Abstract Long‐range water planning is complicated by factors that are rapidly changing in the 21st century, including climate, population, and use. Here, we analyze climate drought projections for Texas as an example of a diverse society straddling aridity gradient to examine how can best serve stakeholder needs. We find models robust projecting drying summer‐season soil moisture decreasing reservoir supplies both eastern western portions during century. Further, indicate drier conditions...
Large-scale automatic speech translation systems today lack key features that help machine-mediated communication feel seamless when compared to human-to-human dialogue. In this work, we introduce a family of models enable end-to-end expressive and multilingual translations in streaming fashion. First, contribute an improved version the massively multimodal SeamlessM4T model-SeamlessM4T v2. This newer model, incorporating updated UnitY2 framework, was trained on more low-resource language...
Brush removal is commonly conducted to increase water availability in arid areas, such as central Texas, where resources are stressed. The effectiveness of brush clearing enhance recharge, however, remains uncertain numerous studies have yielded contradictory results. This study assesses the effects on recharge a cave at Natural Bridge Caverns, Texas by evaluating changes drip rate, compositions, air CO 2 concentrations, and calcite growth underlying an area cleared brush. Drip sites were...
Abstract We investigate climate dynamics and teleconnections governing moisture transport to the western U.S. during past warm cool intervals of last deglaciation using paleoclimate simulations Bølling (~14 ka) Younger Dryas (~12 events. Results suggest that waning continental ice sheet weakened atmospheric pressure centers in region leading a progression from more sinuous zonal Pacific winter storm track throughout deglaciation. Furthermore, variations meltwater flux Atlantic influenced...
Permafrost thaw decreased over the Pleistocene yet had little apparent effect on interglacial greenhouse gas concentrations.

Abstract Understanding the nature of communication between aquifers can be challenging when using traditional physical and geochemical groundwater sampling approaches. This study uses two multiport wells completed within Edwards Trinity in central Texas to determine degree inter‐flow adjacent aquifers. Potentiometric surfaces, hydraulic conductivities, major ion concentrations Sr isotope values were measured from multiple zones three hydrostratigraphic units (Edwards Upper Middle aquifers)....
The Barton Springs zone, which comprises the segment of Edwards aquifer and watersheds to west that contribute its recharge, is in south-central Texas, an area with rapid growth population increasing amounts land affected by development. During November 2008-March 2010, investigation factors affecting fate transport nutrients bacteria zone was conducted U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), cooperation Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. primary objectives study were characterize occurrence...

Assessing performance in Natural Language Processing is becoming increasingly complex. One particular challenge the potential for evaluation datasets to overlap with training data, either directly or indirectly, which can lead skewed results and overestimation of model performance. As a consequence, human gaining increasing interest as means assess reliability models. such method red teaming approach, aims generate edge cases where will produce critical errors. While this methodology...
David Hockney is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in contemporary art, celebrated for his groundbreaking approaches and innovative methods that have reshaped artistic practices modern era. Spanning a diverse range media, including painting, photography, digital technologies, Hockney's work demonstrates masterful command color, space, visual perception. His creations are characterized by their ability to challenge traditional conventions, offering fresh interpretations...
