"Infrastructure facilities of landing sites, which are the core of the fishing industry in Sri Lanka, were severely damaged by the tsunami in December 2004.
Currently these facilities are being rebuilt in association with various non-governmental...

The absence of tsunami load provisions in coastal infrastructure design has led to unchecked resistance capacity of bridges against
one of the most eminent natural hazards on the U.S. west coast. The Spencer Creek Bridge, which was completely...

Numerous studies have linked individual nutrient loadings from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers to
the growth of the hypoxic, or oxygen depleted, zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico. However, in the
discussion of policy to remediate Gulf...

Landscape fire succession models (LFSMs) predict spatially–explicit interactions between vegetation
succession and disturbance, but these models have yet to fully integrate ungulate herbivory as a driver of
their processes. We modified a complex...

Many microbial, fungal, or oomcyete populations violate assumptions for population
genetic analysis because these populations are clonal, admixed, partially
clonal, and/or sexual. Furthermore, few tools exist that are specifically designed for...
