Sentences with phrase «affect hydrologic»

By comparing two similar watersheds, the team was able to accomplish three objectives: They refined predictions of how a fire in the upper Mission Creek watershed would affect hydrologic and sedimentary processes in the following rainy season, they identified the post-fire risk of flooding to downstream communities, and they provided information that local government agencies can and are using to assess current mitigation strategies and emergency response to potential flooding.

This phenomenon can directly affect the hydrologic cycle and, through it, the quantity and quality of water resources.

I believe that I was harassed by my supervisor and others in NWS for over a year after the suspension, related to my concerns on climate and hydrologic change as that can affect hydrologic modeling which NWS river forecast centers uses for flood and water supply forecasting.

Predicting how increasing atmospheric CO2 will affect the hydrologic cycle, from extreme weather forecasts to long - term projections on agriculture and water resources, is critical both to daily life and to the future of the planet.

Keiluweit, assistant professor in UMass Amherst's School of Earth and Sustainability, says the team's next steps include quantifying the amount of anaerobic microsites in different soil ecosystems and assessing how carbon stabilization in them is affected by variables such as the soil hydrologic regime, which is expected to change dramatically due to climate change.

The ones that are most relevant today though are those that affect atmospheric absorption and reflection of radiation, and surface impacts on either radiative or hydrologic fluxes.

Warming will shift climatic zones by intensifying the hydrologic cycle, affecting freshwater availability and human health.

The pattern and spatial gradients of forcing affect global and regional temperature responses as well as other aspects of climate response such as the hydrologic cycle.

Here Huntington et al. measured how climate change alters hydrologic conditions in New England and affects DOC transport into the Gulf of Maine.

► Agricultural drought relates to moisture deficits in the topmost 1 meter or so of soil (the root zone) that affect crops, ► meteorological drought is mainly a prolonged deficit of precipitation, and ► hydrologic drought is related to below - normal stream flow, lake and groundwater levels.

For example, nearly all features of the hydrologic system are now impacted by the Human System [60] with important feedbacks onto humans, e.g., snowpack decline due to climate change [53] reduces water availability; agricultural processes further affect water availability and water quality [54]; and land - use changes can reduce groundwater recharge [77].

I often lead discussion among Realtors about the affects of climate change on real estate, from increased intensity and frequency of storm events to changing hydrologic cycles.
