Reduction of Global Plant Production due to Droughts from 2001 to 2010: An Analysis with a Process-Based Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)roughts dramatically affect plant production of global terrestrial ecosystems. To date, quantification of this impact remains a challenge because of the complex plant physiological and biochemical processes associated with ... -
Recent Changes in Annual Area Burned in Interior Alaska: The Impact of Fire Management
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)he Alaskan boreal forest is characterized by frequent extensive wildfires whose spatial extent has been mapped for the past 70 years. Simple predictions based on this record indicate that area burned will increase as a ... -

The Hydrometeorology of the Kariba Catchment Area Based on the Probability Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)n this paper, monthly, maximum seasonal, and maximum annual hydrometeorological (i.e., evaporation, lake water levels, and rainfall) data series from the Kariba catchment area of the Zambezi River basin, Zimbabwe, have ... -
Effects of Waves on Tabular Ice-Shelf Calving
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)s a conveyor belt transferring inland ice to ocean, ice shelves shed mass through large, systematic tabular calving, which also plays a major role in the fluctuation of the buttressing forces. Tabular iceberg calving ... -
Hydroclimate Variability and Change in the Prairie Pothole Region, the “Duck Factory” of North America
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)he Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the northern Great Plains is a vital ecosystem responsible each year for producing 50%?80% of new recruits to the North American duck population. Climate variability and change can impact ... -
