North American tree migration paced by fecundity and recruitment through contrasting mechanisms east and west
(2020-04-24)
Global forest diebacks are the beginnings of change that will be controlled by tree
migration, which combines two uncertain processes, tree fecundity and recruitment.
Knowledge of how, and where, tree migration can proceed ...
An Evaluation of Black Sea Bass (Centropristis striata) Distribution and Habitat Availability in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean under Climate Change
(2021-04-30)
Fishery scientists are increasingly concerned about the impacts of climate change
on marine fisheries and ecosystem health. Many marine species along the Northeast
United States continental shelf have shifted spatial distribution ...
Bridging Hydrology, Ecology, and Reservoir Management to Address Environmental Flow Specifications from Dams in a Changing Climate
(2019-04-26)
Water resource management has altered the natural flow regime of rivers around the
globe. Buffers to environmental risk and uncertainty, dams balance competing demands
for water storage and release for human needs. While ...
Assessing the current and future status of aquatic and hydrologic ecosystem services in the French Broad River Basin
(2017-04-28)
Ecosystem services are the benefits that people receive from nature, and are an increasingly
important component in conservation planning. Many of these ecosystem services are
threatened, however, by land use change and ...
Marketing Home Energy Efficiency: Benefits and Barriers to Adopting a Home Energy Efficiency Program
(2016-04-29)
Energy efficiency can contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions and the associated mitigation of climate change. The uptake of energy efficiency
measures in the residential sector requires significant ...
Allowance Allocation Options under the Clean Power Plan Proposed Mass-Based Model Rule
(2016-04-28)
The Clean Power Plan is a major element of the United States’ strategy to combat climate
change. The Clean Power Plan addresses carbon emissions from existing power plants
by setting emissions limits for each state. Under ...
A Predictive Thermal Habitat Model for Harbor Seals in the Northwest Atlantic
(2016-08-23)
We analyzed projections of current and future ambient temperatures along the eastern
United States in relationship to the thermal tolerance of harbor seals in air. Using
the earth systems model (HadGEM2-ES) and representative ...
A Climate and Operational Vulnerability Assessment of the Water Company in Salamanca, Chile
(2017-04-28)
The present master’s project is an analysis of the future vulnerability of the water
company (Aguas del Valle) in Salamanca, Chile to potential changes in population,
per capita water use, leakage, and climate. Scenario ...
A Comparison of Aboveground Biomass in Mature Old-Field Forests and Hardwood Forests of the Piedmont Using High Resolution LiDAR Data
(2015-12-07)
Airborne scanning LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a promising technique for
efficient and accurate forest volume and biomass mapping due to its capacity for direct
measurement of the three-dimensional vegetation structure. ...
Climate Adaptation in North Carolina: Assessing Coastal Habitat for Natural Shoreline Stabilization
(2012-04-23)
Climate change threatens our natural coastlines with sea level rise and increased
levels of erosion. Although various solutions exist for these climate-induced threats,
shoreline protection is the favored solution along ...
