(2022-07-20)The popularity of Cognitive Assistants, defined as intelligent AI agents that enhance human capabilities and interact through natural language, has surged in the last decade. Recent advances in natural language understanding ...
-
(2021-07-20)In the region of northwestern Namibia, the desert elephants’ population has been reduced to a total of 81 remaining as of 2019. Their population has been on a steady decline due to poaching, wars in the region, increasing ...
-
(2022-07-27)Rivers host complex exchanges between the water and atmosphere at their flowing surface. Constraining estimates of global river and surface area is important to account for greenhouse gas evasion from the fluvial network. ...
-
(2023-06-07)Anthropogenic nutrient deposition and large-scale disturbances are two prominent and pervasive drivers of global change in grassland ecosystems. Both of these drivers cause changes in grassland community dynamics and plant ...
-
(2022-01-05)Geospatial technology has rapidly developed over the past ten years and is making substantial impacts in geomorphology. The new techniques, which have been developed, require high computational ability to produce in-depth ...
-
(2020-11-20)This dissertation develops optimal cloud ice particle optical property models used for remotely sensed data from multi-angular satellite sensors. The optimal degree of surface roughness is inferred from Multi-angle Imaging ...
-
(2020-04-22)Remote-sensing classification in agriculture provides advanced techniques for expanding the capacity of high-throughput phenotyping in plant breeding and optimizing field management in precision agriculture. Methods applied ...
-
(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. ...
-
(2019-10-15)Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer exciting new potentials within the field of precision agriculture. However, the technology remains in an experimental setting because of questions concerning data quality and quantity. ...
-
(2020-11-25)Woody encroachers have transformed the Southern Great Plains across its semi-arid regions. Little is known how these encroachers—particularly the drought tolerant Juniperus—may be vulnerable to hotter temperatures and water ...
-
(2017-05-22)The alpine treeline ecotone is an important component of mountain ecosystems of the Nepal Himalayas; it plays a vital role in the livelihood of indigenous people and provides ecosystem services. However, the region faces ...
-
(2010-07-14)Accurate areal measurements of snow-cover extent are important for hydrological and climate modeling. The traditional method of mapping snow cover is binary where a pixel is approximated to either snow-covered or snow-free. ...
-
(2021-11-23)Remote sensing (RS), a critical technology for large-scale-monitoring Earth-observing systems (EOS), plays an important role in Earth science and other related fields where physical, biological, and chemical properties of ...
-
(2018-05-01)Poleward vegetation expansion has affected Alaska for decades and due to recently increased rates of warming, the expansion will accelerate. Glacier recession in the region has exposed land that was previously ice covered. ...
-
(2012-02-14)Large aggregations of Sargassum, when at sea, provide important habitat for numerous marine species of vertebrates and invertebrates. It is especially important for the young of several species of sea turtles. However, ...
