Assessing Global Elevation Models for Mapping the Low Elevation Coastal Zone
Elevation data are critical for assessments of coastal hazards, including sea-level rise (SLR), flooding, storm surge, tsunami impacts, and wave run-up. Previous research has demonstrated that the quality of data used in elevation-based hazard assessments must be well documented and applied properly to assess potential impacts. Global digital elevation

Field‐specific yield response to variable seeding depth of corn in the Midwest
Sufficient soil moisture is crucial for corn (Zea mays L.) germination and emergence. As within‐field soil moisture varies, it is often expected that corn seeding depth should vary accordingly. As seedbeds get drier, deeper planting increases the chances

Trends in the variability of potato tuber yield under selected land and soil characteristics
The objective of this study was to evaluate variations in potato tuber yield with the selected land and soil characteristics including (i) topography (elevation and slope); (ii) geometry (horizontal coplanar geometry (HCP)and perpendicular coplanar ...

Integrating effects of species composition and soil properties to predict shifts in montane forest carbon-water relations. [PDF]
This study was designed to address a major source of uncertainty pertaining to coupled carbon-water cycles in montane forest ecosystems. The Sierra Nevada of California was used as a model system to investigate connections between the physiological ...

A network-indexbased version of TOPMODEL for use with high-resolution digital topographic data [PDF]
This paper describes the preliminary development of a network index approach to modify and to extend the classic TOPMODEL. Application of the basic Beven and Kirkby (1979) form of TOPMODEL to high resolution (2.0 m) laser altimetric data (based upon the ...

Assessing population exposure to coastal flooding due to sea level rise
The exposure of populations to sea-level rise is a leading indicator assessing the impact of future climate change on coastal regions. The authors identify three spatial zones of flooding such as mean higher water, the 100 year floodplain and the low ...

Elevated Water Tank Design Comparison in Different Seismic Zones
Water is maintained in tall tanks as part of the public water system. Because of a shortage of water or difficulties putting out a fire after an earthquake, the collapse of these water tanks could pose major risks to people. According to draught code Part II of IS 1893:2002, twelve raised circular and H-intake storage tanks with a combined capacity of ...
