- Description:
- The Brune source model is widely used in studies of complex earthquakes with multiple episodes of high moment release (i.e., multiple subevents). In this study, we investigate how corner frequency estimates of earthquakes with multiple subevents are biased if they are based on the Brune source model. By assuming complex sources as a sum of multiple Brune sources, we analyze 1,640 source time functions (STFs) of Mw 5.5-8.0 earthquakes in the SCARDEC catalog to estimate the corner frequencies, onset times, and seismic moments of subevents. We identify more subevents for strike-slip earthquakes than dip-slip earthquakes, and the number of resolvable subevents increases with magnitude. We find that earthquake corner frequency correlates best with the corner frequency of the subevent with the highest moment release (i.e., the largest subevent). This suggests that, when the Brune model is used, the estimated corner frequency and therefore the stress drop of a complex earthquake is determined primarily by the largest subevent rather than the total rupture area. and Our results imply that the stress variation of asperities, rather than the average stress change of the whole fault, contributes to the large variance of stress drop estimates.

- Description:
- This study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design that included qualitative data in the form of focus group discussions (FGDs), individual interviews, quantitative data retrieved from logbook reviews, and geo-location data collected through geographic information systems (GIS). Focus group discussions were conducted with community members, including chiefs, community leaders, women of reproductive age, traditional birth attendants (TBAs), women currently staying at a MWH, and male partners. Individual interviews were conducted with healthcare providers (midwives, registered nurses, and officers in charge) providing services at the rural primary healthcare facilities associated with a MWH. Logbook registries at rural health facilities with a MWH were reviewed to capture MWH usage. Additionally, each MWH was geo-located for purposes of geo-visualization.

- Description:
- Coastal wetlands intercept significant amounts of nitrogen (N) from watersheds, especially when surrounding land cover is dominated by agriculture and urban development. Through plant uptake, soil immobilization, and denitrification wetlands can remove excess N from flow through water sources and mitigate eutrophication of connected aquatic ecosystems. Excess N can also change plant community composition in wetlands, including communities threatened by invasive species. Understanding how variable hydrology and N loading impact wetland N removal and community composition can help attain desired management outcomes, including optimizing N removal and/or preventing invasion by non-natives. By using a dynamic, process-based ecosystem simulation model, we are able to simulate various levels of hydrology and N loading that would otherwise be difficult to manipulate. We investigate the effects of hydroperiod, hydrologic residence time, N loading, and the NH4+:NO3- ratio on both N removal and the invasion success of two non-native species (Typha x glauca or Phragmites australis) in temperate freshwater coastal wetlands using Mondrian, a process-based, wetland ecosystem simulation model. We found that when residence time increased, annual N removal increased up to 10-fold while longer hydroperiods also increased N removal, but only when residence time was >10 days and N loading was >30 g N m-2 y-1. N removal efficiency also increased with increasing residence time and hydroperiod, but was less affected by N loading. However, longer hydrologic residence time increased vulnerability of wetlands to invasion by both invasive plants at low to medium N loading rates where native communities are typically more resistant to invasion. This suggests a potential tradeoff between ecosystem services related to nitrogen removal and wetland invasibility. These results help elucidate complex interactions of community composition, N loading and hydrology on N removal, helping managers to prioritize N removal when N loading is high or controlling plant invasion in more vulnerable wetlands.
