GOVERNING THE CLOUD: Infrastructural Statecraft and the Political Ecology of Digital Expansion in Oregon

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

Variability and Trends in Streamflow in Northeast United States

Procedia Earth and Planetary Science, 2016
AbstractThere is general consensus that climate is undergoing change but whether climate change is occurring or not is still being debated in certain scientific, political, and religious quarters. Hydrologic variability influences the design of civil works and assessment of long-term climate change would help improve design criteria.

Sensitivity of Regulated Streamflow Regimes to Interannual Climate Variability [PDF]

Earth's Future, 2019
The simultaneous growth in climate‐driven alterations of the hydrologic cycle and global freshwater demand threatens the security of anthropogenic and ecologic uses of streamflows. However, the impact of damming on the response of river regimes to long‐term climate variability has not been fully disclosed yet.

Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Reconstructing the Hydroclimatic History of the Mississippi River Basin Over the Past Millennium

Water Resources Research
The Mississippi River Basin (MRB) is the largest watershed in the United States and plays a central role in regional hydroclimate. This study reconstructs annual streamflow variability in the MRB from the year 1200 to 2005 by applying principal component

Young and new water fractions in soil and hillslope waters [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
The transport processes and corresponding timescales of water's infiltration into and percolation through the shallow subsurface are poorly understood.

The Effect of Mine‐Related Groundwater Use and Management on Surface Water in the Middle Humboldt River Basin

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract The Humboldt River, in Northern Nevada, USA, is a source of water for agricultural, municipal, and industrial uses. Mining has been active in Nevada since the 1800s. The recognition that groundwater withdrawal for many purposes—including mining—has the potential to deplete streamflow has prompted studies of the Humboldt River Basin.

Streamflow Response to Glacier Mass Loss Varies With Basin Precipitation Across Alaska

Water Resources Research
Diminishing glaciers affect streamflow, and given the extent of glaciers in Alaska and adjacent Canada, continued glacier mass loss is likely to have profound effects on ecosystems sensitive to runoff.

Finite Element Implementation of SAFE for Asymmetric Stream‐Aquifer Flow Exchange

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and human activities increasingly affect interconnected stream–aquifer systems, motivating continued evaluation of how stream–aquifer interactions are represented in integrated groundwater–surface water models. Most groundwater models quantify stream–aquifer exchange using an empirical riverbed leakance parameter that is ...
