Three decades of urbanization: Estimating the impact of land-cover change on stream salamander populations Three decades of urbanization: Estimating the impact of land-cover change on stream salamander populations
Urbanization has become the dominant form of landscape disturbance in parts of the United States. Small streams in the Piedmont region of the eastern United States support high densities of salamanders and are often the first habitats to be affected by landscape-altering factors such as urbanization. We used US Geological Survey land cover data from 1972 to 2000 and a relation between...

Cross-calibration of MODIS with ETM+ and ALI sensors for long-term monitoring of land surface processes Cross-calibration of MODIS with ETM+ and ALI sensors for long-term monitoring of land surface processes
Increasingly, data from multiple sensors are used to gain a more complete understanding of land surface processes at a variety of scales. Although higher-level products (e.g., vegetation cover, albedo, surface temperature) derived from different sensors can be validated independently, the degree to which these sensors and their products can be compared to one another is vastly improved...

Multiple baseline radar interferometry applied to coastal land cover classification and change analyses Multiple baseline radar interferometry applied to coastal land cover classification and change analyses
ERS-1 and ERS-2 SAR data were collected in tandem over a four-month period and used to generate interferometric coherence, phase, and intensity products that we compared to a classified land cover coastal map of Big Bend, Florida. Forests displayed the highest intensity, and marshes the lowest. The intensity for fresh marsh and forests progressively shifted while saline marsh intensity...

Evaluating MODIS data to estimate irrigated crop production in Afghanistan using a thermal-based ET fraction approach Evaluating MODIS data to estimate irrigated crop production in Afghanistan using a thermal-based ET fraction approach
Accurate crop performance monitoring and production estimation is critical for timely assessment of the food balance of several countries in the world. Recently, the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET) has been monitoring crop performance and to some extent relative production using satellite derived data and simulation models in Africa, Central America and Afghanistan where...

Analysis of multi-temporal geospatial data sets to assess the landscape effects of surface mining Analysis of multi-temporal geospatial data sets to assess the landscape effects of surface mining
Geospatial data sets, especially digital elevation data, have proven useful for characterizing and analyzing land surface conditions. Digital elevation models are routinely used for describing the morphology of the land surface in terms of slope gradient and aspect. Additionally, the elevation data are useful for deriving parameters that describe the local drainage conditions such as...

Landsat 7 scan line corrector-off gap-filled product development Landsat 7 scan line corrector-off gap-filled product development
The Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) scan line corrector (SLC) failed on May 31, 2003, causing the scanning pattern to exhibit wedge-shaped scan-to-scan gaps. The ETM+ has continued to acquire data with the SLC powered off, leading to images that are missing approximately 22 percent of the normal scene area. To improve the utility of the SLC-off data, the U.S. Geological...

Monitoring boreal forest leaf area index across a Siberian burn chronosequence: A MODIS validation study Monitoring boreal forest leaf area index across a Siberian burn chronosequence: A MODIS validation study
Landscapes containing differing amounts of ecological disturbance provide an excellent opportunity to validate and better understand the emerging Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) vegetation products. Four sites, including 1‐year post‐fire coniferous, 13‐year post‐fire deciduous, 24‐year post‐fire deciduous, and >100 year old post‐fire coniferous forests, were selected to...

Establishing an analytical framework for calculating consistent and sensitive measures of the rate of biodiversity change Establishing an analytical framework for calculating consistent and sensitive measures of the rate of biodiversity change
The Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) VIth Conference of the Parties (COP) and the World Summit on Sustainable Development agreed to a target to achieve a significant reduction of the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. The VIIth COP adopted a conceptual framework to facilitate the assessment of global progress toward 2010 and to encourage national and regional targets and...
