Low impact development (LID) is a land development approach that seeks to mimic a site's
pre-development hydrology. This study is a case study that assessed flood reduction …

Land uses and their legacies are a major driver of human impacts on the environment.
Decision makers have recognized that the legacies of land-use activities continue to …

This study examines the role of urban spatial development on hydrologic response at both
catchment (sub-grid) and river basin (between grid) scales in central Indiana. At the …

River ecosystems are driven by linked physical, chemical, and biological subsystems, which
operate over different temporal and spatial domains. This complexity increases uncertainty …

Ratio of benthic to planktonic diatoms has been used to indicate lake changes related to
light availability reaching the bottom of the lake, such as changes in water clarity with …

We developed a GIS and neural network-based land use/land cover change model for
backcasting land use change and applied it to the Muskegon River watershed, a typical …

We couple two spatial-temporal models, a backcast land-use change model and a
groundwater flow model, to develop what we call “land-use legacy maps.” We quantify how …

Future alterations in land cover and climate are likely to cause substantial changes in the
ranges of fish species. Predictive distribution models are an important tool for assessing the …

Increased phosphorus (P) loadings threaten the health of the world's largest freshwater
resource, the Laurentian Great Lakes (GL). To understand the linkages between land use …

Agriculture and related land use changes continuously in response to the Common
Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform and to market forces, and general awareness has arisen …
