RUSH is a tool for rapid repeat high resolution coastal vegetation maps to improve forecasting of hurricane impacts and coastal resilience. Natural coastal vegetated ecosystems, including tidal marshes, vegetated dunes, and shrub- and forest-dominated wetlands, provide nature-based solutions to climate-related impacts of hurricanes. Extensive research has shown that vegetation cover in...

Understanding changes in the timing and magnitude of streamflows available to maintain riverine biodiversity and ecological function, while also meeting the increasing societal demands on water resources, is a global priority. A rigorous quantification of seasonal changes in streamflow is needed to inform water management and policy under global change. We introduce a hierarchical...

The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (version 6) is a stand-alone desktop application that complements a Geographic Information System (GIS). The DSAS software requires users to input a reference baseline and compilation of shoreline positions to generate measurement transects and shoreline intersections used to calculate rate-of-change statistics. DSAS provides an automated method for...

ModelMuse version 5.3 adds the ability to import existing MODFLOW 6 models with some limitations. Other changes include 1. the ability to use formulas to activate or deactivate specified head, specified concentration, and mass source boundaries, 2. the ability to use formulas in the scale factors of dynamic boundaries, 3. support for the AUXMULTNAME option in MODFLOW 6, and 4. the...

This software release contains the code necessary to run the chronic wasting disease (CWD) and elk population models used to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision on whether to continue to continue supplemental feeding of elk on the National Elk Refuge (NER). The models allow for five different management alternatives: continued feeding, reduced feeding, increased hunting...

The Alignment Helper is a GUI tool designed to be embedded in the Agisoft Metashape application. The Alignment Helper was written in support of a diver-based structure-from-motion data processing workflow and was built to facilitate proper alignment of Metashape models with the local grid coordinate system.

This software release contains one R script that reproduces all of the statistical analysis with objectives to (2) determine if myiasis affects Eastern Box Turtle body condition, (3) determine if myiasis affects Eastern Box Turtle shell temperature, (4) determine if myiasis affects Eastern Box Turtle habitat use, and (5) determine if myiasis affected turtles move shorter distances than...

This software release includes the python scripts and jupyter notebooks of collecting remote-sensed lake ice cover data, training & validating a lake ice model and visualizing the model output.

To assess the degree to which transplanting sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) could quickly restore former Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) habitat and the strategies by which sage-grouse habitat restoration is best accomplished, we linked vegetation transitions with habitat selection models to evaluate habitat recovery. There are few data-driven...

This DOI is for the v1.0.0 release of the python library lasertram: a tool dedicated to the processing of time resolved analysis of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry data

Although conserving fish biodiversity in lotic systems is challenging, protected areas can provide refuge from certain environmental stressors. In the Appalachian region, USA, the National Park Service manages Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA) and New River Gorge National Park & Preserve (NERI) which both contain abundant and diverse freshwater resources. To assess the...

In this tutorial, we show users how to mosaic and process overlapping Landsat scenes covering Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon on the Arizona-Nevada border. These scenes were carefully chosen based on their location and minimal cloud cover.
