Automatic feature selection and weighting for the formation of homogeneous groups for regional IDF estimation
(Elsevier, 2019-08)The intensity-duration frequency (IDF) curve has been used as an effective tool to quantify the risk associated with the impact of extreme rainfall on civil infrastructure. However, recent changes in the rainfall climatology ... -
Event Based Characterization of Hydrologic Change in Urbanizing Southern Ontario Watersheds via High Resolution Stream Gauge Data
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-05)Tracking and quantifying hydrologic change in urbanizing watersheds is a complex problem which can vary spatially and temporally throughout the effective catchment area as change occurs. Hydromodification due to urbanization ... -
Impacts of Hydromodification and Sediment Supply Alterations on Bedload Transport and Bed Morphology in Urbanizing Gravel-bed Rivers
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)Urbanization is known to change the hydrologic and sediment supply regimes of rivers, causing more frequent, flashier flood events (hydromodification) and a reduction and redistribution of sediment sources. Presently, the ... -
Spatial and Temporal Trends in Water Quality in a Mixed-Use Landscape: Agriculture vs. Urban Areas
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-22)The eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is a growing water quality concern as it can promote the proliferation of harmful algal blooms that have severe environmental, health, and economic impacts. In United States alone, ...
