Modeling Groundwater Recharge in the Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer (BRAA) using CLM 4.5
Olivares Ramos, Efrain Eduardo (2020). Modeling Groundwater Recharge in the Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer (BRAA) using CLM 4.5. Master’s thesis, Texas A&M University. Available electronically from https://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/192999. Traditional hydrologic modeling has partitioned water cycle into its different component (i.e. rainfall, run-off, or groundwater models). An alternative approach will be described in this research project. Over most of the river alluvium aquifers […]

Study of Multi-Scale Plant-Groundwater Interactions
Gou, Si (2014). Study of Multi-Scale Plant-Groundwater Interactions. Doctoral dissertation, Texas A&M University. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/153271 Groundwater serves as one of the main and reliable water sources for human-being and groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs). GDEs are threatened by insufficient groundwater supply, due to increasing groundwater extraction and climate change. Sustainable groundwater management should address the water needs […]
Mapping Potential Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems for Sustainable Management
Gou, S., Gonzales, S. and Miller, G. R. (2015), Mapping Potential Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems for Sustainable Management. Groundwater, 53: 99–110. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/gwat.12169. Ecosystems which rely on either the surface expression or subsurface presence of groundwater are known as groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs). A comprehensive inventory of GDE locations at an appropriate management scale is a necessary first-step for […]
A groundwater–soil–plant–atmosphere continuum approach for modelling water stress, uptake, and hydraulic redistribution in phreatophytic vegetation
Gou, S. and Miller, G. (2014), A groundwater–soil–plant–atmosphere continuum approach for modelling water stress, uptake, and hydraulic redistribution in phreatophytic vegetation. Ecohydrol., 7: 1029–1041. http://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1427. Modelling groundwater uptake provides a powerful tool for examining the tight linkage of phreatophytic vegetation with spatial and temporal variations in groundwater and soil moisture. Here, a physically based modelling […]
