Bedform distributions and dynamics in a large, channelized river: Implications for benthic ecological processes Bedform distributions and dynamics in a large, channelized river: Implications for benthic ecological processes

Sand bedforms are fundamental habitat elements for benthic fish in large, sand-bedded rivers and are hypothesized to provide flow refugia, food transport, and ecological disturbance. We explored bedform distributions and dynamics in the Lower Missouri River, Missouri, with the objective of understanding the implications of these features for benthic fish habitat, particularly for the...

Assessment of a new GeoAI foundation model for floodinundation mapping Assessment of a new GeoAI foundation model for floodinundation mapping

Vision foundation models are a new frontier in GeoAI research because of their potential to enable powerful image analysis by analyzing and extracting important image features from vast amounts of geospatial data. This paper evaluates the performance of the first-of-its-kind geospatial foundation model, IBM-NASA’s Prithvi, to support a crucial geospatial analysis task: flood inundation...

Hidden system identification: Basin modeling as a tool for examining sedimentary geothermal resource potential Hidden system identification: Basin modeling as a tool for examining sedimentary geothermal resource potential

Three-dimensional (3D) geologic and temperature models have been developed for the onshore U.S. Gulf Coast. The results from these models identify areas of moderate- to high-temperature (90°-150°C and >150°C; respectively) geothermal resources at depths
