Spatial Supervised Learning seeks to learn how to assign a label to each pixel in a spatial grid
such as the pixels of remote-sensed images. The standard approach is to treat each grid cell
separately and to use only the measured features of the grid cell to determine the assigned...

Marine diseases are becoming more frequent, and tools for identifying pathogens and disease
reservoirs are needed to help prevent and mitigate epizootics. Meta-transcriptomics
provides insights into disease etiology by cataloguing and comparing sequences from suspected
pathogens. This method is a powerful approach to simultaneously evaluate both the
viral and bacterial...

Emerging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology. To address scientific needs and help improve the prediction of mountain weather, the U.S. Department of Defense has funded a research effort—the...

Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing
shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon
and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities
of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...

Surface and subsurface data indicate that Cretaceous strata
in the southern Ventura basin are part of the northward prograding
Chatsworth submarine fan. The fan extends westward as far as
Trancas Beach in the Santa Monica Mountains and wells in the
Oxnard Plain and on Oak Ridge. The eastern edge of...

Biological invasions create complex ecological
and societal issues worldwide. Most of the
knowledge about invasions comes only from successful
invaders, but less is known about which processes
determine the differential success of invasions. In this
review, we develop a framework to identify the main
dimensions driving the success and failure...

Data from large-scale biological inventories are essential for understanding and managing Earth's ecosystems.
The Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA) of the U.S. Forest Service is the largest biological inventory in
North America; however, the FIA inventory recently changed from an amalgam of different approaches to a
nationally-standardized approach in...
