| 1 |  | A paleolimnological investigation of historical environmental change in East Canyon Reservoir | Higby Halseth, Deanna Renee | East Canyon Reservoir; Paleolimnology; Remote sensing; Reservoir; Utah; Water resources | East Canyon Reservoir is located 32 km east of Salt Lake City, Utah, and serves as a resource for irrigation, culinary water, and recreation. This research used paleolimnology and historical records to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors, including land clearance, dam construction and enl... | 2011-05 |
| 2 |  | A rangeland predictive phenological model for the upper Colorado River Basin and its web delivery | Zhang, Yuan | Decision support system; Multivariate adaptive regression splines; Phenological modeling; Phenology; Remote sensing; Upper Colorado River Basin | Understanding the spatially and temporally variant phenological responses and cycles can greatly assist the administrative planning, policy making and management in grazing, planting, and ecosystem conservation. The linkages of analysis as a basis for management have received increasing attention in... | 2013-08 |
| 3 |  | Evaluating the effects of spatial resolution on hyperspectral fire detection and temperature retrieval | Matheson, Daniel Scott | Physical geography; Geographic information science; Remote sensing | Hyperspectral remote sensing of wildfires combines principles of emitted radiation with advanced spectrometry to model wildfire area and temperature, as well as background land cover classification, at the subpixel level. Yet airborne hyperspectral sensors face problems of inconsistent spatial resol... | 2011-08 |
| 4 |  | Ice flow dynamics of Alaska glaciers | Burgess, Evan Windam | Alaska; Glaciers; Glaciology; Ice dynamics; Offset tracking; Remote sensing | Understanding long-term ice dynamic response to climate change remains of the utmost importance with respect to constraining sea level rise (SLR) projections for 2100. SLR contributions from Alaska approximate those from Greenland and may be dominated by mass losses from changes in flow dynamics. Bu... | 2013-05 |
| 5 |  | Impacts of topographic shading on surface energy balance of High Mountain Asia glaciers | Olson, Matthew Howard | Climate Change; Atmospheric sciences; Remote sensing | Topographic shading involves two components: shaded relief and cast shadowing. Shaded relief occurs from self-shadowing due to the slope and aspect of a given location; cast shadowing involves projecting shade from nearby terrain onto an adjacent surface. The combined effect of topographic shading p... | 2017 |
| 6 |  | Mapping and spatial-temporal modeling of Bromus tectorum invasion in Central Utah | Jin, Zhenyu | Cheatgrass; NDVI time-series; Remote sensing; Spatial-temporal modeling; Utah; Bromus tectorum | Cheatgrass, or Downy Brome, is an exotic winter annual weed native to the Mediterranean region. Since its introduction to the U.S., it has become a significant weed and aggressive invader of sagebrush, pinion-juniper, and other shrub communities, where it can completely out-compete native grasses a... | 2011-11 |
| 7 |  | Quantifying drought-induced changes in green vegetation fraction and classification accuracy using hyperspectral data for the Central Sierra Nevada, California | Wenrich, Erika Ann | Geography; Forestry; Remote sensing | Persistent drought conditions and associated vegetation mortality in the central Sierra Nevada of California were analyzed from 2013-2015 using a combination of field-derived polygons and AVIRIS hyperspectral data. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was used to classify hyperspectral data into five ... | 2017 |
| 8 |  | Recent trends in the changing geographic extent of Cienegas of the United States/Mexico border region | Housman, Ian Wilson | Ciénega; Desiccation; GIS; Landsat; Remote sensing; Wetlands | Wetlands, known as ciénegas, were once found throughout the basin and range physiographic province in southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, northern Sonora, and northwestern Chihuahua. These groundwater-dependent wetlands are now largely desiccated due to overgrazing, groundwater depletion... | 2011-05 |
| 9 |  | Remote sensing and geospatial modeling of wildland firefighter safety | Campbell, Michael James | Remote sensing | With increasing wildfire activity throughout the western United States comes an increased need for wildland firefighters to protect civilians, structures, and public resources. In order to mitigate threats to their safety, firefighters employ the use of safety zones (SZ: areas where firefighters are... | 2018 |
