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....

Spatial trends in U.S. wind energy facility siting practices

Creator:: Wiles, Nathan M.
Abstract:: The United States (U.S.) has seen dramatic growth in installed wind energy generation capacity in recent years, and that growth is expected to remain strong in the near term. The siting of wind energy facilities poses unique challenges that may be exacerbated by increased buildout. As the number of wind...

Effects of Woolsey Fire on Nesting Territories of Southern California Red-Tailed Hawks

Creator:: Gao, Jane
Abstract:: The relationship between fire and wildlife habitat is complex. Fires can create favorable conditions for some species and simultaneously extirpate entire populations of other species. Red-tailed hawks choose nesting habitats according to resources available. Natural disturbances such as wildfires change the availability of those resources. In late 2018, the Woolsey...

Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) and Cultural Reconstruction: A Practical Application at the Red Bluff Recreation Area, Mendocino National Forest, Grindstone District

Creator:: Riske-Gomez, Jessica
Abstract:: The project location is a pre-historical gathering site for basketry materials utilized by the Wintun people within the boundaries of the Red Bluff Recreation Area. Due to environmental changes and neglect, the site has fallen into disuse and degradation. The aim of this project is ethnoecological restoration, which varies from...

Invasive Plant Management Plan and Digital Tools for Big Sur Land Trust of Monterey County, California

Creator:: Nichols, Abby L.
Abstract:: An Invasive Plant Management Plan developed for Big Sur Land Trust, a non-profit conservation organization located on California's Central Coast, to guide its vegetation management activities and serve as a decision-support tool. The effort included the creation of a digital field data collection tool through Survey123 Connect, survey and data...

Adapting Wastewater Treatment Plants to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Half Moon Bay, California

Creator:: Cozzolino, Brittney K.
Abstract:: Wastewater treatment plants around the world are becoming increasingly at risk of sea level rise impacts as these facilities are typically located in low-lying areas to utilize gravity flow for influent (incoming sewage) and effluent (discharged treated sewage). As these risks become realized, treatment plant managers and decision-makers must know...

Gordon Michael Final Thesis.pdf

Creator:: Gordon, Michael Ian
Abstract:: Anaerobic digestion of lipid-extracted algal biomass has been proposed as a method to recover and recycle nutrients in algal biofuel systems. The purpose of this study was to quantify recoverable nitrogen and phosphorus from anaerobically digested C. vulgaris. Recoverable nutrients were deemed those present in the liquid phase of anaerobic...

Assessment of Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) for use in common forest engineering geomatic applications

Creator:: Craven, Michael B.
Abstract:: Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has become a popular remote sensing technology to create digital terrain models and provide forest inventory information. However, little research has been done to investigate the accuracy of using airborne LiDAR to perform measurement tasks common to Forest Engineering. This thesis contains two manuscripts...

Pacific Madrone Leaf Blight Detection with Unmanned Aerial Systems and Machine Learning

Creator:: Barker, Matthew I.
Abstract:: Ground-based assessments of foliar diseases including leaf blight are time-consuming and costly. We investigated the potential for using an unmanned aerial system (UAS) in conjunction with a multispectral sensor to determine whether we could more efficiently and reliably detect and quantify leaf blight in Pacific madrones. Our methods included ground-based...

Mapping-grade GPS accuracy in second growth Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Frank, Jereme M.
Abstract:: The global positioning system (GPS) has come into widespread use for many forestry applications. However, there is still some uncertainty as to how receivers perform in dense forest, where trees interfere with the GPS signal and increase error. These two manuscripts examine GPS accuracy and overall effectiveness within second growth...
