Downward approach to hydrological prediction (2003, background): “Examples include the Budyko curve, inter-annual and mean monthly variability of water balance, flow duration curves, and the spatial organization of these signatures (Jothityangkoon et al., 2001). These are the key signatures that embody the hydrologic organization or hidden order, and a quest for i”
Moving beyond heterogeneity and process complexity: A new vision for watershed hydrology (2007, background): “[23] Harte [2002] has also addressed this issue in relation to ecology, and called for a synthesis of the Newtonian and Darwinian approaches.”
Integrated research methods in watershed science (2015, background): “The synthesis of Newtonism and Darwinism is an important direction for future methodological developments in watershed science and Earth system science (Eagleson, 2002; Harte, 2002).”
Mediated Modeling in Science Education (2007, background): “The search for patterns is now getting to the heart of every scientific discipline, even those disciplines, like ecology, that are primarily interested with irregularities and weak trends, and for which the search for patterns and universal laws has always been “a touchy subject” (Harte, 2002).”
Allometric laws and prediction in estuarine and coastal ecology (2006, background): “We need to find a better balance between understanding of the detail and prediction of higherlevel behavior of ecosystems in an effort to move towards a set of ecological first principles (Harte 2002).”
What makes Darwinian hydrology "Darwinian"? Asking a different kind of question about landscapes (2014, background): “Many of these visions cite Harte (2002) as an inspiration, who suggested that Earth systems science needs new approaches to dealing with the formidable difficulties of global change.”
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, background): “Some studies have attempted to make the connection using metabolic-based theory, providing a means of linking seemingly universal patterns frommicrocosms to the more idiosyncratic real world (Caron et al., 2009; Harte, 2002; Pascual and Dunne, 2005).”
