There is inconsistent evidence that stream restoration projects lead to recovery of ecosystem attributes, especially stream biota. While some assessments have documented desired changes in fish community metrics in the first years following restoration, longer‐term studies have not always corroborated these findings.

Abstract A growing body of evidence shows that some ungulates alternate between migratory and nonmigratory behaviors over time. Yet it remains unclear whether such short‐term behavioral changes can help explain reported declines in ungulate migration worldwide, as opposed to long‐term demographic changes.

Abstract Wildfires and housing development have increased since the 1990s, presenting unique challenges for wildfire management. However, it is unclear how the relative influences of housing growth and changing wildfire occurrence have altered risk to homes, or the potential for wildfire to threaten homes. We used a random forests model to predict burn

Design-based mapping of land use/land cover classes with bootstrap estimation of precision by nearest-neighbour interpolation [PDF]
Land use/land cover mapping is usually performed by classifying satellite imagery (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel) for the whole survey region using classification algorithms implemented with training data.

An SOA‐Based Model for the Integrated Provisioning of Cloud and Grid Resources
In the last years, the availability and models of use of networked computing resources within reach of e‐Science are rapidly changing and see the coexistence of many disparate paradigms: high‐performance computing, grid, and recently cloud. Unfortunately, none of these paradigms is recognized as the ultimate solution, and a convergence of them all ...

Building a Federated Data Catalog with Client Implementations - Meeting Data Where It is
Much of the dialog and technical advancement surrounding the use of earth observation data is centered on data creators and providers, whose official responsibilities end at data delivery.

Abstract Streamflow recession analysis aims to understand the controls on low‐flow dynamics in catchments. Traditionally, this involves analyzing baseflow Q and its time derivative dQ⁄dt on log‐log plots, often revealing power‐law relationships. The slope of these power laws has been interpreted through hydraulic groundwater theory.

Impacts of Land Cover Change on Urban Heat Island (UHI) in Denver from 1985 to 2020 [PDF]
Rapid urbanization due to land use and land cover change has become one of the major problems in the fastest-growing cities during the past few decades. Land surface temperature has changed dramatically due to urban expansion, and it is a major driver of

Abstract More than half of water supply in the western United States is sourced from forested lands that are increasingly under wildfire risk. Studies have begun to isolate the effects of wildfire on streamflow, but they have typically used coarse temporal resolutions that cannot account for the numerous, interconnected watershed processes that control
