Journal ArticleDOI
UAV lidar and hyperspectral fusion for forest monitoring in the southwestern USA
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution lidar, hyperspectral, and multispectral data collected from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) were used for vegetation classification and structure measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling gully-erosion susceptibility in a semi-arid region, Iran: Investigation of applicability of certainty factor and maximum entropy models
Ali Azareh,Omid Rahmati,Elham Rafiei-Sardooi,Joel B. Sankey,Saro Lee,Himan Shahabi,Baharin Bin Ahmad +6 more
TL;DR: The gully erosion susceptibility maps produced in this study could be useful tools for land managers and engineers tasked with road development, urbanization and other future development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing local vs. global visible and near-infrared (VisNIR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) calibrations for the prediction of soil clay, organic C and inorganic C
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the value of augmenting a large global spectral library with relatively few local calibration samples for VisNIR-DRS predictions of soil clay content (clay), organic carbon content (SOC), and inorganic carbon content(IC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate, wildfire, and erosion ensemble foretells more sediment in western USA watersheds
Joel B. Sankey,Jason Kreitler,Todd J. Hawbaker,Jason McVay,Mary Ellen Miller,Erich R. Mueller,Nicole M. Vaillant,Scott E. Lowe,Temuulen T. Sankey +8 more
TL;DR: Using an ensemble of climate, fire, and erosion models, this paper showed that postfire sedimentation is projected to increase for nearly nine tenths of watersheds by >10% and for more than one third of watershed regions by >100% by the 2041 to 2050 decade in the western USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aeolian sediment transport following wildfire in sagebrush steppe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined aeolian transport of sediment for 1 year following fire in semi-arid shrub steppe on loess soils in southern Idaho, USA.
