Magmatic activity beneath the quiescent Three Sisters volcanic center, central Oregon Cascade Range, USA Magmatic activity beneath the quiescent Three Sisters volcanic center, central Oregon Cascade Range, USA
Images from satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) reveal uplift of a broad ~10 km by 20 km area in the Three Sisters volcanic center of the central Oregon Cascade Range, ~130 km south of Mt. St. Helens. The last eruption in the volcanic center occurred ~1500 years ago. Multiple satellite images from 1992 through 2000 indicate that most if not all of ~100 mm of...

Preliminary comparison of landscape pattern-normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) relationships to central plains stream conditions Preliminary comparison of landscape pattern-normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) relationships to central plains stream conditions
We explored relationships of water quality parameters with landscape pattern metrics (LPMs), land use–land cover (LULC) proportions, and the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) or NDVI-derived metrics. Stream sites (271) in Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri were sampled for water quality parameters, the index of biotic integrity...

Satellite mapping of surface biophysical parameters at the biome scale over the North American grasslands: A case study Satellite mapping of surface biophysical parameters at the biome scale over the North American grasslands: A case study
Quantification of biophysical parameters is needed by terrestrial process modeling and other applications. A study testing the role of multispectral data for monitoring biophysical parameters was conducted over a network of grassland field sites in the Great Plains of North America. Grassland biophysical parameters [leaf area index (LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active...

Achieving sub-pixel geolocation accuracy in support of MODIS land science Achieving sub-pixel geolocation accuracy in support of MODIS land science
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was launched in December 1999 on the polar orbiting Terra spacecraft and since February 2000 has been acquiring daily global data in 36 spectral bands—29 with 1 km, five with 500 m, and two with 250 m nadir pixel dimensions. The Terra satellite has on-board exterior orientation (position and attitude) measurement systems designed...

A strategy for estimating tree canopy density using Landsat 7 ETM+ and high resolution images over large areas A strategy for estimating tree canopy density using Landsat 7 ETM+ and high resolution images over large areas
Forest cover is of great interest to a variety of scientific and land management applications, many of which require not only information on forest categories, but also tree canopy density. In previous studies, large area tree canopy density had been estimated at spatial resolutions of 1km or coarser using coarse resolution satellite images. In this study, a strategy is developed for...

Use of the USDA Forest Service Geographic Information System for determining cover type use by white-tailed deer Use of the USDA Forest Service Geographic Information System for determining cover type use by white-tailed deer
Cover type use by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus dacotensis) in the central Black Hills of South Dakota was compared to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service digital data using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Cover types were determined from observations of radiocollared deer and random locations and from corresponding point locations in the...

Transboundary movement of airborne pollutants — A methodology for integrating spaceborne images and ground based data Transboundary movement of airborne pollutants — A methodology for integrating spaceborne images and ground based data
The availability of relevant and accurate environmental information is essential for environmental policy-makers. Recent improvements in satellite remote sensing technologies, groundbased monitors, and data access have resulted in the ability to observe and assess major atmospheric and ecological events around the world on a timely basis Each of these monitoring technologies reveals...

Landsat 7 on-orbit modulation transfer function estimation Landsat 7 on-orbit modulation transfer function estimation
The Landsat 7 spacecraft and its Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) were launched on April 15, 1999. Pre-launch modeling of the ETM+ optical system predicted that modulation transfer function (MTF) performance would change on-orbit. A method was developed to monitor the along-scan MTF performance of the ETM+ sensor system using on-orbit data of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in...
