Speaker: Dr. Ana Barros Abstract: The Intense Observing Period (IOP) Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign took place from 01 May to 15 June 2014 in the southeastern US and centered on the Southern Appalachian Mountains (SAM). IPHEx…
Speaker: Dr. Jirka Šimůnek Abstract: Agriculture is one of the most important non-point pollution sources due to the use of chemicals in plant and animal production. Many mathematical numerical models evaluating water flow and the fate and transport of these…
Speakers: Stuart Coleman and Michael Mezzacapo Abstract: To help Hawai‘i deal with the unprecedented COVID-19 and resulting hardships, the Work-4-Water Initiative aims to create a workforce of development projects, and in the process, reduce the amount of pollution from cesspools…
Speaker: Kawika Burgess Abstract: After more than 100 years of large-scale monocrop (sugar and pineapple) agriculture in Hawai‘i, much of our agricultural lands are now fallow. The once fertile lands are being converted to gentlemen estates and urban sprawl, and…
Speaker: Dr. Brittany Bruder Abstract: The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) developed a system that quickly monitors the state of coastal environments by providing real-time quantitative imagery and engineering data. Previous methods were often costly, time consuming,…
Speaker: Dr. Laura Brewington Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop an integrated land cover/hydrological modeling framework using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) data, stakeholder input, climate information and projections, and empirical data to estimate future…
Speaker: Dr. Christopher Shuler Abstract: Recent advancements in social networking have influenced how we communicate professionally, how we work collaboratively, and how we approach data-science. Scientific endeavors—especially computational tasks such as groundwater modeling or exploratory data analysis—are poised to take…
Speaker: Dr. John McHugh Abstract: This presentation will discuss the relationship between water and watercress farming at Sumida Farms, the largest watercress farm in Hawai‘i, in the context of climate change. Specifically, key challenges facing Sumida Farms in ensuring their…
Speaker: Dr. Tom Giambelluca Abstract: Replacement of native plants by non-native invasive species can affect water processes and impact water resources in several ways. Perhaps the most important effect of invasion is the possible increase in transpiration by fast-growing invasive…
Abstract: In this project, we inventoried and assessed the stocks and flows of freshwater in Hawai‘i’s natural systems and human economy, following the integrated approach proposed by the United Nations’ System of Environmental-Economic Accounts for Water. In partnership with potential…
