Several case studies and numerical simulations have confirmed that baroclinic boundaries provide enhanced horizontal and vertical vorticity, wind shear, helicity, and moi[...]

ABSTRACTDERICK RUSSELL HAYDIN. Vertical hydraulic gradients and groundwater surface water interaction under a pre-restoration Piedmont urban stream, Charlotte, NC. (Under[...]

Rock domes and associated surface-parallel exfoliation joints are evident in all tectonic and climatic settings, including the Blue Ridge and Piedmont provinces of the so[...]

Large-scale exfoliation cracks and associated domes can strongly influence regional landscape evolution, hydrology and hazards, but their formation mechanism(s) and long-[...]

Predicting supercell thunderstorm evolution in strongly-forced environments is relatively well-understood. However, this is not always the type of environment that spawns[...]

Developed countries witnessed an 80% expansion of urban land use between 1990 and 2015. This is leading to degradation of ecosystems and habitats, resulting in a general [...]

Observable increases in depth to water in wells throughout the High Plains Aquifer have led to growing concerns regarding the sustainability of groundwater in the High Pl[...]

We evaluate the statistical relationship between ENSO state and global seasonal temperature and precipitation, creating and analyzing maps of the linear correlation betwe[...]

The depth at which weathering starts has been studied by others in felsic and mafic protoliths. However, weathering initiation in foliated parent material, which is inher[...]

Human-wildlife interactions and conflicts are becoming increasingly common over time, as humans and wildlife are sharing more space and resources than previously. These i[...]
