Fries, Alexander Christopher (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020)

Urbanization in Alabama has been driven and influenced by a number of factors over the course of the state’s history. Examined from a geographic standpoint, the sizes and spatial distributions of Alabama’s cities have been ...
A meta-analysis of Holocene fluvial activity in the Southeastern U.S.

Lombardi, Rachel (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

Flood hazard is a reality in the Southeastern U.S., which is exacerbated by the high uncertainty of flood hazard as a result of short, discontinuous stream gauge records. Extreme flood events captured in the instrumental ...
A new global scale river's slope dataset

Wan, Tong (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

River’s slope (bed and flow) is a key parameter in fluvial hydrology, hydraulics and geomorphology. It affects many important fluvial variables such as flow velocity and sediment transport, especially bedload. Limitation ...
A range-wide disturbance history for Quercus alba in the eastern US

Buchanan, Megan Lindsay (University of Alabama Libraries, 2011)

Throughout much of the eastern US, forests are undergoing a transition from Quercus to Acer-Fagus dominance. While the pattern has been reported in many site-specific analyses and is often linked to changes in disturbance ...
A review and case study of multiple interacting disturbances in forest ecosystems

Kleinman, Jonathan Samuel (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

Strategies to enhance ecosystem resilience are increasingly needed in forest management plans. Natural and managed disturbances that alter ecosystem resilience to other perturbations are called compound disturbances. This ...
A spatial analysis of management techniques used on nuisance black bears in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA (1990-2015)

White, John Parker (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

Human-bear conflicts have been an important issue for wildlife officials in Great Smoky Mountains National Park since it was first established in 1934. In the Park’s early decades, biologists used capture and relocation ...
A study of infrastructural connectivity on a college campus: the case of the University of Alabama

Schnarre, Emily L. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

As the University of Alabama and the City of Tuscaloosa continue to undergo unprecedented growth, more students than ever need to commute to campus. While most students choose to drive to campus, this places stress on the ...
A synthesis of Alabama beach states and nourishment histories

Watkins, Adam David (University of Alabama Libraries, 2011)

Five reaches of Alabama beaches were geomorphologically classified using established techniques from the literature. Different methods of obtaining wave data for the purpose of beach classification were compared. Complete ...
Accessibility and university populations: local effects on non-motorized transportation in the Tuscaloosa-Northport area

Lundberg, Benjamin (University of Alabama Libraries, 2012)

This research examined the local bicycle and pedestrian networks through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and survey data, using the Tuscaloosa and Northport, Alabama, area as a case study. The local non-motorized ...
Accessibility of movement challenged persons to evacuation routes and their earthquake risk perception

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

This study aims to evaluate the accessibility during earthquake evacuation for movement challenged persons (MCPs), a disable group highly vulnerable to earthquake, and explores their risk perception in the context of ...
Acculturation in a community garden: the shifting role of a Hmong garden in eastern Wisconsin

Misfeldt, James Arthur (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

Sheboygan, Wisconsin is a small midwestern city that is home to a community garden that has been kept by a Hmong immigrant community for more than 30 years. This thesis uses a cultural geographic approach to present an ...

Sandy, John H.
An examination of historic wetland loss in Northern Mississippi floodplains using general land office surveys

Harper, Matthew Aaron (University of Alabama Libraries, 2013)

Prior to European settlement of America in the late 16th century, a relatively pristine environment existed on the North American continent. Since that time, landscape-altering processes such as logging, deforestation for ...
Angler perceptions of changes in lateral connectivity: the case of the Black Warrior River

Van Allen, Shivon (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

Due to current river management priorities for aging, altered, and sedimented river systems, access to off-channel areas on the Black Warrior River system in West Alabama has diminished. As a result, satisfaction of river ...
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 ...
Applications of Landsat-5 TM imagery in assessing and mapping water quality in Bankhead Reservoir of the Black Warrior River

Forrer, Dorothy Colleen (University of Alabama Libraries, 2012)

Bankhead Reservoir of the Black Warrior River is designated for swimming, fish and wildlife, and to be used as a public water source. The water quality of Bankhead Reservoir is impacted by both point and nonpoint source ...
Assessing the influence of climate change on flooding hazards following tropical cyclone events in the southeast United States
