Improved Hydrologic Modeling for Characterizing Variable Contributing Areas and Threshold-Controlled Overland Flow in Depression-Dominated Areas
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Surface depressions are important topographic features, which affect overland flow, infiltration, and other hydrologic processes. Specifically, depressions undergo filling-spilling-merging-splitting processes under natural ...
An Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Swelling Clays and Clay-Kerogen Interactions in Oil Shale: A Molecular Modeling and Experimental Study
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This work provides an insight into how the molecular interactions influence macroscale properties of two materials: swelling clay and oil shale. Swelling clays cause enormous damage to infrastructure: buildings, roads, and ...
Development of Improved Methods for Watershed-Scale Topographic Analysis and Hydrologic Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Surface depressions are one of the significant topographic characteristics in depression-dominated areas and can retain runoff and break the hydrologic continuity in watersheds. In traditional semi-distributed models, the ...
