Sensitivity of Present and Future Surface Temperatures to Precipitation Characteristics
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2004)
A model simulation study shows that different diurnal cycles of precipitation are consistent with radically different present and future climate characteristics. In projected future climate scenarios, divergence in the ...
Simulated Effects of Climate Change on Summertime Nitrogen Deposition in the Eastern US
(Elsevier BV, 2008)
It is anticipated that climate change may impact regional-scale air quality and atmospheric deposition in the coming decades. To simulate the effects of climate change on nitrogen (N) deposition across numerous watersheds ...
Harnessing Dynamics: Exploring Scale & Coastal Infrastructure in the Arctic
(2022-04-01)
Infrastructure is crucial for survival in extreme environments. However, it is often built with little consideration for its environmental context or the broader needs of the community it serves. In the Arctic, small coastal ...
From Humboldt to Caldas: On Environmental Liberations by Means of Tropical Altitudinalization
(2021-05-20)
When we stand on earth and think of the world in latitudinal terms, we are minimal, yet this is the world we attempt to conquer and pretend to comprehend. When we stand at low altitudes in the tropics, in front of tropical ...
Equity and Climate Change Adaptation: Toward a Better Understanding of Resource Allocation
(2021-02-17)
With climate change adaptation becoming ever more urgent, decisions about how to allocate adaptation resources have become increasingly important. For instance, should decision-makers in flood-prone areas fund a sea wall ...

Of Unfrozen Waters
adaptation for the deep thaw
Retreating sea ice and coastlines are resulting in habitat loss for human and non-human species. A deep investigation into the flux of Arctic materials reveals a need for ...
Crossing Paths: Strategies for the Gowanus Basin
(2021-06-02)
Over the past few centuries, the Gowanus has transformed from natural to pastoral to industrial to post-industrial. Its history is tied to the development of Brooklyn. Once a tidal inlet with orchards and mills, it ...
TEOTWAWKI: A Designer's Guide to Prepping
(2021-05-18)
Preparing, colloquially known as “prepping,” is a political act that can be read through the medium of landscape, extending from the colonization of the United States to the present. While mainstream media portrays preppers ...
Sea Level Rise and Housing Affordability in Small Coastal Communities: A Case Study in Maine
(2022-05-18)
Significant portions of the United States’ coastal housing stock are vulnerable to inundation in coming decades. This will cause a direct loss of housing, result in higher prices for homes that are not vulnerable to flooding, ...
Reciprocal Ruination: Nature & New York City
(2021-06-02)
This thesis is set in New York City, between the years of 2060 and 2300, a period in which the earlier warnings had escalated to full, protracted cataclysm. In the eventful first half of the 21st century, the United States ...
