catastrophic glacial floods in central Colorado. Pazar studied two areas - the Upper Arkansas River Valley and Snowmass Creek Valley. In the Upper Arkansas Valley, glaciers dammed the river and formed glacial lakes that catastrophically drained, depositing large boulders downstream. Numerical modeling of paleoglacier extent matched field evidence and suggested temperature depressions of around 6°C during the last glacial maximum. In Snowmass Creek Valley, modeling showed the required temperature depression at the last glacial maximum was around 1°C warmer than the previous glaciation 130,000 years ago.
This study analyzed changes in thermokarst lakes near Chersky, Russia between 1965 and 2011 using historical photographs and satellite imagery. The total lake area increased by 2,801,400 square meters over this period. Specifically, the number of small lakes increased while the number of large lakes decreased. Additionally, small lakes made up a greater percentage of the total lake area in 2011 compared to 1965. This suggests climate change is contributing to the drainage of larger lakes and expansion of smaller, more numerous water bodies in the region.
