A three-dimensional (3D) texture model was developed to help characterize the aquifer system of Central Valley, California (USA), for a groundwater flow model. The 52,000-km Central Valley aquifer system consists of heterogeneous valley-fill deposits. The texture model was developed by compiling and analyzing approximately 8,500 drillers’ logs, describing lithologies up to 950m below land surfa...

There are few studies conducted on the short-term effects of land leveling on soil water holding capacity. The objectives of this study were to analyze the short-term effects of land leveling on the magnitudes, variances, spatial variability, and distributions of surface (0-20 cm) and subsurface (20-40 cm) soil properties of bulk density, field capacity, permanent wilting point, water holding c...

1 There is a divergence of views on future bioenergy deployment that is based in disparate epistemic communities. Integrated assessment models (IAMs) project rising deployment of biomass and biofuels in climate change-mitigation scenarios1,2. In contrast, life-cycle assessments (LCAs) and partial equilibrium models of land-use change emphasize high up-front greenhouse-gas emissions from direct ...

Impervious surface cover is commonly used as an environmental indicator for land use and watershed planning. The net quantity of impervious surface added per quantity of residential and commercial development, including the added impervious at the development site as well as the offsite impacts associated with the development (e.g., roads, other infrastructure), can serve as a partial measure o...

In developing Asian countries, the municipal cooperations are unable to handle the increasing amount of municipal solid waste, which into the uncollected waste being spread on roads and in other public areas leading to tremendous pollution and destruction of land and negative impact on human health. Generation of municipal solid waste increases with the rapid urbanization and accelerated econom...

Drumlins are glacially derived landforms that are prominent in the landscape over much of southern New England. We carried out a comprehensive ground-based survey in a three-town study area in eastern Massachusetts with the goals of establishing the extent to drumlins have been altered and assessing the associated environmental consequences and probable driving factors. Results show that many d...

[1] This paper examines monthly variability of climatological mean sea surface temperature (SST) in the Black Sea. A total of eight products, including observationand model-based SST climatologies, are formed and compared with each other. Some of the observation-based SST data sets include only satellite measurements, while others combine in situ temperatures, such as those from moored and drif...
