Abstract:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the difference of crop and livestock products regarding energy balances, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, carbon economic efficiency, and water use efficiency using a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology on farms in three sub-oases within the Shihezi Oasis of China. The three sub-oases were selected within the Gobi Desert, at Shizongchang (SZC), Xiayedi (XYD), and Mosuowan (MSW), to represent the various local oasis types: i. Oasis; ii. overlapping oasis-desert; and iii. Gobi oasis. The results indicated that crop production in XYD Oasis had higher energy balances (221.47 GJ/ha), and a net energy ratio (5.39), than in the other two oases (p < 0.01). The production of 1 kg CW of sheep in XYD Oasis resulted in significantly higher energy balances (18.31 MJ/kg CW), and an energy ratio (2.21), than in the other two oases (p < 0.01). The water use efficiency of crop production in the SZC Oasis was lower than that of the XYD and MSW oases (p < 0.05). Alfalfa production generated the lowest CO2-eq emissions (8.09 Mg CO2-eq/ha. year) and had the highest water use efficiency (45.82 MJ/m3). Alfalfa (1.18 ¥/kg CO2-eq) and maize (1.14 ¥/kg CO2-eq) had a higher carbon economic efficiency than other crops (p < 0.01). The main sources of GHG emissions for crop production were fertilizer and irrigation. The structural equation modelling (SEM) of agricultural systems in the Shihezi Oasis showed that the livestock category significantly influenced the economic income, energy, and carbon balances.

Abstract:
Abstract We used data on breeding bird communities of the oases of southern Tunisia to investigate variation in species richness and composition among local communities in relation to spatial configuration of the oasis system and to assess significance of the relationship between oasis size and local richness. Oases could be grouped into three regional systems, namely littoral, saharan, and mountainous oases. We found that at the scale of the entire oasis system, species richness and species composition exhibited significant spatial autocorrelation. That result was consistent with our prediction that the particular spatial organization of oases may have led to regional differences in availability of potential colonizers and that higher species exchange within oasis zones than among oasis zones may have played an important role in shaping local communities. With regard to the species–area relationship, we thus found that a model accounting for spatial covariance was more parsimonious than a standard regression model not incorporating information on the spatial location of oases. Overall, oasis size was a good predictor of species richness, but results were sensitive to spatial scale at which the relationship was examined. Aside from oceanic islands and forest patches, oases may constitute interesting systems to study how regional processes affect local diversity.

Abstract:
An oasis is a unique landscape that fuels human subsistence and socioeconomic development in the desert ecosystem. However, the overexpansion of oases, especially farmlands, poses severe threats to available land and water resources. This study aims to assess the expansion levels, carrying capacity dynamics, and planting structure optimization to maximize economic returns in northwest China’s five Typical Oasis Groups (5TOGs) using uniform data sources, time scales, and methods. Satellite products and a water-heat balance model were used to evaluate the changes in the area and carrying capacity dynamics of the 5TOGs. A linear programming approach was used to optimize each oasis’s cropping structure for the carrying level scenario. The results showed that the area of 5TOGs has expanded from 1980–2020, and the increment of oasis farmland is the main driver of oasis expansion. The most dramatic expansion of oases and their farmlands occurred during 2010–2020. As a consequence, the carrying capacity of each oasis is deteriorating with this expansion. The additional water resources to support this expansion of the oases and their farmlands come from groundwater, which is declining rapidly. Based on the optimized planting structure, cotton remains the main crop in Xinjiang oases with more than 60% area, the cotton area should be reduced in the Hotan River Oases, and the planting structure of the Heihe River Oasis will remain unchanged. The findings of this study have provided a quantitative analysis of oasis expansion and planting structure optimization, which have practical implications for water resource management and sustainable development of agriculture to maintain the stability of the oasis ecosystem.

Abstract:
Evapotranspiration plays a decisive role in the whole oasis ecosystem and is an important factor to maintain the ecological stability of oases. To quantitatively analyze the evapotranspiration differences of oases at different scales and the expansion of urbanization, it is necessary to compare and discuss them at different time scales. In this study, the spatial and temporal characteristics of evapotranspiration of Zhangye Oasis, Jinta Oasis, and Ejina Oasis in the Heihe River basin were analyzed by using the remote sensing dataset of daily surface evapotranspiration of 100 m resolution from 2010 to 2016. The difference in evapotranspiration intensity in different oases was analyzed, and the influences of irrigation and urbanization expansion on evapotranspiration were discussed. The conclusion is as follows: Zhangye Oasis is the largest oasis in the area and, compared with other oases, due to the largest proportion of wetland and farmland in the underlying surface, the intensity of evapotranspiration is also the largest, reaching 650 mm/year on average. There is no obvious annual change; the range of evapotranspiration changes fluctuates between positive and negative 60 mm/year. Jinta Oasis began to decline after 2012; the evapotranspiration value dropped from 620 mm/tear to 560 mm/year, while Ejina Oasis showed a slight increase after 2014. In the irrigation stage, the evapotranspiration intensity increased significantly. Especially in the peak season of crop growth, the evapotranspiration after irrigation increased by 4 mm/day compared with that before irrigation. The evapotranspiration in urban and oasis areas is different in summer: compare that of 2010 with 2016—the evapotranspiration intensity of the expanding towns in the northeast direction decreased by about 50 mm/month, the northwest expanding towns decreased by about 110 mm/month. There was no obvious annual change in evapotranspiration in the urban area. With the expansion of urbanization, the evapotranspiration intensity in oases decreased. The results of this study provide some reference for the study of oasis irrigation activities and urbanization expansion.

Abstract:
The main objective of this work is to calculate the suitable scale of the Ejina Oasis in different scenarios (high-, normal-, and low-flow years), assess the stability of the Ejina Oasis, and, finally, accurately determine if an artificial oasis area and total oasis area need to be reduced or increased. Using the water balance method, we calculated the suitable scale of the artificial Ejina Oasis as 767.80, 624.00, and 451.33 km2 in high-, normal-, and low-flow years, respectively. By utilizing the water-heat balance method combined with an assessment of the present stability of the Ejina Oasis, the results showed that in high-flow years, the suitable scale of the Ejina Oasis is 1174–1762 km2, and the stability index of the current oasis is 0.55. In normal-flow years, the suitable scale of the Ejina Oasis is found to be 915–1373 km2, and the stability index of the current oasis is 0.43. In low-flow years, the suitable scale of the Ejina Oasis is 590–885 km2, and the stability index of the current oasis decreases to 0.27. In order to further improve the stability of oases, it remains necessary to control the scale of oases to cope with water resource shortages that result from water resource instability under climate change. The present study’s findings will enable optimal water-use planning decisions that take social, economic, and ecological issues into account, and provide the foundation for optimal decision-making for regional administrative departments to effectively coordinate regional economic development, farmland protection, environmental protection, and water resource protection.

Abstract:
Oases throughout the world have become important ecosystems to replenish food and water supplies. The Saharan Oases exist above the largest underground water supplies in the World. In North Africa, oases witness significantly growing populations in the oasis towns and receive thousands of tourists yearly. In oasis settlements, the majority of the population spends most of the time outdoors, in extremely hot conditions; however, few studies have investigated urban outdoor thermal comfort conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to assess thermal comfort in the Tolga Oasis Complex and test the validity of the ‘oasis effect’ concept. The methodology is based on comparative field measurement and calculation approaches in the heart of Tolga Palm Grove and in different urban settlements. Results indicate highest heat stress levels (Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) index) in the oases Palm Grove in July, PET = 41.7 °C, and urban settlements, PET = 40.9 °C. Despite the significant difference between the old and new settlement fabrics, our measurements and calculation did not identify any noticeable variation of thermal comfort. Thus, the oasis effect on the outdoor thermal comfort was insignificant (during July and August 2018). Finally, the study discusses ways to improve outdoor spaces design and relieve heat stress in the settlements of Tolga.

Abstract:
This article examines the oases that appeared on the inhabited continents of the planet. Historically, in the desert regions formed two main types of irrigated agriculture - small oasis and large oasis. Small oasis farming as a geographical type is developed in the vicinity of small water sources (small streams, streams, springs) in the foothills and in areas where deserts are flooded, groundwater leaks, temporarily adjacent to runoff. The fields of different sizes within the oases made them look like dry sheets, while at the same time showing property and legal inequality.

Abstract:
Oases support human activities in arid and semiarid regions, and their stability is important for regional sustainable development and water resource management. Water consumption is the major factor affecting the stability of oases. On the basis of remote sensing images, evaporation and socioeconomic data, this study first evaluates the stability of the Dunhuang Oasis against the expansion of an oasis irrigation district and planting structure changes from 1987 to 2015. Next, it calculates a suitable area of the oasis irrigation district using water–energy balance theory. The results are as follows: (1) During the 1987–2015 period, with the expansion in the oasis irrigation area, the planting structure underwent a marked transformation from food crops to cash crops to orchards. Water consumption pattern likewise changed considerably. (2) The stability of the Dunhuang Oasis continued to weaken from 0.54 in 1987 until it reached a dangerously unstable level of 0.17 in 2010. With the implementation of water-saving measures and a water-transfer project, the stability of the Dunhuang Oasis irrigation district increased to a metastable level of 0.22 in 2015. (3) Setting the stability are 0.5 of a stable level and 0.75 of an extremely stable level, and the oasis irrigation district should be impractical and reduced by 168 and 241 km2 to attain a suitable oasis ecosystem scale. Hence, at present, the water-transfer project is the most practical way to increase allocated water resource to the oasis irrigation district for improving its stability.

Abstract:
Abstract To resist against a hostile environment, the oases of Saoura developed ingenious techniques of catchment and sharing of water to exploit the rare and precious waters of the groundwater. But the intervention of modern irrigation techniques has disrupted the entire oasis system inside the oasis such as the spring, the palm grove and the ksar. These techniques have overexploited the groundwater supplying the palm grove in terms of quantity and quality. For centuries, the oases of Mougheul used only the source (with a flow of 25 dm3∙s−1 in 2001) which is inside the oasis to irrigate the parcels and herds. After the year 2005, the state decided to supply the city of Bechar with drinking water through the catchment field of Mougheul through five modern boreholes, which had a profound impact on the oasis, its surroundings, and the whole artesian source. In this work, we study the impact of the use of modern catchment systems on the water source and the life of the Mougheul population. By interviewing farmers and landowners about the impact of groundwater scarcity on the oasis. This allowed knowing the current state of the oasis and the reasons for its deterioration.

Abstract:
Oases are vital habitat areas for both humans and wild plants and animals in desert areas of arid Northwestern China. The efficient management of oasis water resources, especially groundwater resources, is very important for the environmental sustainability and economic development of the region. Pumping wells play a vital role in the oasis groundwater supply; therefore, optimizing the layout of these wells is essential for water resource management. In this study, we present a novel optimization methodology that implements a genetic algorithm and nonlinear programming model for the layout of pumping wells. The methodology was tested and evaluated in the real oasis case study of Qira Oasis located in southern Xinjiang Province, China. The optimization result shows that only 68 pumping wells are required for irrigation purposes of Qira Oasis, and this layout reduces the number of current pumping wells strongly by 59%. Thus, a large number of pumping wells can be closed to save resources. The optimizing method presented in this research is mathematically general and can be applied to other oasis areas without any obstacles. This method can provide decision-makers and managers with key information to ensure the optimal management and safety of valuable groundwater resources in oases.

Abstract:
The urban heat island, UHI, is a phenomenon that occurs in all cities. This phenomenon is an effect of us humans and the environments we have built. What happens in cities are that they re-emit the suns heat and other energies trapping them in this heat island.  The re-emitting happens through the pavement of the city, lack of greenery, roads and how the city is built and its geometry. Cities with skycrapers and of high density see a greater impact of the urban heat island where the wind flow is reduced and more heat is trapped and stored. The UHI is worst experienced in places with a very hot climate, such as the arid desert climate with extreme temperatures year round, like in the UAE and Dubai.  It is vital to tackle the UHI effect problem, because it puts people at danger. Many lives are shed each year due to heat strokes, that can be reduced if we take this problem into consideration when we design our cities. The UHI effect can be reduced by simple yet effective steps.

As we all know urbanization is happening all around the globe whether we like it or not and India is no exception. During our visit to India and Ahmedabad we got to see this up close, one thing I saw that stuck in my head was that of a small child covered in dirt playing  beside a busy road where the family was living under a makeshift tent made of tarp and scavenged materials . This together with all the pollution and dust from the traffic made the whole scene feel like something out of Mad max movie. My project aims to deal with these families of rural immigrants and the issues and challenges they face when moving from the rural to the city and their initial time in the city before finding their place.  The issues I have chosen to focus on is dwelling, networking and finding a job.

TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓN
Chile es un lugar con una gran diversidad de paisajes y uno de los países más diversos en cuanto a climas, en donde el desierto de Atacama es uno de los destinos más cotizados y recomendados a nivel mundial según medios internacionales (VER ANEXO 11). En estos parajes del desierto de Atacama se encuentra la localidad de Pica, oasis emplazado en medio de dicho desierto en la región de Tarapacá en donde la agricultura de especies exóticas como mangos de Indochina, limones de México, palmeras datileras de Marruecos han sido cultivos exitosos debido al clima en esa zona, ya que son especies que necesitan muchas horas de sol. A quince minutos del oasis de Pica (VER ANEXO 1) se encuentra el oasis Esmeralda que es parte de los sub oasis que hay alrededor de toda la Pampa del Tamarugal. Oasis Esmeralda es una estación agrícola experimental fundada por CORFO en los años setenta introduciendo distintas especies exóticas (mangos, distintos tipos de cítricos, aloe vera, palmeras datileras, entre otros). Su superficie plantada es de veinte hectáreas. Actualmente, este oasis está orientado a la explotación agrícola sobre todo de producción de mango (variedad Pica que es uno de los más exitosos) y de limón de Pica con denominación geográfica protegida. Este oasis es manejado de manera orgánica utilizando prácticas agrícolas sustentables en donde no incluya químicos de ningún tipo; es decir la misma naturaleza tiene su propio control de plagas, ocupando como fertilizante compost, mulch (desechos de hojas) y lombrices. Por lo que sus productos son diferenciados en esta zona. Este oasis es parte de la empresa familiar de los hoteles Terrado, adquirida el año 1995 por la belleza en donde está emplazado este oasis en pleno desierto, su plantación de quinientas palmeras datileras y la explotación orgánica de frutales exóticos hacen que este oasis sea único en el norte de Chile en donde la necesidad de una hotelería de buen nivel lo hace inminente.

Abstract:
Placés en plein milieu aride tunisien, Mareth et ses oasis ont connu un changement social important. D'un nomadisme dominant dans les époques lointaines de l'histoire à une sédentarisation complètement achevée de nos jours, en passant par le semi-nomadisme influencé par les aléas climatiques et les conditions du milieu, la région en question semble être un cas représentatif de l'évolution sociale dans les régions arides. Dans ces dernières, l'interaction milieu naturel et population est omniprésente dans le changement qui intervient aussi bien dans le champ biophysique que dans l'espace social et humain. Mais la "comparaison d'univers historiques" et la "mise en relation de phénomènes sélectionnés" ont déterminé qu'il existe une complémentarité entre les deux et que l'évolution n'est pas "linéaire et inéluctable" mais dépend d'un développement variable répondant intimement à une dynamique de transformation durable. En conséquence, au niveau social, la relation qui s'impose continuellement entre nomadisme, sédentarisation et migration constitue l'aspect fondamental du changement dans ce milieu. Ce groupe de phénomènes est constamment lié aux transformations du milieu naturel dans un processus continu d'impacts d'interactions où les acteurs sont contraints d'adapter leur action en milieu local en fonction de divers rapports établis avec d'autres espaces dont les dimensions sont plus globales et universelles. Toutefois, dans l'état actuel des choses, la supposition d'une sorte de cohérence entre ce que l'on peut appeler le "social" et le "naturel" en milieu aride est conditionné par le choix d'options de développement qui doivent tenir compte de tous les aspects du milieu, en l'occurrence culturel
Situated right in the Tunisian arid land, Mareth and its oases has been experimenting an important social change. Passed from a dominant nomadism far back in the past to a semi-nomadism influenced by climatic risks and land conditions, this region seems to be a representative case of social evolution in the arid lands. In these ones, the interaction between natural region and population is omnipresent in the change that is occurring as well in the biophysical field as in the human and social area. But the "comparison of historical universes" and "selected phenomena put into relation" have determined that a complementarity exists between both and that evolution is not "linear and ineluctable" but is depending on development variability closely linked to durable dynamic transformation. Accordingly, as a result, in the social level, the relation that continually imposes itself between nomadism, settling process and migration constitute the fundamental aspect in this land. This group of phenomena is constantly related with natural transformation in a continuous process of impacts and interactions where social groups or actors are forced to adapt their activity, depending on diverse relations established with other more global and universal areas. However, at the present time, the supposition that coherence exists between "social" and "natural" in arid land is conditioned by development choices that must take into account all the aspects of the land, particularly cultural aspects

Downtown districts of cities are usually the first areas to be developed and can inform one of how and why growth occurred in a particular instance. Las Vegas, an oasis within the Mojave desert, originated due to its strategic location in the Southwest US that provided spring water for westward travelers. The area currently known as downtown Las Vegas, one of the first areas to be developed, is depressed due to economic downturn. An arts district is emerging in this district. However, its growth is hampered by a lack of foot traffic and local activity. University of Nevada - Las Vegas (UNLV) is in need of a new building for the arts department to accommodate its expanding program. The purpose of my thesis is to propose a satellite campus in Downtown Las Vegas that can house an arts building along with workshops and art galleries. The goal is to stimulate the development of the downtown arts district by developing strong interaction between the students and local arts activity.

Abstract:
As our technologies evolve, the world gets smaller, and it becomes easier for people to travel and mix. Some people travel, some move permanently, creating an exchange of cultures and knowledge. I believe our architecture should also change and reflect this new aspect of our communities. For that aim I propose a new typology of building. It is a place for people to gather, relax and stay a while, without relying only on other individuals to make the building live and have purpose. The building itself shall be a source of knowledge and experiences akin to tastes and feelings of places abroad. This will be achieved by combining vernacular architecture from different parts of the world, not by having a French room, an Indian room and a South African room, but by studying the vernacular architecture of these places, and creating a whole new language that can express the multiplicity of those places as one. Someone walking in a room will see an aspect which will be reminiscent of his/her place of origin, whereas someone else entering the same room might notice a different architectural element which will bring forth the image of a totally different place. As the individual traverses the building he/she will experience a multitude of spaces with different conditions such as height, width, size, but also a change in temperature, humidity, lighting and smells. Washington D.C. is a very diverse city, with people coming from all over the world, which is a prime example of the melting-pot that is the United States of America. From there, the site was chosen to be in the Dupont Circle area due to the high density of embassies and consulates, business buildings and restaurants. The building will be similar to an oasis for nomads who would like to go to a place that reminds them of their homelands or for locals to sit by the watering hole and listen to stories of lands far away, while actually experiencing those stories through the building.
Master of Architecture
Since a Thesis is one of the rare moments where one can design his own project from choosing the site and program as both client and designer, I wanted to have a project that would be something new and unique. I decided to think about what I could design that would be different, and thus looked inward at what made me different from others. As such I decided to imagine a building that would reflect some aspects of myself, but that would also be relatable for others too. I am French from my parents but also Venezuelan since I was born there in Venezuela. I spent kindergarten in France, was mostly raised in Asia (Bangladesh and Malaysia), and after a year in Cameroon I now live in the United States of America. So when someone asks me where I'm from, I often find myself making an awkward smile accompanied by a silence as I try to understand what the person is asking and what answer I should give. I decided to design a building that would represent the mixture of today's community, a community of nomads where most people have more than just one origin, where we are influenced by the cultures of others. As such my building will be a place for all, with rooms of different conditions allowing the visitor to go to a room that fits his/her preference of size, temperature, lighting and humidity. Similar to how I don't have a Venezuelan leg, a French arm and a Malaysian shoulder, the building was not designed by just copying vernacular architecture from across the globe, but by seeing the common points and combining styles in an all new style that unites and merges the origins together. This is a building that shows how our community is changing and how we can all get along together to make a cohesive whole no matter the differences of the different parts.

Abstract:
We live in daily cycles of brightness and darkness throughout our lives. Light is a device, both through natural and artificial sources, that supports the working of our brains in the processing, reconstruction, and classification of information (Galetta, 2014). According to the models of mental processing provided by various individuals in literature, light as a stimulus can induce specific emotions and behaviors in people (Tomassoni et al., 2015). The objective of this thesis project is to study the possibility of using light patterns and motions to support stress reduction and provide people with a feeling of calm in an indoor setting, where access to nature is limited. The participants (n=30) of the study are students and working adults who live in different cities. They have been asked to evaluate the natural elements and what they perceive as calmness and relaxation through the projection of five different sets of skies. The study considers light as a Biophilic design element, which provides people with calm and a sense of well-being in their work environment (i.e., home office, working space). Through the results of this first survey and insight from the study, the author conducted a lighting experiment using a small model and surveyed the participants’ responses on mood and preference to the different lighting conditions in the model. Consequently, it turned out that most of the participants, from both the online survey and through direct physical interaction with the model, mentioned that they would prefer spending their breaks during their workday in a space that has both patterned light and moving light (not static), rather than the absence of light patterns and motion.  By shaping human experience, the study investigates the possibility of using artificial light as a Biophilic design element to provide people with a feeling of calm and, therefore, to support stress reduction in their work environment.

Abstract:
The “Air-Sea Observations for a Safe Ocean” satellite event to the UN Decade Safe Ocean Laboratory was held on April 7, 2022 at 0000 CEST with a total number of 39 participants. The 2-hour virtual workshop, also referred to on the Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS) website as “OASIS for a Safe Ocean” (https://airseaobs.org/oasis-for-a-safe-ocean), included a 30-minute poster/social session in the interactive Gather.Town platform (Figure 1). Overall, the event was interactive and productive, fostering constructive discussions about the OASIS strategy. With a focus on Small Island Developing States (SIDS), three of the four speakers and one moderator were from island states. Overall, the group was diverse and demonstrated the strong interest of the global air-sea interactions community to promote a Safe Ocean, particularly for SIDS. Participants included many Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOP), representing the stake they have in the future, and had active women participation.
