A two-dimensional mass transport model has been developed to integrate a hydrodynamic model and a water quality model for the Patuxent Estuary, Maryland. In this study, a two-dimensional,...
Recent Progress on Hydrodynamic Modeling of San Francisco Bay, California
A hydrodynamic modeling study of the effects of freshwater inflow on circulation and mixing in San Francisco Bay has been underway since 1985. This paper describes the multidimensional...
Multi-Dimensional Modeling of Hydrodynamics and Salinity in San Francisco Bay
This paper presents a modeling study of salt intrusion into San Francisco Bay that used a three dimensional finite element model capable of different approximation levels in different...
Flexible Pipe Design Revisited
An overwhelming soil factor in the Iowa formula and random deformations at installation affords soil a prominent role in flexible pipe; this, together with a maximal deflection rule make...
Multidisciplinary Hydrologic Investigations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Future climatic conditions and tectonic processes have the potential to cause significant changes of the hydrologic system in the southern Great Basin, where a nuclear-waste repository...
Sounding Out Buried Waste
Geophysical diffraction tomography (GDT) is a new remote sensing technique for quantitative high-resolution subsurface imaging. It is similar to optical holography where long wavelength...
Microwave Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture Applied to Hydrologic Modeling
Recent advances in microwave remote sensing have demonstrated the ability to measure soil moisture under a variety of topographic and vegetation cover conditions; however, its application...

A study is being conducted to determine the utility of satellite data for hydrologic modelling in different physiographic and climatic zones of Canada. As part of that study, a simple...
An Application of Remote Sensing to Distributed Hydrologic Simulation
Hydrologic processes affecting flood flows occur primarily at the surface of the earth. Furthermore, the role of vegetation on the hydrologic response is very important in flood flow forecasting....
Application of RUSLE to Rangelands
The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) has been revised to more accurately estimate soil loss from both crop and rangeland areas. Major revisions affecting rangeland soil loss estimates...
Effects of Forest Cover on a Snowpack in the Sierra Nevada
Adjacent snowpacks in a clearing and under a forest canopy were compared over a decade at a site near Lake Tahoe. This comparison provides a few indications of the differences in snowpack...
Hydrologic Effects of Brush to Grass Conversion
A physically based rainfall-runoff model is used to detect hydrologic response to artifically induced vegetation changes on a semiarid watershed. Model parameters are optimized using a...
Watershed Hydrograph Simulation Through Dendritic Channel Networks
