Abstract The US Geological Survey's Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection
(LCMAP) initiative is a new end-to-end capability to continuously track and characterize …

Grasslands are among the most endangered ecosystems in the world. They supply vital
resources for society, support an abundance of wildlife species, and store rich carbon …

Drought is a natural disaster that may become more common in the future under climate
change. It involves changes to temperature, precipitation and/or land cover, but the relative …

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has begun the development of operational, 30-m
resolution annual thematic land cover data to meet the needs of a variety of land cover data …

Background Human activities have diverse and profound impacts on ecosystem carbon
cycles. The Piedmont ecoregion in the eastern United States has undergone significant land …

In this study we use ALOS PALSAR satellite data to classify land cover using a decision tree
algorithm. We apply polarimetric decomposition methods to coherence and covariance …

This study uses time-series Sentinel-1 (S-1) synthetic aperture radar images to evaluate the
impact of multi-temporal polarimetric processing on land-cover classification. Various …

Several spatial forest disturbance datasets exist for the conterminous USA. The major
problem with forest disturbance mapping is that variability between map products leads to …

Global land-use/land-cover (LULC) change projections and historical datasets are typically
available at coarse grid resolutions and are often incompatible with modeling applications at …

Development of advanced technologies is a critical component in overcoming the looming
water crisis. Stressing emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate water …
