    • Physically-based Parameterization of Spatially Variable Soil and Vegetation Using Satellite Multispectral Data 

      Jasinski, Michael F.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-09)
      A stochastic-geometric landsurface reflectance model is formulated and tested for the parameterization of spatially variable vegetation and soil at subpixel scales using satellite multispectral images without ground truth. ...

    • Technology and Policy Issues Involved in the Boston Harbor Cleanup 

      Morrissey, Shawn P.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, 1989-11)
      Introduction: Throughout history, disposing of human wastes has been a problem. In the late 1800's, when communities began to flourish, it was generally believed that human waste was the source of many diseases. The principal ...

    • A Physically Based Channel Network and Catchment Evolution Model 

      Willgoose, Garry; Bras, Rafael L.; Rodriguez-Iturbe, Ignacio (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989-06)
      A catchment evolution and channel network growth model is presented. Elevations within the catchment are simulated by a sediment transport continuity equation applied over geologic time. Sediment transport may by modelled ...
