Temperature Assessment on a Reclaimed Surface Mine During Northern Bobwhite Breeding Season: Considerations for Habitat Management

Ground-level air temperatures were assessed within 4 distinct habitat areas on a managed reclaimed surface mine at Peabody Wildlife Management Area, Kentucky, 26 June–17 July 2015, during the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) brood season. Habitat consisted of disked and nondisked areas of native grass and an invasive species, sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata). Disked areas offered more open space for bobwhite mobility and experienced higher average temperatures than nondisked sites. Although statistically significant, differences in air temperature between disked and nondisked areas were likely too small to have practical implications for bobwhite habitat management in Kentucky under current climatic conditions. This will likely change in the future as the regional climate warms and periods of excessive heat are more likely to occur. Consequently, managers may want to consider microclimate when making management decisions

Urban Heat Islands: Observations, Impacts, and Adaptation

Urban heat islands are a clear, well-documented example of an anthropogenic modification to climate that has an atmospheric, biological, and economic impact. This review shows how field-based and modeling studies continue to help unravel the factors that are responsible for heat island development and are providing a basis for the development and application of sustainable adaptation strategies. As urban areas continue to expand, there is a heightened awareness that scientific knowledge of the urban heat island must be more effectively communicated to architects, engineers, and planners and translated into intelligent urban design. Green roof technology is a case in point. This and other technologies are being slowly adopted, and research published since 2003 suggests that the pace with which many practical applications are put into practice should accelerate

Programmable Hand Calculator Programs For Pumping And Injection Wells: II — Constant Pumping (Injection) Rate, Single Fully Penetrating Well, Semiconfined Aquifer

Programmable calculator programs have been previously given for the calculation of head or pressure change resulting from the pumping from or injection into wells completely penetrating a fully confined aquifer. Programs are documented and example calculations shown here for wells completely penetrating a semiconfined aquifer. The programs are for the TI 59 card programmable calculator.

Programmable Hand Calculator Programs For Pumping And Injection Wells: I — Constant Or Variable Pumping (Injection) Rate, Single Or Multiple Fully Penetrating Wells

Small programmable calculators have recently become available that will allow many routine pumping or injection well calculations to be made rapidly, accurately and inexpensively. Programs and example calculations are given for the exponential integral and multiple well‐multiple rate pumping or injection well equations using water well and oilfield units. The programs are for the TI 59 card programmable calculator. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserve

Programmable Hand Calculator Programs For Pumping And Injection Wells: III — Constant Pumping (Injection) Rate, Fully Confined Aquifer, Partially Penetrating Well

Programmable calculator programs have been given previously for the calculation of head or pressure change resulting from the pumping from or injection into wells completely penetrating fully confined or semiconfined aquifers. Programs are documented here for wells partially penetrating a fully confined aquifer. The programs are for the TI 59 card programmable calculator. Copyright © 1980, Wiley Blackwell.
