CAHS Scientist Ram Ray Published on estimating land surface variables using models and satellite data in Texas and California

2019-12-15T14:37:06-06:00

Assessment of Land Surface Models at the heterogeneous terrain and climate regimes is essential for understanding complex hydrological and biophysical parameterization. The models assist in responding to climate change in the global eco-climate system because they quantify and analyze the surface energy fluxes and its variations. Ram Ray, Research Scientist, and his colleagues examined the ...

CAHS Scientists Ram Ray, Ali Fares and Eric Risch Published on Effects of Drought on Crop Production and Cropping Areas in Texas

2019-12-15T14:37:07-06:00

Agricultural production is directly affected by climate variables and climate change. These variables control crop growth and health, and annual crop yield over time. Increased crop yield is required to meet the needs of future population growth, but drought causes significant yield reductions for rain-fed and irrigated crops. Thus, studying the effect of climate change ...

CAHS Scientist, Ram Ray, Published on Sequoia’s Groves Vegetation Moisture Stress Analysis under a Warming Climate

2019-12-15T14:37:08-06:00

Temperature is an important limitation to forest growth, especially at higher elevations. A warmer temperature can extend the growing season and thus enhances vegetation growth. There are projections that increasing temperature during dry periods will intensify drought effects on vegetation. Thus, studying the effect of rising temperature on vegetation moisture content is essential to understand ...

CAHS Researcher, Almoutaz El Hassan, published on the May 2015 Catastrophic Blanco River Flood in South Texas

2019-12-15T14:37:08-06:00

Unprecedented rainfall across the State of Texas in May 2015 produced flooding that claimed at least 24 lives across the state and eleven lives in the town of Wimberley, TX alone. The most devastating single event flood over this period occurred during May 23-24 along the Blanco River watershed, which is located in South-Central Texas. ...

Reviving a Forgotten Theory of Apical Dominance in Plants: Kebrom Publishes New Work

2019-12-15T14:37:11-06:00

The shoot architecture of plants is a major factor determining the yield of crops. Optimal shoot architecture also enhances the esthetic values of ornamental plants. The number of branches developed and their position determines the shoot architecture. Branches develop from buds at the leaf-stem junctions. In some plants, the buds do not grow, and thus ...
