Abstract: A methodology for detecting nonlinear dynamics in bed load transport rate time series and testing the ability of distribution functions to characterize rate variations is outlined. The Kolmogorov entropy of a time series ...

Abstract: This paper assesses the state of social science research specific to populations at risk vis-à-vis weather forecasting and warnings. At-risk populations are defined as groups historically disadvantaged by socioeconomic ...

Abstract: Physiographic, hydrologic, and rainfall data from 18 small drainage basins in semiarid, central Wyoming were used to calibrate topological, unit‐hydrograph models for celerity, the average rate of travel of a flood wave ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for forecasting the response of salinity movement in a tidal estuary to seasonal rainfall and freshwater inflows. The forecasting procedure uses linked stochastic and deterministic models to ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of simplified mathematical models of the cryosphere which may be useful in further understanding possible global climate change impacts and in further assessing future impacts captured ...

Abstract: AbstractThe 2011?16 California drought illustrates that drought-prone areas do not always experience relief once a favorable phase of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) returns. In the twenty-first century, such an ...
