Zhou, Tan (2017-12-11)Full waveform (FW) and photon counting LiDAR (PCL) data have garnered greater attention due to increasing data availability, a wealth of information they contain and promising prospects for large scale vegetation mapping. ...
-
Li, Bo (2009-06-02)This dissertation includes two parts. Part 1 develops a geostatistical method to calibrate Texas NexRad rainfall estimates using rain gauge measurements. Part 2 explores the asymptotic joint distribution of sample space-time ...

Austin, Michael Andrew (2016-11-28)The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) serves as a means of legally identifying land in 30 out of 50 U.S. states. PLSS coordinates are frequently used to describe spatial data such as the locations of wildfires, but PLSS ...

Young, De'Etra Jenra (2009-06-02)Many of the findings of previous studies have indicated that there is a direct correlation between water quality and urbanization. Increasing impervious coverage typically results in a decrease in water quality. The purpose ...

Sturdivant, Allen W.; Lacewell, Ronald D.; Michelsen, Ari M.; Rister, M. Edward; Assadian, Naomi; Eriksson, Marian; Freeman, Roger; Jacobs, Jennifer H.; Madison, W. Tom; McGuckin, James T.; Morrison, Wendy; Robinson, John R.C.; Staats, Chris; Sheng, Zhuping; Srinivasan, R.; Villalobos, Joshua I. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2004-09)The International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) is responsible for maintaining a series of flood-control projects beginning in New Mexico and extending along the Rio Grande’s international border dividing the ...

Mutlu, Muge (2012-02-14)Crown fires, the fastest spreading of all forest fires, can occur in any forest type throughout the United States and the world. The occurrence of crown fires has become increasingly frequent and severe in recent years. ...
-
Long, David William (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Since the early seventies, the usefulness of satellite imagery for producing vegetation maps has been well known. Even small scale imagery such as advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) has been applied to ...
-
Srinivasa Raghavan, Aravind (2009-05-15)Generics has recently been adopted to many mainstream object oriented languages, such as C# and Java. As a particular design choice, generics in C# and Java use a sub-typing relation to constraint type parameters. Failing ...
-
Ku, Nian-Wei (2018-05-06)This research concentrates on using multiple platforms of lidar remote sensing for assessing vegetation biophysical parameters. Airborne and spaceborne light detection and ranging (lidar) (i.e., ICESat) remote sensing can ...
-
Mutlu, Muge (2009-05-15)Fires have become intense and more frequent in the United States. Improving the accuracy of mapping fuel models is essential for fuel management decisions and explicit fire behavior prediction for real-time support of ...
-
Srinivasan, Shruthi (2013-10-30)Accurate measures of forest structural parameters are essential to forest inventory and growth models, managing wildfires, and modeling of carbon cycle. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides accurate understory information ...
-
Wilson, Taylor (2016-05-31)Mediterranean forests are water limited. While understanding that the growth and survival of these systems are strongly influenced by water availability, the interactive effects of precipitation and other edaphic and ...
-
Varela Gonzalez, Patricia Y (2017-12-14)A spatial and causal probabilistic methodology is introduced for risk assessment based on the coupling of a conceptual Bayesian Network (BN) model and GIS to generate risk maps. The proposed integration of these spatial ...
-
Putman, Eric Bryan (2017-06-26)Standing dead trees (SDTs) are an important forest component and impact a variety of ecosystem processes, yet the carbon pool dynamics of SDTs are poorly constrained in terrestrial carbon cycling models. The ability to ...
-
Narine, Lana Landra (2019-03-15)The Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) was launched on September 15th, 2018 and while this mission primarily serves to capture ice topography measurements of the earth’s surface, it also offers a phenomenal ...
-
Marcell, Wesley Tyler (2011-02-22)Proof of concept lidar research has, to date, examined wall-to-wall models of forest ecosystems. While these studies have been important for verifying lidars efficacy for forest surveys, complete coverage is likely not ...
-
Bruton, Richard Kyle (2020-01-08)There will be a large increase in the world’s population over the coming decades, which will require a significant increase in global food production. However, a large gap exists between the cultivars we plant today and ...
-
Hinson, Audra Leigh (2017-12-08)Tidal wetlands contain large reservoirs of carbon in their soils and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) at greater rates per unit area than nearly any ecosystem. The spatial distribution of this carbon influences climate and ...
-
Ball, Kendall Carothers (2014-11-10)Wildfires occur all over the world. Many countries collect data on such fires. In an effort prevent and study wild fires, the sharing of this information is imperative. Information can best be shared through a wildland ...
