Municipalities across the United States and the world face profound climate adaptation and mitigation challenges. To assess current engagement and future potential of various professional communities to communicate about and contribute to such efforts, we conducted 56 in‐depth interviews in Virginia with members of five communities of practice (elected

Stagewise Boosting Distributional Regression
ABSTRACT Distributional regression extends generalized additive models by linking all distributional parameters to covariates. Gradient boosting is among the most effective estimation techniques for such models, yet it can suffer from vanishing gradients, resulting in unstable updates and weak variable selection.

Our Changing Climate Is Presenting Major Challenges to the Great Lakes Region
ABSTRACT The Earth's climate, including that of North America, is changing rapidly and the corresponding changes in temperature, precipitation, extreme weather, and other effects are accelerating. This changing climate is affecting the region around the Great Lakes and the physical behavior of the Great Lakes themselves, presenting new challenges to ...

Airship stresses due to vertical velocity gradients and atmospheric turbulence [PDF]
Munk's potential flow method is used to calculate the resultant moment experienced by an ellipsoidal airship. This method is first used to calculate the moment arising from basic maneuvers considered by early designers, and then expended to calculate the

ABSTRACT Arizona, located in the Desert Southwest of the U.S., faces chronic water scarcity and has been strongly affected by the multidecadal Millennium Drought. As the state increasingly turns to water augmentation strategies, accurate, high‐resolution estimates of water balance components are essenctial.
