Modeling fluvial erosion on regional to continental scales
The fluvial system is a major concern in modeling landform evolution in response to tectonic deformation. Three stream bed types (bedrock, coarse-bed alluvial, and fine-bed alluvial) differ in factors controlling their occurrence and evolution and in appropriate modeling approaches. Spatial and temporal transitions among bed types occur in response to changes in sediment characteristics and tec...
متن کاملObserved Land Impacts on Clouds, Water Vapor, and Rainfall at Continental Scales
How do the continents affect large-scale hydrological cycles? How important can one continent be to the climate system? To address these questions, five years of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observations, and the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (G...
متن کاملContinental Deformation at Varying Spatial and Temporal Scales
This thesis investigates continental deformation at many different spatial and temporal scales and at several plate-tectonic settings. Our main purpose is to understand how the continental crust behaves under applied forces, both over geologic times and over shorter time scales such as the seismic cycle. The thesis consists of separate investigations of long-term and short-term plate boundary d...
متن کاملMacrosystems ecology: understanding ecological patterns and processes at continental scales
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org I this paper, we present a conceptual framework for investigating ecological patterns and processes at regional to continental scales. Ecological phenomena operate across a range of scales (Figure 1), but the development of ecological theory of regions to continents lags behind that of finer scales. Better understanding of broad sca...
متن کاملOn the Parameterization of Surface Roughness at Regional Scales
A parameterization for surface roughness and blending height at regional scales, under neutral atmospheric stability, is studied and tested. The analysis is based on a suite of large-eddy simulations (LES) over surfaces with varying roughness height and multiple variability scales. The LES are based on the scaledependent Lagrangian dynamic subgrid-scale model, and the surface roughnesses at the...
