Papers

80 research notes across 7 domains: seismology, space weather, climate, hydrology, and the cross-domain clustering work that connects them.

Most of this is unfinished. 2 of 80 have a written paper; 75 have a figure. The rest are notes with an abstract and a method, and each one carries its own status below.

The work

Studies with a figure or a paper, most recent first.

Figure from If Hail Falls in the US, How Big Is It?

If Hail Falls in the US, How Big Is It?

draft research

Seventy-one years of measured NCEI hail reports: size, place, season, and the counties where big hail returns every year, 1955-2025.

Figure from Storm Nights, Counted

Storm Nights, Counted

draft space-weather

How many nights a year the planetary Kp index reaches geomagnetic storm level, 1932-2025.

Figure from Drought Relief Gap

Drought Relief Gap

draft climate

Measured drought severity against FEMA disaster declarations, 2000-2024.

Figure from Crop Damage: Nature's Number-One Offender

Crop Damage: Nature's Number-One Offender

draft-complete-pending-hed-dek research

Which perils account for measured US crop damage, in what proportion, and how does loss per event differ?

Figure from The Truth about Skinwalker Ranch: Phase 1 Baseline

The Truth about Skinwalker Ranch: Phase 1 Baseline

withdrawn research

Local baseline characterization of the geographic environment at Skinwalker Ranch (40.2549°N, -109.8864°W). Phase 1 of GitHub issue #222.

Figure from Bz → Dst predictive lead-time: Granger causality on solar-wind driver vs ring-current response

Bz → Dst predictive lead-time: Granger causality on solar-wind driver vs ring-current response

withdrawn cross-domain

How many hours does southward IMF Bz lead Dst-index minima, and is the predictive relationship Granger-causal? Pure space-weather predictability test on TerraPulse's 71-day Bz/Dst overlap window.

Figure from PMA: CNEOS fireball day-of-year vs. meteor-shower calendar (1998-2026)

PMA: CNEOS fireball day-of-year vs. meteor-shower calendar (1998-2026)

accepted space-weather

CNEOS fireball day-of-year tested against 12 named meteor shower peaks. Clean null after deduplication: Schuster p=0.22, zero showers survive Bonferroni at any window width. Detection floor at N=355 is rate ratio >=1.96 (Bonferroni-12); optical-bolide Geminid ratios of 1.3-1.5 are below the floor.

Figure from AQI Anomaly Characterization Across 10 Global Cities

AQI Anomaly Characterization Across 10 Global Cities

complete research

Cluster >3sigma AQI anomaly days across 10 cities by their constituent-pollutant signatures (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, CO).

Figure from Safecast background radiation vs solar Forbush decreases: V2 of /articles/solar-watch-april-2026

Safecast background radiation vs solar Forbush decreases: V2 of /articles/solar-watch-april-2026

withdrawn space-weather

Do ground-level Safecast background-radiation measurements show a measurable depression during Forbush decreases (galactic-cosmic-ray flux reductions following CME shock arrivals)?

Figure from WSPR corridor SNR vs continuous solar wind Bz: natural V3 of #132

WSPR corridor SNR vs continuous solar wind Bz: natural V3 of #132

withdrawn space-weather

V3 follow-up to #132. Continuous-driver framing replaces small-N storm catalog with daily Bz signal on ~180 daily WSPR corridor samples.

Figure from PMA #132 cross-protocol V2: WSPR Kp catalog under per-storm-delta protocol

PMA #132 cross-protocol V2: WSPR Kp catalog under per-storm-delta protocol

withdrawn research

Cross-protocol V2 of PMA #132. Holds input data and Kp event catalog constant with #132 V1; swaps only the analytical protocol to match PMA #82's per-storm scalar-delta one-sample t/Wilcoxon with Bonferroni over 4 corridors. Isolates which of four methodological factors drives the #82 (Bonferroni-significant POLAR -0.29 dB on Dst, 6yr, N=200) vs #132 V1 (clean null on Kp, 6.5mo, N=26) divergence.
