Arc Marine as a spatial data infrastructure : a marine data model case study in whale tracking by satellite telemetry

Creator:: Lord-Castillo, Brett K.
Abstract:: The Arc Marine data model is a generalized template to guide the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) projects in the marine environment. Arc Marine developed out of a collaborative process involving research and industry shareholders in coastal and marine research. This template models and attempts to standardize common marine...

Regional-level coastal management in Mexico : A proposal for Quintana Roo

Creator:: Valdes, Carlos
Abstract:: The overall objective of this study is to propose a framework or model for comprehensive management model of coastal development in Quintana Roo (Quintana Roo's Coastal Management Program-QRCMP), using a regional approach.

Mapping vegetation density and water inundation in a recovering wetland : the Mesopotamian Marshlands

Creator:: Bosley, Jon Michael
Abstract:: Once considered the largest wetland in Central Asia, the Mesopotamian Marshlands of Southeastern Iraq have nearly disappeared. Various hydrological projects by the Iraqi government and dam construction in the region have nearly destroyed these once rich freshwater wetlands by over 90%. With the launching of Operation Iraqi Freedom recent attempts...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...

A mathematical transformation of multi-angular remote sensing data for the study of vegetation change

Creator:: Friedel, Robert G.
Abstract:: Vegetation change is an important factor affecting the global carbon cycle, land-atmosphere interaction, and terrestrial ecology. The study of vegetation change on a global scale can be used to evaluate the impact of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing can monitor vegetation change at the global scale,...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

Creator:: Metta, John W. P.
Abstract:: Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...

Spatial interpolation in other dimensions

Creator:: Martin, Peter
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to broaden the theoretical foundations of interpolation of spatial data, by showing how ideas and methods from information theory and signal processing are applicable to the the work of geographers. Attention is drawn to the distinction between what we study and how we represent...

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami : tourism impacts and recovery progress in Thailand’s marine national parks

Creator:: Meprasert, Somrudee
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami raised concern among marine park managers and hazard mitigation professionals about the significant impact of major coastal hazards on marine park natural resources and ecosystems. The main reason for this concern is the strong linkage of marine parks and their rich assortment of ecosystem services...

A novel landscape ecology approach for determining microhabitat correlations and faunal patchiness in extreme environments:pilot study for the Southern East Pacific Rise at 17-18° S

Creator:: Wargo Rub, Michelle
Abstract:: Since their discovery in 1977, hydrothermal vent communities have offered scientists a unique glimpse into a world that is supported primarily by chemically derived energy rather than direct energy from the sun. Furthermore, studies of hydrothermal vent ecosystems have introduced scientists to amazing animals that have successfully adapted to living...
