2000, Water Resources Research (36) 2795-2797
A method for stochastic modeling of groundwater flow systems using a combination of pilot point parameterization and conditional simulation was presented by RamaRao et. al [1995] and LaVenue et. al [1995]. (We will collectively term these two papers RLMM and term the method developed in RLMM the CS method here.) RLMM (pp....
Comment on “Sea level rise shown to drive coastal erosion”
Sallenger Jr., Robert Morton, Charles Fletcher, E. Robert Thieler, Peter Howd
2000, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (81) 436-436
In a recent article (Eos, Trans., AGU, February 8, 2000, p.55), Leatherman et al. [2000] state that they have confirmed an association between sea-level rise and coastal erosion. Applying their results to the New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland coasts and using a projected sea-level rise, the authors predict that by...
Stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Selenga Delta Accommodation Zone, Lake Baikal Rift, Siberia
C.A. Scholz, D. R. Hutchinson
2000, International Journal of Earth Sciences (89) 212-228
Seismic reflection profiles from the Lake Baikal Rift reveal extensive details about the sediment thickness, structural geometry and history of extensional deformation and syn-rift sedimentation in this classic continental rift. The Selenga River is the largest single source of terrigenous input into Lake Baikal, and its large delta sits astride...
Evaluation of remote-sensing techniques to measure decadal-scale changes of Hofsjokull ice cap, Iceland

2000, Journal of Glaciology (46) 375-388
Dynamic surficial changes and changes in the position of the firn line and the areal extent of Hofsjökull ice cap, Iceland, were studied through analysis of a time series (1973–98) of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) and Landsat data. A digital elevation model of Hofsjökull, which was constructed using SAR interferometry, was...
Portable coastal observatories

2000, Oceanography (13) 24-31
Ocean observational science is in the midst of a paradigm shift from an expeditionary science centered on short research cruises and deployments of internally recording instruments to a sustained observational science where the ocean is monitored on a regular basis, much the way the atmosphere is monitored. While satellite remote...
