Forecasting wheat yields in Australia with the Southern Oscillation Index
(CSIRO Publishing, 1992-12)Wheat yields in Australia have been correlated with values of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), an index of a major climatic phenomenon known to affect Australian rainfall. The SOI provides the basis for the seasonal ... -
Fracture orientations in Kansas and relations to mountain building
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)In efforts to discern the space-time relationships between fracture formation [low-strain brittle deformation in the Earth's upper crust] and other geologic structures [folds and faults] in the mid-Continent region, field ... -
Fracture pattern and stratigraphic analysis of the niobraraequivalent Cody Shale, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming
(Wichita State University, 2020-05)Unconventional shale resources have become a significant focus of petroleum exploration and production in North America over the past few decades, and recent USGS assessments of unconventional targets include the Cody ... -
Genetics and adaptation in landscapes
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)So far in this book, we have looked at populations as if all the individuals comprising them were interchangeable. In reality, this is not so. Walk through an unmown meadow and you will see that different plants of the ... -
