Tree-ring footprint of joint hydrologic drought in Sacramento and Upper Colorado river basins, western USA

Growing and changing demands on water supply, along with natural climate variability and possible anthropogenically induced climate change, make water resource management and planning increasingly challenging, particularly in arid regions. Instrumental climate and gaged streamflow records provide just a snapshop of recent natural hydrologic variability. In this paper, we use tree-ring-based ann...

A tree-ring reconstruction of western spruce budworm outbreaks in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado, U.S.A

Tree-ring records were used to reconstruct spatial and temporal patterns of western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman) outbreaks in mixed conifer forests of southern Colorado. Reconstructions in 11 host stands showed a regionally synchronous pattern of at least 14 outbreaks during the past 350 years. Intervals between outbreaks were highly variable within stands, but at the reg...

A q - QUEENS PROBLEM V . THE BISHOPS ’ PERIOD

Part I showed that the number of ways to place q nonattacking queens or similar chess pieces on an n× n square chessboard is a quasipolynomial function of n. We prove the previously empirically observed period of the bishops quasipolynomial, which is exactly 2 for three or more bishops. The proof depends on signed graphs and the Ehrhart theory of inside-out polytopes.
