Imagery acquired from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and processed with structure from motion (SfM) – multi-view stereo (MVS) algorithms provides transformative new capabilities for surveying and mapping. Together, these new tools are leading to a democratization of airborne surveying and mapping by enabling similar capabilities (including similar or better accuracies,...
Phylogenetics benefits from using a large number of putatively independent nuclear loci and their combination with other sources of information, such as the plastid and mitochondrial genomes. To facilitate the selection of orthologous low‐copy nuclear (LCN) loci for phylogenetics in nonmodel organisms, we created an automated and interactive script to...
The Holocene portion of the Siple Dome (Antarctica) ice core was
dated by interpreting the electrical, visual and chemical properties of the

was adjusted to be consistent with atmospheric methane stratigraphic

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) will add a significant new capability for investigating the 70% of the Earth's surface that is covered by oceans, in addition to contributing to the continuation of a decadal scale time series necessary for climate change assessment in the oceans. Sensor capabilities of particular...
This report reviews the state of the California Current System (CCS) between winter 2012 and spring 2013, and includes observations from Washington State to Baja California. During 2012, large-scale climate modes indicated the CCS remained in a cool, productive phase present since 2007. The upwelling season was delayed north of...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of DNA from the plastid to the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of higher plants is a common
phenomenon; however, plastid genomes (plastomes) are highly conserved and have generally been regarded as impervious to HGT.
We sequenced the 158 kb plastome and the 690 kb mitochondrial genome...

Freshwater ecosystems in the mid- to
upper-latitudes of the northern hemisphere are particularly
vulnerable to the impact of climate change as
slight changes in air temperature can alter the form,
timing, and magnitude of precipitation and consequent
influence of snowmelt on streamflow dynamics. Here,
we examine the effects of hydro-climate,...
