  • Precipitation Partitioning by Vegetation: A Global Synthesis by John T. Van Stan II, Ethan Gutmann, and Jan Friesen

    Precipitation Partitioning by Vegetation: A Global Synthesis

    John T. Van Stan II, Georgia Southern University; Ethan Gutmann, National Center for Atmospheric Research; and Jan Friesen, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research

    1-2-2020

    This book presents research on precipitation partitioning processes in vegetated ecosystems, putting them into a global context. It describes the processes by which meteoric water comes into contact with the vegetation's canopy, typically the first surface contact of precipitation on land. It also discusses how precipitation partitioning by vegetation impacts the amount, patterning, and chemistry of water reaching the surface, as well as the amount and timing of evaporative return to the atmosphere. Although this process has been extensively studied, this is the first review of the global literature on the partitioning of precipitation by forests, shrubs, crops, grasslands and ... Read more

  • Wrack & Ruin: A Tale of Tortured Trees by John T. Van Stan II; Albertus Tyasseta; and Siloy, Graphic Artist

    Wrack & Ruin: A Tale of Tortured Trees

    John T. Van Stan II, Georgia Southern University; Albertus Tyasseta, Graphic Designer; and Siloy, Graphic Artist

    6-4-2020

    Here, we visit a community of trees living along the Georgia coast, just above the high tide line, on a little lump of sand called a "hammock." This hammock plant community is battered by a hurricane. The plants that survive soon realize that they have fallen prey to a hydrological torture wrack - one composed of the salty corpses of their neighboring marsh plants (Spartina alterniflora). This sci comic is based on the publication, "Wrack and ruin: Legacy hydrologic effects of hurricane-deposited wrack..." (https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7620/ab9527).

  • Differential Equations with Mathematica by Martha L. Abell and James P. Braselton

    Differential Equations with Mathematica

    Martha L. Abell, Georgia Southern University and James P. Braselton, Georgia Southern University

    9-13-2016

    Differential Equations with Mathematica, Fourth Edition is a supplementing reference which uses the fundamental concepts of the popular platform to solve (analytically, numerically, and/or graphically) differential equations of interest to students, instructors, and scientists.

    Mathematica’s diversity makes it particularly well suited to performing calculations encountered when solving many ordinary and partial differential equations. In some cases, Mathematica’s built-in functions can immediately solve a differential equation by providing an explicit, implicit, or numerical solution. In other cases, mathematica can be used to perform the calculations encountered when solving a differential equation.

    Because one goal of elementary differential equations courses is to ... Read more
