Ensemble habitat mapping of invasive plant species
T.J. Stohlgren, P. Ma, S. Kumar, M. Rocca, J.T. Morisette, C. S. Jarnevich, N. Benson
2010, Risk Analysis (30) 224-235
Ensemble species distribution models combine the strengths of several species environmental matching models, while minimizing the weakness of any one model. Ensemble models may be particularly useful in risk analysis of recently arrived, harmful invasive species because species may not yet have spread to all suitable habitats, leaving species-environment relationships...
Land-use pressure and a transition to forest-cover loss in the Eastern United States
Mark A. Drummond, Thomas R. Loveland
2010, BioScience (60) 286-298
Contemporary land-use pressures have a significant impact on the extent and condition of forests in the eastern United States, causing a regional-scale decline in forest cover. Earlier in the 20th century, land cover was on a trajectory of forest expansion that followed agricultural abandonment. However, the potential for forest regeneration...
Teaching citizen science skills online: Implications for invasive species training programs
G. Newman, A. Crall, M. Laituri, J. Graham, T. Stohlgren, J.C. Moore, K. Kodrich, K.A. Holfelder
2010, Applied Environmental Education and Communication (9) 276-286
Citizen science programs are emerging as an efficient way to increase data collection and help monitor invasive species. Effective invasive species monitoring requires rigid data quality assurances if expensive control efforts are to be guided by volunteer data. To achieve data quality, effective online training is needed to improve field...
Emplacement of the youngest flood lava on Mars: A short, turbulent story
Windy L. Jaeger, Laszlo P. Keszthelyi, James A. Skinner, Moses P. Milazzo, Alfred S. McEwen, Timothy N. Titus, Mark R. Rosiek, Donna M. Galuszka, Elpitha Howington-Kraus, Randolph L. Kirk, the HiRISE TEam
2010, Icarus (205) 230-243
Recently acquired data from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), Context (CTX) imager, and Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft were used to investigate the emplacement of the youngest flood-lava flow on Mars. Careful mapping finds that...
Evolution of a natural debris flow: In situ measurements of flow dynamics, video imagery, and terrestrial laser scanning
S.W. McCoy, J. W. Kean, J. A. Coe, D.M. Staley, T.A. Wasklewicz, G.E. Tucker
2010, Geology (38) 735-738
Many theoretical and laboratory studies have been undertaken to understand debris-flow processes and their associated hazards. However, complete and quantitative data sets from natural debris flows needed for confirmation of these results are limited. We used a novel combination of in situ measurements of debris-flow dynamics, video imagery, and pre-...
Time-dependent seismic tomography
B.R. Julian, G.R. Foulger
2010, Geophysical Journal International (182) 1327-1338
Of methods for measuring temporal changes in seismic-wave speeds in the Earth, seismic tomography is among those that offer the highest spatial resolution. 3-D tomographic methods are commonly applied in this context by inverting seismic wave arrival time data sets from different epochs independently and assuming that differences in the...
Monitoring on-orbit calibration stability of the Terra MODIS and Landsat 7 ETM+ sensors using pseudo-invariant test sites
G. Chander, X. Xiong, T. Choi, A. Angal
2010, Remote Sensing of Environment (114) 925-939
The ability to detect and quantify changes in the Earth's environment depends on sensors that can provide calibrated, consistent measurements of the Earth's surface features through time. A critical step in this process is to put image data from different sensors onto a common radiometric scale. This work focuses on...
Analysis of elevation changes detected from multi-temporal LiDAR surveys in forested landslide terrain in western Oregon
W.J. Burns, J. A. Coe, B.S. Kaya, Liwang Ma
2010, Environmental & Engineering Geoscience (16) 315-341
We examined elevation changes detected from two successive sets of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in the northern Coast Range of Oregon. The first set of LiDAR data was acquired during leafon conditions and the second set during leaf-off conditions. We were able to successfully identify and map active...

Chemical and nanometer-scale structure of kerogen and its change during thermal maturation investigated by advanced solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy
J. Mao, X. Fang, Y. Lan, A. Schimmelmann, Maria Mastalerz, L. Xu, K. Schmidt-Rohr
2010, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (74) 2110-2127
We have used advanced and quantitative solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to investigate structural changes in a series of type II kerogen samples from the New Albany Shale across a range of maturity (vitrinite reflectance R0 from 0.29% to 1.27%). Specific functional groups such as CH3, CH2, alkyl CH,...
Integrated use of surface geophysical methods for site characterization — A case study in North Kingstown, Rhode Island
Carole D. Johnson, John W. Lane Jr., William C. Brandon, Christine A.P. Williams, Eric A. White
2010, Conference Paper, Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems 2010
A suite of complementary, non‐invasive surface geophysical methods was used to assess their utility for site characterization in a pilot investigation at a former defense site in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The methods included frequency‐domain electromagnetics (FDEM), ground‐penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and multi‐channel analysis of surface‐wave (MASW)...
