• Exploring the Effects of Urban Sprawl on Low-Income Neighborhoods in Birmingham, AL 

  Blankenship, Jesslyn Cameron (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  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 ...
• Reconstructing Multi-Century Streamflow Records in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta 

  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 ...
• Do You Have What I Expect? - Understanding the Gap Between Local Governments' Plans to Mitigate Coastal Hazards and Public Perceptions 

  Cass, Evan Yancey (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  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 ...
• Stand Dynamics in a Longleaf Pine Woodland: a Spatial Analysis 

  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 ...
• Global River Delta Morphology Response to Fluvial Sediment Change and Anthropogenic Stress 

  Nanayakkara Munasinghe, Dinuke Sashi (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  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 ...
• Application of Deep Learning to Estimate Mean River Cross-Sectional Depth 

  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 ...
• Self-Care Instruments to Measure Nutrition Practices in Children and Parents: Psychometric Analysis 

  Pawloski, Lisa R.; Moore, Jean B.; Treffinger, Patricia; Baghi, Heibatollah; Gaffney, Kathleen; Jaimovich, Sonia; Campos, Cecilia; Curtin, Kevin M. (2021)

  The purposes of this study were to evaluate the psychometric properties of English and Spanish instruments that measure the nutrition behavior and practices of children and their parents. Orem’s self-care deficit nursing ...
• Spatial Targeting of Agricultural Support Measures: Indicator-Based Assessment of Coverages and Leakages 

  LaFevor, Matthew C.; Ponette-González, Alexandra G.; Larson, Rebecca; Mungai, Leah M. (2021)

  Agricultural support programs distribute payments to farms based on a diverse set of policy objectives. Adequate targeting of this support to priority areas is key to efficient and effective policy. We evaluated the targeting ...
• Resilience of a Fire-Maintained Pinus palustris Woodland to Catastrophic Wind Disturbance: 10 Year Results 

  Good, J. Davis; Kleinman, Jonathan S.; Hart, Justin L. (2021)

  Increased interest in ecosystem recovery and resilience has been driven by concerns over global change-induced shifts in forest disturbance regimes. In frequent-fire forests, catastrophic wind disturbances modify ...
• The Colorado and Virgin Rivers before Lake Mead 

  Rable, George C. (2018)

  In 1936, the completion of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River in Nevada and Arizona created Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. When the lake reached capacity in 1941 several canyons and valleys were ...
• Accessibility of movement challenged persons to evacuation routes and their earthquake risk perception 

  Bhuiya, Md Musfiqur Rahman (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)
