Oil Spill in Northern Waters: Trial Outcomes and the Long-Term in Case of the Exxon Valdez
Published 2014-04-01“…Because commercial fishermen and Alaska natives were the two main plaintiff groups, this case provides an interesting side-by-side comparison of a market and a nonmarket sector that both utilize the same raw resource base – the fisheries of Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. The analysis here examines the valuation methodologies from the standpoint of economic theory, regulatory guidelines, the court’s numerous decisions concerning what was admissible into evidence, and the respective outcomes – a jury decision and a settlement just prior to trial. …”

Creating high-resolution bare-earth digital elevation models (DEMs) from stereo imagery in an area of densely vegetated deciduous forest using combinations of procedures designed f...
Published 2017-07-01“…This study explores the use of techniques designed for filtering lidar point clouds to mitigate the elevation artifacts caused by above ground features, within the context of a case study of Prince William Forest Park, Virginia, USA. The influences of land cover and leaf-on vs. leaf-off conditions are investigated, and the accuracy of the raw photogrammetric DSM extracted from leaf-on imagery was between that of a lidar bare-earth DEM and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission DEM. …”

Modeling Sea Ice Effects for Wave Energy Resource Assessments
Published 2021-06-01“…The sea ice parametrization decreases the bias and root mean square errors of wave height comparisons with two wave buoys and predicts a decrease in the wave power of up to 100 kW/m in areas around Prince William Sound, Alaska. The magnitude of the improvement of the model/buoy comparison depends on the coefficients used to parameterize the wave–ice interaction.…”

Structural Heterogeneity in Source Zones of the 2018 Anchorage Intraslab Earthquake and the 1964 Alaska Megathrust Earthquake
Published 2020-03-01“…Two areas with long‐term slow slip events in the Upper and Lower Cook Inlet predominantly exhibit a high Poisson's ratio in the lowermost portion of the crust and the cold nose of the mantle wedge, whereas a low Poisson's ratio zone is revealed between them, suggesting that their segmentation is possibly related to localized slab‐releasing fluids. In the Prince William Sound, the rupture of the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake initiated beneath a high‐V and high Poisson's ratio zone of the overlying crust and the large slips occurred beneath a low‐Vs and high Poisson's ratio zone, suggesting that lateral heterogeneities of the overriding plate may have played an important role in the nucleation and rupture processes of the Great Alaska earthquake.…”
