Beyond Finding Change: multitemporal Landsat for forest monitoring and management

, 2017
Take homes Tobler’s Law still in effect with time series – spatial autocorrelation in temporal coherence can help in both preprocessing and estimation Continual process improvement in extant algorithms needed Need additional means by which variations

Bureaucrat assignments as instruments of political control: Theory and evidence from land administration officials in India

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates how politicians use the assignment of officials to geographical posts—a personnel system found in many countries—as a system of incentives to control, and possibly corrupt, bureaucratic behavior. The argument is developed with a matching model and tested with a nationwide survey of Indian officials who administer land ...

Near real-time tropical deforestation detection using dense Landsat time series and local expert monitoring data

, 2013
In this paper, we present an integrated near real-time forest disturbance monitoring system which utilizes temporally dense Landsat time series in combination with a continuous local expert based system in a tropical forest ecosystem in southern Ethiopia.

A Review and Critique of Methods and Knowledge Gaps in Quantifying Spillover Effects from Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sustainability of area‐based conservation initiatives depends on their value to society. Conservation often focuses inside protected areas, but the impacts of protected areas beyond their boundaries (spillovers) are critical for their social license.

Using Landsat Time-Series and LiDAR to Inform Aboveground Forest Biomass Baselines in Northern Minnesota, USA

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2017
The publicly accessible archive of Landsat imagery and increasing regional-scale LiDAR acquisitions offer an opportunity to periodically estimate aboveground forest biomass (AGB) from 1990 to the present to align with the reporting needs of National ...

Roadless status under the Roadless Area Conservation Rule is not associated with increased wildfire in the US National Forest System

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The US Department of Agriculture has proposed rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule that protects inventoried roadless areas across the National Forest System. The need to address wildfire is cited as a primary motivation for overturning the Roadless Rule.

The Benefits of High Resolution Multispectral TIR Data and Its Impending Loss by NASA After Four Decades

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract NASA has led multispectral (≥3 wavelength bands) thermal infrared (TIR) sensor development from the earliest days of the agency. These data are critical in addressing a wide range of scientific questions and administration priories by measuring both temperature (for wildfire and volcanic eruption monitoring, agricultural plant stress, and ...
