Combining Oral Histories and Participatory Mapping With Veteran Fishers to Identify Long‐Term Environmental Change in a Nationally Significant River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection and monitoring of environmental change is vital for sustainable river management, but historical data are often limited. This study leveraged volunteered geographic information and local ecological knowledge from experienced recreational anglers to identify historical baselines and long‐term change in the Rakaia River, a ...

Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...
