Delineating Subwatersheds within the Monongahela National Forest: The Implications of a Watershed Approach on Forest Planning
(2014)The Monongahela National Forest comprises over 900,000 acres of biologically diverse land in West Virginia. It is the largest tract of public land within the state, and it attracts anglers, hunters, and other outdoor ... -
Optimizing Measurement of 4G LTE Broadband Access in Virginia
(2014)Wireless coverage is not confined to jurisdictional boundaries and populations are not distributed evenly within jurisdictions. However both population and coverage statistics are often reported at the jurisdictional scale. ... -
Application of SEBAL Model for Mapping Evapotranspiration in Iowa Using MODIS Time-Series Data
(2014)Evapotranspiration (ET), including evaporation from soil surface and vegetation transpiration, is an important variable for water and energy balances on the Earth's surface. Quantifying evapotranspiration (ET) from agriculture ... -
Multi-temporal forest change detection in central Sumatra
(2014)Forest conversion to oil palm plantations and development in central Sumatra has been rampant over the past two decades. Home to critically endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger and Sumatran elephant, continued ... -
A Study of Impermeable Surfaces in the Greater Washington, D.C. Area
(2014)The Washington D.C. area, like many cities, is covered with impermeable surfaces. With millions of cars on the roads every year, runoff is a major problem for the Potomac and the Anacostia rivers, which both empty into the ... -
Analysis of Crop Phenology Using Time-Series MODIS Data and Climate Data
(2014)Understanding crop phenology is fundamental to agricultural production, management, planning and decision-making. In the continental United States, key phenological stages are strongly influenced by meteorological and ... -

Accuracy Assessment of the National Land Cover Database Impervious Surface dataset for Roanoke, Virginia
(2014)The Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) developed National Land Cover Database Impervious Surface (NLCD IS) data to identify percent developed imperviousness for the coterminous USA. We present the ... -
Crowds for Clouds: Using an Internet Workforce to Interpret Satellite Images
(2014)A chronologically ordered sequence of satellite images can be used to learn how natural features of the landscape change over time. For example, we can learn how forests react to human interventions or climate change. ... -
Mapping High Tunnels in the Local Food Systems
(2014)High tunnels (HTs) represent a quietly growing, local level response to globalization of the food system. As semi-permanent greenhouses, HTs bring practical on-farm solutions to biophysical growing constraints; they extend ... -
