Greenhouse Governmentality : Discourses of Rural Development and the Negotiation of Farmer Subjectivity in Jamaica
(East Carolina University, 2015)The Jamaican small farmer has long been perceived as backward and technologically inept, and has been severally intervened upon by the state and development agencies aiming to correct this perceived obsolescence. The ... -
Improving Low-Relief Coastal LiDAR DEMs with Hydro-Conditioning of Fine-Scale and Artificial Drainages
(2015-11-23)Improvements in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology and spatial analysis of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) have advanced the accuracy and diversity of applications for coastal hazards and natural ... -
Incorporation and silence : A comparative study of the reception of Latino immigrants in two southeast U.S. cities
(East Carolina University, 2010)We know a great deal about Latino immigration to the United States and the movement of Latinos within the country, but it is useful to study the specific circumstances of local communities in order to get beyond broad-brushed ... -
Influence of Channel Bend Curvature on Debris-Flow-Driven Avulsion on Alluvial Fans, Explored through Discrete Simulations
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-03)Alluvial fan morphology is often influenced by channelization of fluvial flow and episodic instances of avulsion (channel rerouting). Under certain conditions and in response to dramatic shifts (i.e., significant vegetation ... -
Influence of Climatic Oscillations on Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone Energy
(East Carolina University, 2014)Tropical Cyclones form in 4 independent regions of the Indian Ocean Basin ranging from the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Western South Indian, and Eastern South Indian Ocean. These cyclones lead to distinct patterns in their ... -
Large-Eddy Simulation of Reynolds Stress Budgets in and Above Forests in Neutral Atmospheric Boundary Layers
(2023-03-13)Large-eddy simulations (LESs) of inversion-capped neutral atmospheric boundary layers (ABLs) are augmented to earlier small-domain LESs of a sparse forest and field observation to evaluate the budgets of all non-negligible ...
