The role of landscape morphology on soil moisture variability in semi-arid ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article

Previous studies on semi-arid ecosystems have shown high values of soil moisture variability (SMV) primarily induced by the combined effects of non-uniform precipitation, incoming solar radiation, and soil and vegetation properties. However, the rela... Read More about The role of landscape morphology on soil moisture variability in semi-arid ecosystems.

Impact of low NOx strategies on holistic emission reduction from a CI engine over transient conditions (2020)
Journal Article

The use of biofuels to replace fossil fuels as well as more stringent emission regulations for internal combustion engines cause a challenge for the engine manufacturers to build engines that can cope with a wide range of fuels, but still offer low e...
