Applications of TLS and related methods in the environmental sciences

An overview of statistical and computational techniques used in the solution of environmental problems is presented. The applications presented involve: (1)(1) the fitting of Horton's infiltration curve using real data from field experiments performed in Surinam; (2) linear and nonlinear rainfall–runoff modeling using real data from watersheds in Louisiana and Belgium; (3) real-time monitoring and forecasting of a network of chemical sensors using real data from Fall Creek Reservoir in Indiana; (4) forecasting of hourly water consumption in Indiana; and (5) the exponential fitting of a sum of AM and FM tones used to model a chirp signal of a Coquí frog from Puerto Rico.
