Examination of airborne discrete-return lidar in prediction and identification of unique forest attributes

Creator:: Wing, Brian M.
Abstract:: Airborne discrete-return lidar is an active remote sensing technology capable of obtaining accurate, fine-resolution three-dimensional measurements over large areas. Discrete-return lidar data produce three-dimensional object characterizations in the form of point clouds defined by precise x, y and z coordinates. The data also provide intensity values for each point that...

Breeding ecology and nest site selection of Kittlitz's murrelets on Kodiak Island, Alaska

Creator:: Lawonn, Matthew James
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a rare member of the seabird family Alcidae that breeds in coastal areas of Alaska and Beringian Russia. The species belongs to the genus Brachyramphus, an unusual seabird taxon in which all three extant species nest non-colonially, situating their nests up to 75 km...

Solidarity’s Last Stand: Rudi Nussbaum and the Hanford Downwinders

Creator:: Vitale, Anthony
Abstract:: The Hanford Nuclear Reservation drew public ire during the 1980s and 1990s when activist groups forced the declassification of 19,000 documents and discovered proof of accidental and intentional releases of radioactive materials into the environment. These releases had been kept from the public. Although many locals had for decades wondered...

Communicating oceanographic research through film : the role of film in helping scientists develop and meet their broader impacts goals

Creator:: Madlener, Saskia D.
Abstract:: Funding agencies, specifically the National Science Foundation (NSF), are placing particular emphasis on the societal relevance and broader applications of scientific research, otherwise known as Broader Impacts (BIs). Scientists are required to address the BIs merit review criterion in their research proposals or they will not get funded. However, many...

Looking for 'common ground' in genetically modified crops policy : an interview-based study

Creator:: Starr, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Over 90 percent of the soy, cotton, and corn sold in the United States are genetically modified crops (GM crops). However, there was a 209 percent growth in USDA certified organic food from 2005-2015, reflecting a growing interest in non-GMO food. The policy debate over GM crops takes place between...

Environmental Remote Sensing with Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Creator:: Burnett, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs) equipped with optical sensors are capableof remotely sensing landscapes and wildlife at spatial and temporal resolutions that werepreviously inaccessible due to technical and budgetary limitations. Conventional remotesensing and photogrammetric workflows can be applied to the resulting high resolution imageryto facilitate new types of scientific inquiry....

Estimation and Sparse Selection of Conditional Probability Models for Vector Time Series

Creator:: Ruiz, Trevor D.
Abstract:: Diverse scientific fields collect multiple time series data to investigate the dynamical behavior of complex systems: atmospheric and climate science, geophysics, neuroscience, epidemiology, ecology, and environmental science. Identifying patterns of mutual dependence among such data generates valuable knowledge that can be applied either for inferential or forecasting purposes. Vector autoregressive...
