The core of this dissertation consists of three local-scale case studies of mangrove forest change in study areas in Belize, Cuba, and Mexico. For each case study, I combined remote sensing, field observations, local ...
Shafer, Gregory Wayne(University of Alabama Libraries, 2020)
Freshwater mussels are burrowing, filter feeding organisms that were once widespread prior to river regulation but now face extinction or extirpation in many rivers of North America. The lifespan of some species can exceed ...
Corbin, Joni(University of Alabama Libraries, 2020)
In this study, we use multiple paleoflood hydrologic techniques to develop a chronology of flood events that pre-date stream gauge data for South Sauty Creek, a tributary of the Tennessee River in north Alabama. Paleoflood ...

Marine debris is a global issue with acute impacts. This study investigates the relationship
between human foot traffic and debris prevalence on 7 islands in the South Water Caye and
Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserves in ...

Urban sprawl has led to poorly planned cities that spread out over large distances of land, creating unequal distribution of resources and blocking access to opportunities for low-income residents who remain in the central ...
Jones, Carly(University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)
Across the Southeastern United States (SEUS) growing populations are increasing demand on water resources and infrastructure. Understanding the long-term natural flow regime of rivers is critical to developing accurate ...

The New Orleans region of Louisiana has been at the front of coastal hazard and climate change research in recent years because of its high social vulnerability, influenced by its location on the Gulf of Mexico, socioeconomic ...
Phillips, David(University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)
Global climate change has put an increased focus on enhancing adaptation potential of forest ecosystems. It is hypothesized that structurally complex stands exhibit greater resistance and resilience to stresses. An ...

River deltas, home to almost half a billion people around the world, are important coastal depositional systems. Valuable natural resources, fertile grounds, and convenient locations for trade have proven deltaic land to ...
Raney, Arthur Austin(University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)
Estimates of riverine channel geometry play a vital role in the physical representation of stream networks in models used to predict flood and drought conditions, manage water resources, and increase our knowledge of fluvial ...
