Decision Making Under Uncertainty in Systems Hydrology
, 1971 Design of engineering projects involve a certain amount of uncertainty. How should design decisions be taken in face of the uncertainty? What is the most efficient way of handling the data?

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract To aid California's water sector to better understand and manage future climate extremes, we present a method for creating a regionally consistent ensemble of plausible daily future climate and streamflow scenarios that represent natural climate variability captured in a network of tree‐ring chronologies, and then embed anthropogenic climate ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 6479-6498, October 2022., 2022 Charred jack pine snags provide unique paleoclimatic data in the Canadian boreal forest. Spring temperature reconstructions from these trees indicate cooler than average springs at the end of the Little Ice Age, with multi‐decadal cold and warm phases, before transitioning to warmer springs since approximately 1940.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Favorable topographic gradients and channel bed aggradation are often cited as primers for river channel avulsion. Sylhet Basin in Bangladesh subsides relatively rapidly and presents a topographically favorable channel course for the Brahmaputra River.

, 2000 Paleoflood hydrology is a technique for assessing the magnitude and frequency of floods in bedrock canyons. I calculate effects of adding paleoflood data to gaging data on estimating low return-period quantiles using peak discharge sample statistics from

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Climate conditions and instantaneous depositional events can influence the relative contribution of sediments from terrestrial and marine environments and ultimately the quantity and composition of carbon buried in the sediment record. Here, we analyze the elemental, isotopic, and organic geochemical composition of marine sediments to identify

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 47, Issue 12, 28 June 2020., 2020 Abstract Floods and droughts in the Mississippi River basin are perennial hazards that cause severe economic disruption. Here we develop and analyze a new lipid biomarker record from Horseshoe Lake (Illinois, USA) to evaluate the climatic conditions associated with hydroclimatic extremes that occurred in this region over the last 1,800 years.

River archaeology – a new tool for historical hydrology [PDF]
, 2008 River archaeology is consisting of underwater research of the rivers themselves, and also the archaeology of the valleys/floodplains with special interest in humanenvironmental interactions (reconstructing space, environment, economy and society on ...

Can tree tilting be used for paleoflood discharge estimations? [PDF]
, 2014 Paleoflood hydrology typically deals with the reconstruction of floods in ungauged and poorly gauged basins by combining different sources of indirect evidence. Botanical indicators have been used repeatedly in the past, mostly through the study of scars
