MODFLOW-2005, the U.S. Geological Survey Modular Ground-Water Model - Documentation of Shared Node Local Grid Refinement (LGR) and the Boundary Flow and Head (BFH) Package
This report documents the addition of shared node Local Grid Refinement (LGR) to MODFLOW-2005, the U.S. Geological Survey modular, transient, three-dimensional, finite-difference ground-water flow model. LGR provides the capability to simulate ground-water flow using one block-shaped higher-resolution local grid (a child model) within a coarser-grid parent model. LGR accomplishes this by iteratively coupling two separate MODFLOW-2005 models such that heads and fluxes are balanced across the shared interfacing boundary. LGR can be used in two-and three-dimensional, steady-state and transient simulations and for simulations of confined and unconfined ground-water systems. Traditional one-way coupled telescopic mesh refinement (TMR) methods can have large, often undetected, inconsistencies in heads and fluxes across the interface between two model grids. The iteratively coupled shared-node method of LGR provides a more rigorous coupling in which the solution accuracy is controlled by convergence criteria defined by the user. In realistic problems, this can result in substantially more accurate solutions and require an increase in computer processing time. The rigorous coupling enables sensitivity analysis, parameter estimation, and uncertainty analysis that reflects conditions in both model grids. This report describes the method used by LGR, evaluates LGR accuracy and performance for two- and three-dimensional test cases, provides input instructions, and lists selected input and output files for an example problem. It also presents the Boundary Flow and Head (BFH) Package, which allows the child and parent models to be simulated independently using the boundary conditions obtained through the iterative process of LGR.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

How Should the Department of Defense Approach Environmental Security Implications of Climate Change
Environmental Security (ES) is a process for analyzing and responding to those environmental issues caused by anthropogenically driven environmental degradation. Climate change is a major ES threat having the potential to affect U.S. national security and thus has significant impact for the military national defense mission. This paper considers the most up-to-date climate change projections published by the IPCC, NASA, and the U.S. Global Change Program along with the latest national strategic guidance in order to determine actions required by the DoD. An overwhelming number of greenhouse models indicate considerable changes will affect U.S. national security during the mid 21st century. In addition, the study shows the DoD is currently at the onset of strategically organizing itself to analyze climate change impacts, provide combatant commanders with relevant mission preparedness information, and assess impacts to U.S. military installations of rising sea level/extreme weather events. Therefore, this study makes the following four recommendations: (1) ES must be a national security component, (2) DoD must establish an activity dedicated to develop ES related strategy, (3) Climate change data should be incorporated into a yearly Intelligence Environmental Estimate, (4) USJFCOM should take the lead in developing climate change related training scenarios.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Assessing Water Security in the Amu Darya River Basin, Afghanistan
New data and previous studies were used with quantitative analysis to assess Afghanistan's effect on water security in the Amu Darya river basin from 1995 to 2005. An event database constructed from open source news reporting and a geographic information system (GIS) of the basin combined to evaluate the basin's risk for water-related conflict relative to six factors: overall relations; population density, per capita income; freshwater treaty status; internationalization potential of the basin; and water development projects. The thesis evaluated the quantitative techniques employed for their utility in planning, executing, and assessing military operations in relation to water resources. Afghanistan's effect on water security marginally increased the risk of conflict over water while increasing non-water-related levels of cooperation among riparian neighbors. Population density and internationalization potential did not contribute to increased risk, but income level, treaty status, and development projects did contribute to increased risk for conflict. The techniques demonstrated their utility for military planners, principally at the operational and strategic levels as a tool for long-range assessment and monitoring. Tactical utility was found to be limited, but modifications to database and GIS layer development show potential for more use of the techniques in the tactical environment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

An Appeal to save our earth
The global climate change won't start with rising seas.The global climate change won't start with coastal erosion.The real climate change will start with falling yields of crops andfailure of certain trees. It will slowly induce food shortages.When this situation arises, human dignity will be lost in this planet.It will be really nasty.My 4 year effort in writing this book is to avoid this situation.If we do things correctly, we can achieve permanence on our planet.We don't need mass migration. This can be done without losingany convenience.
Earthquake Resistant Design, Analysis and Construction to Registration
Did We not make the earth habitable? And the mountains as pegs? (78:6-7)". The purpose of earthquake resistant design is to allow inelastic deformation and structural damage at preferred locations in the structure without endangering structural integrity and to prevent structural collapse during a major earthquake. In general, most earthquake code provisions implicitly require that structures be able to resista. Minor Earthquakes without any damage.b. Moderate earthquakes without negligible structural damage and some nonstructural damage.c. Major earthquakes with some structural and some nonstructural damage but without collapse. The structure is capable to undergo fairly large deformations by yielding in some members.Each seismic zone coefficient provides expected peak ground acceleration values on rock/firm soil corresponding to the maximum considered earthquake. The design basis earthquake is taken as 2/3 of maximum considered earthquake.A Code designed structure is thought highly unlikely to collapse under ground motion that is one and one half (1.5) times as strong as the design earthquake ground motion.
Nordic Climate Histories
Down the centuries, the people of the Nordic countries have confronted challenges from climatic variability and change and sought ways to survive and adapt. In a time of accelerating global warming, these climate histories take on new contemporary significance. Drawing on tools from the natural and historical sciences, the innovative scholarship in this volume addresses questions such as: How did Nordic societies cope with past climatic hazards? What was the historical significance of the 'Little Ice Age' or the 'Medieval Climate Anomaly' for Nordic countries? And how do we study, narrate and learn from these past experiences?This volume is the first to collect climate histories from across all the Nordic countries. It combines research from climatologists, historians, archaeologists and museologists to explore how climate and culture interacted in the past and what we might learn from these interactions today.The chapters range from in-depth case studies to reflexive meta-histories; cover periods from the Bronze Age to the present; and draw on sources from tree rings to material culture to poetry. They also discuss how these histories can be communicated today, including how museums and literature can bring them into conversation with a current audience looking for lived experiences of climate adaptation.The volume was conceived during an international conference at the University of Oslo in May 2024. This interdisciplinary forum connected leading scholars in the field with practitioners and stakeholders. The essays presented here engage a rapidly growing field of intense public and political concern in the Nordics and beyond.The book speaks to various academic communities (climatology, history, literature) and stakeholders (museum practitioners, climate communicators and advocates). It includes the growing research and student community invested in this topic across several disciplines, practitioners and communicators in the field and the wider public interested in the vibrant debates about climate adaptation and experience.
Microseismic Monitoring and Stability Analysis of Large Rock Mass Engineering
Comment on the Correct Physical Value of the Gravitational Constant
It is widely believed that the gravitational constant G is difficult to measure with any degree of precision, due to the tiny magnitude and difficulty in shielding experimental apparatuses. Most scientists also believe that G cannot be derived in terms of other more precisely known physical constants. In his book, scientist Ronald Sherrod seeks to disprove these notions. Sherrod will show, by numerical analysis, an indirect pathway for relating G to other physical constants such that it can be evaluated. Thinking outside the box, Sherrod attempts to break through those barriers scientists have put up concerning G. About the AuthorRonald Sherrod is a retired member of the scientific community. He is currently a member of the ResearchGate community of scientists and is actively working on methods of carbon entrapment in regards to climate change. Sherrod resides in San Jose, California.
