Determinants of elephant distribution at Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso Determinants of elephant distribution at Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso
We used seasonal ground total counts and remote sensing and GIS technology to relate elephant (Loxodonta africana africana) distribution at Nazinga Game Ranch to environmental and anthropogenic factors. Variables used in analyses were normalized difference vegetation index, elevation, stream density, density of poaching and human illegal activities, distance to dams, distance to rivers...

Revised landsat-5 thematic mapper radiometric calibration Revised landsat-5 thematic mapper radiometric calibration
Effective April 2, 2007, the radiometric calibration of Landsat-5 (L5) Thematic Mapper (TM) data that are processed and distributed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) will be updated. The lifetime gain model that was implemented on May 5, 2003, for the reflective bands (1-5, 7) will be replaced by a new lifetime radiometric...

Online catalog of world-wide test sites for the post-launch characterization and calibration of optical sensors Online catalog of world-wide test sites for the post-launch characterization and calibration of optical sensors
In an era when the number of Earth-observing satellites is rapidly growing and measurements from these sensors are used to answer increasingly urgent global issues, it is imperative that scientists and decision-makers rely on the accuracy of Earth-observing data products. The characterization and calibration of these sensors are vital to achieve an integrated Global Earth Observation...

Evaluation of grassland dynamics in the northern-tibet plateau of china using remote sensing and climate data Evaluation of grassland dynamics in the northern-tibet plateau of china using remote sensing and climate data
The grassland ecosystem in the Northern-Tibet Plateau (NTP) of China is very sensitive to weather and climate conditions of the region. In this study, we investigate the spatial and temporal variations of the grassland ecosystem in the NTP using the NOAA/AVHRR ten-day maximum NDVI composite data of 1981-2001. The relationships among Vegetation Peak-Normalized Difference Vegetation Index...

Global rates of habitat loss and implications for amphibian conservation Global rates of habitat loss and implications for amphibian conservation
A large number of factors are known to affect amphibian population viability, but most authors agree that the principal causes of amphibian declines are habitat loss, alteration, and fragmentation. We provide a global assessment of land use dynamics in the context of amphibian distributions. We accomplished this by compiling global maps of amphibian species richness and recent rates of...

Scaling field data to calibrate and validate moderate spatial resolution remote sensing models Scaling field data to calibrate and validate moderate spatial resolution remote sensing models
Validation and calibration are essential components of nearly all remote sensing-based studies. In both cases, ground measurements are collected and then related to the remote sensing observations or model results. In many situations, and particularly in studies that use moderate resolution remote sensing, a mismatch exists between the sensor’s field of view and the scale at which in...

Analysis of impacts of urban land use and land cover on air quality in the Las Vegas region using remote sensing information and ground observations Analysis of impacts of urban land use and land cover on air quality in the Las Vegas region using remote sensing information and ground observations
Urban development in the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada (USA) has expanded rapidly over the past 50 years. The air quality in the valley has suffered owing to increases from anthropogenic emissions of carbon monoxide, ozone and criteria pollutants of particular matter. Air quality observations show that pollutant concentrations have apparent heterogeneous characteristics in the urban area...

Comparison of outgassing models for the Landsat thematic mapper sensors Comparison of outgassing models for the Landsat thematic mapper sensors
The Thematic Mapper (TM) is a multi-spectral electro-optical sensor featured onboard both the Landsat 4 (L4) and Landsat 5 (L5) satellites. TM sensors have seven spectral bands with center wavelengths of approximately 0.49, 0.56, 0.66, 0.83, 1.65, 11.5 and 2.21 μm, respectively. The visible near-infrared (VNIR) bands are located on the primary focal plane (PFP), and two short-wave...

Improved wetland remote sensing in Yellowstone National Park using classification trees to combine TM imagery and ancillary environmental data Improved wetland remote sensing in Yellowstone National Park using classification trees to combine TM imagery and ancillary environmental data
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses the term palustrine wetland to describe vegetated wetlands traditionally identified as marsh, bog, fen, swamp, or wet meadow. Landsat TM imagery was combined with image texture and ancillary environmental data to model probabilities of palustrine wetland occurrence in Yellowstone National Park using classification trees. Model training and test...
