Real-time environmental monitoring platform for wellness and preventive care in a smart and sustainable city with an urban landscape perspective : the case of developing countries
(2022)
Smart and sustainable communities seek to ensure comfortable and sustainable quality of life for community residents, the environment and the landscape. Pollution is a key factor affecting quality of life within a community. ...
Optimization of the synthesis of activated carbon prepared from Sargassum (sp.) and its use for tetracycline, penicillin, caffeine and methylene blue adsorption from contaminated water
(2022)
This study was carried out to determine the optimal conditions for synthesizing activated carbon (AC) derived from invasive Sargassum (sp) for the efficient adsorption of emerging micropollutants [i.e. caffeine (Caf), ...
Development of predictive models for water budget simulations of closed-basin lakes : case studies of Lakes Azuei and Enriquillo on the Island of Hispaniola
(2021)
The historical water level fluctuations of the two neighboring Caribbean lakes of Azuei (LA) and Enriquillo (LE) on Hispaniola have shown random periods of synchronous and asynchronous behaviors, with both lakes exhibiting ...
Accuracy assessment of ASTER, SRTM, ALOS, and TDX DEMs for Hispaniola and implications for mapping vulnerability to coastal flooding
(2019)
Digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from remote sensing data provide a valuable and consistent data source for mapping coastal flooding at local and global scales. Mapping of flood risk requires quantification of the ...
Water and energy balance model GOES-PRWEB : development and validation
(2021)
In 2009, the University of Alabama-Huntsville configured their GOES satellited-based solar radiation product to include Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands (USVI), Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba. These data ...
Reefs from space : satellite imagery, marine ecology, and ethnography in the Dominican Republic
(1994)
Coral reef bleaching is an obvious indication that coastal marine ecosystems are being stressed. However, bleached reefs alone are poor indicators because they reflect the final stages of stress. This research project used ...
