Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter referred to as sage-grouse) are landscape-scale sagebrush obligate species and an important gamebird and iconic species of the West (Hanser & Knick, 2011; Rowland et al., 2006). They occupy the sagebrush biome in western North America, extending east of the Sierra Nevada/Cascade Mountain ranges to the western regions of the Great...

This code takes a catalog of earthquakes clustered by waveform similarity (e.g., REDPy) and processes the coda for each pair of earthquakes within each cluster/family for small, relative changes in seismic velocity. The causes of these velocity changes are a topic of active research. This code finds the optimal time stretching factor to either expand or condense one earthquake's coda...

In July 2017, a sinkhole collapse significantly impacted the Lake Padgett Estates community in Land O'Lakes, Florida. Two homes were destroyed, and seven others were condemned. Mitigation efforts involved partially filling the sinkhole and creating an open-water pond surrounded by shrubs. This tutorial explores how the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be used to analyze...

In this tutorial, we show the effects of radiometric saturation on the Surface Reflectance Bands for a single pixel from Mount Adams, Yakima, Washington. Mount Adams currently supports ten active glaciers, and has consistent snow cover. Thus, it is an excellent survey area to test radiometric saturation from reflective snow. Below, we retrieve and plot the values from all reflectance...

The pystac_client is a Python library that allows you to interact with STAC APIs. It is useful for querying the Landsat STAC API, which provides programmatic access to Landsat satellite imagery collections. In this notebook, we will show users how to use pystac_client to search for products within the Landsat STAC API.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to apply scale factors to Landsat Level-2 Surface Reflectance and Temperature datasets for Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is known for being one of the hottest cities in the United States, with surface temperatures reaching up to 80 degrees Celsius. In this tutorial, we will scale the NIR, RED, and LWIR (temperature band) bands of a single Landsat scene...
