▼ In July 1972, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched the Earth Resources Technology Satellite-A, later renamed Landsat, which was the first of its kind. NASA launched seven more Landsats with one failure. The satellites orbited north to south covering the entire Earth while its instruments gathered imagery across several spectral bands at medium resolution of the Earth’s terrestrial and coastal surface. Using archival materials, government documents, and informal interviews, my dissertation argues in an introduction, four chapters, and a conclusion that the use of Landsat imagery changed over time and that international law and domestic policy deeply affected its availability despite a commitment by the US government to non-discriminatory access. My first chapter argued that agricultural applications became the first major application of Landsat data and later adopted by the intelligence community to conduct economic espionage on the Soviet Union. Using documents from the United Nations and American National Archives, one chapter demonstrated how these institutions deliberated over and configured international law and domestic policy such that Landsat data would be available to developing countries for use. My last two chapters describe how Landsat became a commercial entity which ultimately failed and the government recovered the program and committed to its continuity. Since Landsat’s development in the late 1960s, the satellite program began as a publicly run experimental project, commercialized into a private operation, and later became a public-private partnership. This study has the following major contributions and findings. My dissertation covers the history of the Landsat program from its origins in the 1950s to open data access in 2008 building upon previous studies of Landsat. I also argued that there are four major periods of Landsat’s history. These periods reflect the differing use and availability of Landsat throughout its history. My thesis found that the commercialization of space technology, a fast growing trend, was a highly political process that pushed Landsat from the public to private sector and led to cost-prohibitive data that drove away the user community. Similarly, the US government attempted to foster a strong foreign user base through ground stations and development programs and experienced success as well as difficulty given trade and export policies to certain countries. Lastly, Landsat, despite being a civilian program, was used heavily by the intelligence community in studies of natural resources in America’s Cold War adversaries. Overall, the various applications of Landsat data and the various laws and regulations put into place by the US federal government deeply affected Landsat data availability and ultimately made it more difficult to access throughout much of its history until the 2000s.

▼ The relationships between spectral reflectance in the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) bands and grass canopy variables were evaluated using in situ remote sensing techniques. Reflectance data were collected from experimental plots of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) using a Barnes Modular Multiband Radiometer (MMR). The canopy variables used were canopy height, canopy cover, total wet biomass, total dry biomass, aboveground plant water, and leaf area index. Statistically significant relationships were found between the spectral bands and the canopy variables. Inverse relationships in the visible (TM1, TM2, TM3) and middle infrared (TM5, TM7) regions were related to spectral absorption by plant pigments (visible) and moisture within plant tissue (middle infrared). Direct relationships in the near infrared (TM4, MMR5) were attributed to enhanced reflectance resulting from spectral scattering. Overall, no one spectral band was found to be superior in all situations, but TM5 consistently showed the lowest correlations with the canopy variables. Data sets were collected during three annual ryegrass phenological stages: early stem extension (June), anthesis (July), and senescence (August). The most significant correlations between reflectance and the canopy variables were found for the June data. High levels of biomass in July and plant senescence in August adversely affected the spectral reflectance/canopy relationships. Data from the tall fescue plots were obtained from a wide range of total wet biomass levels (16.5 - 1677.9 g/m²). The asymptotic limits, or the biomass range for which the reflectance could be used to predict changes in the canopy variables, were studied. The reflection asymptotes were nearly twice as high for the near infrared (TM4) as for the visible and middle infrared bands (TM1, TM2, TM3, TM7). The use of band ratios and normalized difference transformations did not consistantly increase correlations of spectral reflectance with the grass canopy variables. Logarithmic transformations of both the spectral bands and the canopy variables were successfully used to linearize the spectral reflectance/canopy regression functions. Redundancy was found among the absorption bands (TM1, TM2, TM3, TM7) and between the near infrared bands (TM4, MMR5). Principal component transformations were utilized to eliminate these spectral band redundancies. The seven spectral bands were reduced to two principal components, while maintaining nearly all of the variability found in the original bands. Advisors/Committee Members: Kimerling, Jon A.

▼ The arid landscape of northwestern Nevada is punctuated by agricultural communities that rely on water primarily supplied by the diversion of surface waters and secondarily by groundwater resources. Annual precipitation in the form of winter snowfall largely determines the amount of surface water that is available for irrigation for the following agricultural growing season. During years of insufficient surface water supplies, particular basins can use groundwater in order to meet irrigation needs. The amount of water used to irrigate agricultural land is influenced by land use changes, such as fallowing, and water right transfers from irrigation to municipal use. To evaluate agricultural water consumption with respect to variations in weather, water supply, and land use changes, monthly estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) were derived from Landsat multispectral optical and thermal imagery over a eleven-year period (2001 to 2011) and compared to variations in weather, water supply, and land use across four hydrographic areas in northwestern Nevada. Monthly ET was estimated using a land surface energy balance model, Mapping EvapoTranspiration at high Resolution with Internalized Calibration (METRIC), using Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 imagery combined with local atmospheric water demand estimates. Estimates of net ET were created by subtracting monthly precipitation from METRIC-derived ET, and seasonal estimates were generated by combining monthly ET for April-October (the regional agricultural growing season). Results highlight that a range of geographic, climatic, hydrographic, and anthropogenic factors influence ET. Hydrographic areas such as Mason Valley have the ability to mitigate deficiencies in surface water supplies by pumping supplemental groundwater, thereby resulting in low annual variability in ET. Conversely, the community of Lovelock has access to limited upstream surface water storage and is restricted by groundwater that is saline and unsuitable for irrigation use. These factors result in Lovelock being extremely susceptible to instances of prolonged drought, and exhibiting large fluctuations in annual ET. This work clearly illustrates that agricultural consumptive use is a function of water supply, weather, and land use change, which is useful in distinguishing how prolonged droughts and changing climate will potentially affect different hydrographic areas and agricultural communities in the future.

▼ Being able to accurately map forest carbon is a critical step in the global carbon cycle modeling and management process. This project is aimed at enhancing the current methodologies used for forest carbon mapping, and applying a method to account for any errors produced. By doing so, more accurate decisions can be made based on the knowledge gained from forest carbon maps; such as policy decisions on how to manage forests, or how to mitigate climate change. The use of remotely sensed images, in combination with Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data, is one such way of doing this. This study compared three different methods; including linear regression, cosimulation, and up-scaled cosimulation to interpolate forest carbon based on a defined relationship between sample plots of national FIA data and satellite images. An uncertainty analysis was completed in an effort to quantify, and separate the different sources of error produced within a cosimulation mapping effort. The results indicated that the band ratio of TM4 / TM5 + TM4 / TM7 had the highest correlation coefficient, around 0.56, with the FIA forest carbon values. At a resolution of 90 m ×by 90 m, co-simulation predicted carbon values from about 14 Mg/ha, to 135 Mg/ha. The regression model, at the same resolution, estimated carbon values from about -17 Mg/ha, to 2,400 Mg/ha. Up-scaled cosimulation at a resolution of 990 m x× 990 m, predicted carbon values of ranging from 16 Mg/ha, to 133 Mg/ha. The uncertainty analysis was unable to produce any statistically significant results, with all R2 values below 0.1. These results showed that using a linear regression produced some impossible estimates, while cosimulation led to more realistic values. However, no conclusion can be made when comparing the methods based on the map validation techniques used. Although limited validation of the results was conducted, using both the FIA data and some independent sampling data; further work that focuses on validation is recommended.

▼ Rapid environmental and climate change at local, regional and global scales have been a major concern for scientists in various disciplines, such as geography, economics, environment, planning, and others. Land cover and land use changes have attracted attention because of the potential effects on erosion, increased run-off, water-balance, heat islands and climatological changes. An accurate knowledge of land use and land cover characteristics is essential to study their effects on human life and the environment. Urban expansion is an important type of land use and land cover change, since it is associated with population growth and economy. Remote sensing data has proved to be significant for monitoring and detecting urban change, and for providing essential information for future development. Change detection is the process of identifying differences in a land cover by observing it at different times. Different change detection techniques are usually compared to present the best change detection results for a particular application. This paper demonstrates the use of remote sensing to study the urban expansion in Dubai and Las Vegas from 1984 to 2010 using Landsat images, and assesses two different change detection techniques, post-classification comparison and principal component analysis. Urban change can be difficult to assess in desert cities using remote sensing because of the lack of contrast between highly reflective urban surfaces and highly reflective desert landscapes. The results of an accuracy assessment process in this research shows that a post-classification comparison technique provides more accurate results for quantifying urban sprawl in Dubai and Las Vegas than principal component techniques. Post-classification comparison techniques delivered more accurate results that ranged from 87.88% to 94.74%, while principal component analysis provided results with accuracies that varied from 46.94% to 83.92%. The reason for these variations in accuracy was the utilization of the unsupervised classification process on PCA multi-temporal images versus the supervised classification process.

O sensoriamento remoto tem sido uma ferramenta bastante utilizada em diferentes campos das ciências e não seria diferente na agricultura sendo um dos principais motivos de sua utilização a facilidade para a obtenção de dados dos sensores, já que muitos são disponibilizados gratuitamente em plataformas na internet. É indiscutível que a agricultura é um dos maiores consumidores dos recursos hídricos e que seu uso quando de forma adequada pode gerir excelentes resultados na produção dos cultivos agrícolas. A hipótese do estudo é que técnicas de sensoriamento remoto, aplicadas na área de interesse, podem se transformar em ferramenta para a gestão dos recursos hídricos dedicados à agricultura irrigada com cobertura de palha no solo. Nesse contexto o objetivo principal da pesquisa foi monitorar através do sensoriamento remoto o desenvolvimento do feijoeiro conduzido em sistema de Pivô Central cultivado com cobertura de palha no solo, na região de Paranapanema-SP, determinando quais parâmetros poderão ser utilizados para a gestão da irrigação. O estudo foi desenvolvido através da análise de imagens Landsat e Terra para obtenção do índice de vegetação por diferença normalizada (NDVI) por sensoriamento remoto e suas relações com outras variáveis (umidade do solo, índice de área foliar e evapotranspiração) a fim de parametrizar o desenvolvimento do feijoeiro, além da aplicação do modelo de índice de umidade do solo (IUS). Observou-se uma similaridade no comportamento do NDVI tanto nas imagens obtidas pelo satélite Landsat quanto Terra, onde no início do cultivo o NDVI é baixo devido à baixa porcentagem de cobertura verde e à medida que a cultura se desenvolve esses valores aumentam com o acréscimo da cobertura vegetal onde o ponto máximo é verificado na fase de enchimento do grão e decréscimo na maturação. Com a determinação de um índice (IUS) por sensoriamento remoto infere-se a umidade do solo e é possível monitorar as condições do feijoeiro durante o período de cultivo.

Remote sensing has been a tool widely used in different fields of science and it would not be different for agriculture. It is ease to obtaining data from sensors, since many are available on platforms on the internet. There is no doubt that agriculture is one of the largest consumers of water resources, and when properly manage, excellent results are obtained from agricultural crops production. The main objective of the study was to monitor through remote sensing the development of bean conducted under Central Pivot irrigation, cultivated with no-till and direct seedling, in the region of Paranapanema-SP. Additionally determining which parameters may be used for the irrigation management. The study hypothesis was that remote sensing techniques, applied in the area of interest, can become a tool for the management of water resources devoted to irrigated agriculture with no-till and direct seedling. The study was developed through the analysis of Landsat and Terra images, obtaining the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) by remote sensing and its…

Este trabalho objetivou pesquisar a relação da temperatura de superfície (LST) e do estoque de carbono no solo (ECS) com os diferentes tipos de uso e cobertura do solo (UCT). Sabe-se que tais parâmetros podem ser influenciados pelas atividades antrópicas, podendo afetar a integridade do agroecossistema (IAG) da bacia do Rio Corumbataí (BRC). Entende-se por IAG, a capacidade de manutenção de suas propriedades \"primitivasë prestação de serviços ecossistêmicos à sociedade. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, a dinâmica de UCT foi mapeada, a partir da classificação de imagens do satélite Landsat e fotografias aéreas, dos anos de 1962 a 2011. A LST foi obtida por técnicas de sensoriamento remoto, utilizando a banda termal do sensor TM (Thematic Mapper) do Landsat, para os anos de 1985, 1990, 1995, 1999, 2002 e 2011. A análise do ECS foi feita a partir da coleta de amostras de solo, em diferentes UCT: mata nativa, cana-de-açúcar, pastagem e fruticultura, na profundidade de 0-10 e 10-20 cm. Os resultados indicaram que a LST e os ECS da área de estudo são influenciados pelo UCT e pelo manejo das culturas. Verificou-se ainda que algumas políticas agrícolas, adotadas no período de 1962 a 2011, influenciaram a dinâmica de UCT e, consequentemente, a capacidade do agroecossistema da BRC no fornecimento de serviços ecossistêmicos e também geraram custos ambientais. A abordagem interdisciplinar adotada neste trabalho, com o emprego das geotecnologias, mostrou ser capaz de avaliar a integridade do agroecossistema da BRC, podendo subsidiar o planejamento de uso do solo visando a maximizar a relação benefício/custo das atividades antrópicas, considerando a LST e o ECS. Tal abordagem pode ser aplicada em diferentes áreas do conhecimento para a análise da sustentabilidade e integridade ambiental dos agroecossistemas.

In this work, the aim was search the relationship between both surface temperature (LST) and soil organic carbon (SOC) with several sort of land use cover (LUC). We know such a parameters can be influenced by anthropic activities, it can affects the Corumbataí River basin (CRB) agro ecosystem integrity (AGI). AGI means, the capacity of both maintenance of its \"primitivep̈roperties and supplies public ecosystem service. Reaching the proposed goal, the LUC dynamic was mapping through both Landsat-TM image classification and aerial photography from 1962 to 2011. The LST has been obtained by remote sensing technique through Lansat-TM thermal band to the years 1985, 1990, 1995, 1999, 2002 and 2011. The ECS analyze was carried out by soil sample collected in different type of LUC: forest native, sugar cane, pasture and orchard, in the 0-10 and 10-20 cm depths. The results have indicated both the BRC of the LST and SOC are influenced by both together LUC and crop tillage. Furthermore, some agricultural policy adopted during from 1962 to 2011 influenced the LUC dynamic, thus the CRB agro ecosystem capacity of supply agro ecosystem services as well as provided environmental cost. The interdisciplinary approach employed,…

▼ Monitoring coastal or inland waters, recognized as case II waters, using the existing Landsat technology is somewhat restricted because of its low Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) as well as its relatively poor radiometric resolution. As a primary task, we introduce a novel technique, which integrates the Landsat-7 data as a surrogate for LDCM with a 3D hydrodynamic model to monitor the dynamics of coastal waters near river discharges as well as in a small lake environment. The proposed approach leverages both the thermal and the reflective Landsat-7 imagery to calibrate the model and to retrieve the concentrations of optically active components of the water. To do so, the model is first calibrated by optimizing its thermal outputs with the surface temperature maps derived from the Landsat-7 data. The constituent retrieval is conducted in the second phase where multiple simulated concentration maps are provided to an in-water radiative transfer code (Hydrolight) to generate modeled surface reflectance maps. Prior to any remote sensing task, one has to ensure that a dataset comes from a well-calibrated imaging system. Although the calibration status of Landsat-7 has been regularly monitored over multiple desert sites, it was desired to evaluate its performance over dark waters relative to a well-calibrated instrument designed specifically for water studies. In the light of this, several Landsat- 7 images were cross-calibrated against the Terra-MODIS data over deep, dark waters whose optical properties remain relatively stable. This study is intended to lay the groundwork and provide a reference point for similar studies planned for the new Landsat. In an independent case study, the potential of the new Landsat sensor was examined using an EO-1 dataset and applying a spectral optimization approach over case II waters. The water constituent maps generated from the EO-1 imagery were compared against those derived from Landsat-7 to fully analyze the improvement levels pertaining to the new Landsat's enhanced features in a water constituent retrieval framework.

▼ The Landsat series of satellites is the longest set of continuously acquired moderate resolution multispectral satellite imagery collected on a single maintained family of instruments. The data are very attractive because the entire archive has been radiometrically calibrated and characterized so that sensor reaching radiance values are well known. However, these values are not easily understood or applied, so this dataset has not been utilized to its fullest potential. This work focuses on atmospheric compensation at each Landsat pixel which will later be used with ASTER derived emissivity data from JPL to perform LST retrievals. We develop a method to automatically generate the effective in band radiative transfer param- eters transmission, upwelled radiance, and downwelled radiance for each pixel. We validate our methodology by comparing our predicted apparent temperatures to ground truth water tempera- tures derived from buoy data at a number of validation sites around the continental United States. Initial validation was performed using Landsat 5. Results show a mean error of -0.267 K and a standard deviation of 0.900 K for 259 cloud free scenes in the validation dataset. Based on the same validation dataset, our current best expectation for a confidence metric for the final product involves categorizing each pixel as cloudy, clouds in the vicinity, or cloud free based on the incorpo- ration of a Landsat cloud product. The mean and standard deviation of the errors associated with each category will be included as a quantitative basis for each category. To support future work, we explore the extension to a global dataset and possible improvements to the atmospheric compensation by more closely exploring the column water vapor contribution to error. Finally, we acknowledge the need for a more formal incorporation of the cloud product, and possibly improvements, in order to finalize the confidence metric for the atmospheric compensation component of the product.

▼ Moderate resolution remote sensing data offers the potential to monitor the long and short term trends in the condition of the Earth’s resources at finer spatial scales and over longer time periods. While improved calibration (radiometric and geometric), free access (Landsat, Sentinel, CBERS), and higher level products in reflectance units have made it easier for the science community to derive the biophysical parameters from these remotely sensed data, a number of issues still affect the analysis of multi-temporal datasets. These are primarily due to sources that are inherent in the process of imaging from single or multiple sensors. Some of these undesired or uncompensated sources of variation include variation in the view angles, illumination angles, atmospheric effects, and sensor effects such as Relative Spectral Response (RSR) variation between different sensors. The complex interaction of these sources of variation would make their study extremely difficult if not impossible with real data, and therefore, a simulated analysis approach is used in this study. A synthetic forest canopy is produced using the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) model and its measured BRDFs are modeled using the RossLi canopy BRDF model. The simulated BRDF matches the real data to within 2% of the reflectance in the red and the NIR spectral bands studied. The BRDF modeling process is extended to model and characterize the defoliation of a forest, which is used in factor sensitivity studies to estimate the effect of each factor for varying environment and sensor conditions. Finally, a factorial experiment is designed to understand the significance of the sources of variation, and regression based analysis are performed to understand the relative importance of the factors. The design of experiment and the sensitivity analysis conclude that the atmospheric attenuation and variations due to the illumination angles are the dominant sources impacting the at-sensor radiance.

▼ Wetlands, known as ciénegas, were once found throughout the basin and range physiographic province in southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, northern Sonora, and northwestern Chihuahua. These groundwater-dependent wetlands are now largely desiccated due to overgrazing, groundwater depletion, and the resulting incision of streams and rivers. This study consists of four components. First, a more complete inventory of the location of historical ciénegas is compiled. This is accomplished using peer-reviewed journal articles, historical maps, journals from explorers and pioneers, and USGS topographic maps. Second, the geographic extent of the documented ciénegas is hand-digitized through photo interpretation of aerial imagery. Each ciénega is divided by its activity status and the land cover succession path it followed. Third, the zonal statistics for a suite of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)-derived indices and elevation derivatives such as slope and aspect are compiled. Geospatial datasets that exhibit low variability among different succession paths are further analyzed as being possible predictor variables for the status or land cover type succession path of a ciénega. The two best predictor variables are the normalized burn ratio (NBR) and the thermal infrared (TIR) band. These two variables are used in a classification tree model to determine the location of other undocumented areas that are likely active ciénegas. The fourth component involves monitoring the trends of inactive, as well as active, ciénegas over the past 25 years using the two most sensitive predictor variables. The interannual variability is indicative of changes in vegetation cover, as well as the degree of saturation of the soil. This component indicates that inactive and active ciénegas have experienced relatively uniform patterns of change that are highly correlated with annual precipitation patterns of the study region. This study results in a more complete inventory of the location and geographic extent of historical ciénegas, as well as a better understanding of the variables that can be used to identify different succession paths of ciénegas and possible undocumented active ciénegas. Additionally, for the first time, the recent trends of change for documented ciénegas have been analyzed using remote sensing techniques. This study serves as a preliminary inventory in what should be a series of studies to gain an understanding of the historical and paleodynamics of ciénegas, as well as possible restoration opportunities across a larger geographic area.

▼ Tallgrass prairies are one of the rarest ecosystems on the planet as up to 99% of their historical extent has been converted to agriculture. Once a prairie is converted there is often a loss of ecosystem services such as soil retention, carbon storage, water quality and a loss of biodiversity. It can take centuries to restore a native prairie after conversion has taken place. The Sheyenne National Grassland is managed by the U.S. Forest Service and contains the largest publicly owned tract of tallgrass prairie remaining in North America making it a highly valuable for conservation. Ordinary least squares regression was implemented to evaluate statistically significant trends at a per pixel basis in selected Vegetation Indices (VI) between the years of 1984 and 2011 on the Sheyenne National Grassland. VIs included NDVI, NDII RGR and SWIR32. Additionally, a Composite Index which sought to combine information from the original four indexes was created to evaluate the usefulness of combining indexes. A random forest regression model was also used to evaluate which independent variables were the most useful in predicting VI values through time. Between 1984 and 2011 the NDVI and NDII have increased while the RGR and SWIR32 have decreased. This indicates that greenness and wetness have increased through time while stress and non-photosynthetic vegetation have decreased. It is likely that the increase in NDVI is driven by a complex relationship between the influence of climate change and cattle grazing on the relative abundance of C3 and C4 plants. It is hypothesized that continuously stocked cattle grazing has reduced the vigor and competitive ability of native C4 grasses which competitively releases C3 grasses that are more tolerant of grazing and are primarily invasive. In addition to the competitive release of cattle grazing, C3 establishment is promoted through increased spring precipitation which has increased over the last century.

▼ The Kaseba-Katota area is part of the Mesoproterozoic Irumide fold belt trending in a northeast - southwest direction and covers part of the Eastern and Central provinces of Zambia. Outcrops in the area include metasediments, which have been subjected to intense deformation resulting in strong foliation, recumbent and overturned folding. In places, the rocks seem to have undergone anatexis as indicated by ductile flow structures and heavily silicified layers. The general trend of foliation and schistosity is northeast - southwest. Foliation planes are mainly vertical or dip steeply to the east. The northeast - southwest Irumide structures are in places interfered by northwesterly trending structures of the Pan African Lufilian Orogeny. The rocks are characterised by vertical faults and joint patterns. The dominant joint pattern strikes between 30° -80°.Pegmatites in the Kaseba-Katota area commonly occur as lensoids and rarely form extensive and continuous tabular bodies. Most of the pegmatites in the belt are small, varying from 10 to 50 m in length and usually form small hills rising above the general surrounding up to about 6 m high. The pegmatites are associated with migmatites, schists, and micaceous quartzites. The contacts between the pegmatites and the host rocks range from very sharp to gradational. Chief minerals of the pegmatites are quartz, feldspar and mica. Most of the pegmatites have been exploited commercially for aquamarine, beryl, tourmaline and garnet. Although the pegmatites host abundant muscovite and feldspar, these have not been exploited. A digital database of the Kaseba - Katota area consists of geology, lineaments, faults (interpreted from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) image and aerial photographs), joints and foliation traces (mapped in the field). Remote sensing techniques. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as well as statistical analyses applied to this digital database and the resulting maps show that the strike of economical important pegmatites is parallel and controlled by NNE to ENE - trending lineaments, foliation and joints in the area. The conceptual model shows that the rifting of the continental crust started around 1700 Ma followed by tectonic events some of which were responsible for the emplacement of the pegmatites and ended in the Pan-African Orogeny. This thesis therefore, applied remote sensing techniques and GIS techniques for lineament mapping and generation of a conceptual model as a tool for delineating target areas for pegmatite exploration.

▼ The satellite images have been used to map, monitor and quantify the quality of natural resource. The detailed mapping of mangrove vegetation is an increasing demand because it is a valorous Valorous instrument of knowledge, maintenance and management of the mangrove ecosystem in relation to changes caused by anthropic actions and/or natural activities to global changes. This work combined multispectral data from the visible and near infrared of the LANDSAT-8 system with Monospectral data from RADARSAT-2, combined with hyperspectral data of the spectroradiometry and Vegetation Index in the segmentation and classification of some mangroves in the Northeast of Brazil, taking into account the diversity of environments present in the total area of the study. As the final result of the segmentation and classification process, we calculate that the mangroves in the study area occupy a total area of approximately 5.392ha. The species R. mangle is the dominant species, totaling an area of 3,350 ha, representing 62.13% of the total area, of this total about 2,861 ha are occupied by R. mangle I (size and conventional densification), representing 53.06% of the total area; 489 ha for structural phyto condition R. mangle II (short stature and very dense), about 9.07% of the total area; mixed regions of species or transition between them occupy area of 1092 ha, about 20.25% of total area, then the specie A. schaueriana occupying an area of 950 ha, about 17.62% of the total area. This study met the expectations to get the greater efficiency in the spatial lifting for monitoring the quality of this highly sensitive ecosystem on the environmental changes: as support their preservation and transformation into a Clean Development Mechanism Project. For such, was made the estimation of trapped CO2 in mangrove forests belonging to Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Estadual Ponta do Tubarão (RDSEPT) by Indirect Method nondestructive. The total estimates on the mean of trapped CO2 in each hectare occupied by the species R. mangle is 39.93t, L. schaueriana is 28.47t and the regions of mixed species is 34.20t. It is estimated that the total quantification of trapped CO2 in the RDSEPT is 17156.51t. By the obtained values, we realized that the values of mangrove in the RDSEPT in general have a great potential to generate biomass and consequently imprison CO2. It is able to generate a valuable financial opportunity, justifying the preservation of this ecosystem.

▼ The extraction of bathymetry by satellite image is an activity that has been evolving in its methodology due to the aerospacial technological advances. Satellite images of a wide electromagnetic capture are able to bring information that are beyond traditional photographs. They are images that, through some specific calculations methodologies can show, for example, the depth of the ocean. The literature shows that it is not yet known which calculation methodology is most appropriate. Another key point involved in the process is the generation of bathymetric maps by interpolation from clouds of points, there are several methods of interpolation today, but much is still debated about which are the most appropriate for each case. The mapping of the seabed is an activity performed for several purposes. It can be used for navigation, oil reservoir prospecting, environmental monitoring, wave modeling, coastal erosion study and others. Brazil has one of the largest coastlines in the world with more than 8500 km of extension, many of its cities have been installed on the coast and are submitted to the consequences of problems associated with the sea, coastal erosion, urban disorder, landscape impact, ecological impact etc. This necessitates a deeper study of ocean floor mapping models. Moura (2010) did the interpolation analysis using bathymetry data obtained by Nautical Charts and bathymetry data obtained in loco. In his work a series of 12 interpolators were evaluated. A satellite image of Gomes et al. (2007) was used to aid in a visual evaluation of the results. The present work has as general objective to complement the analysis of Moura (2010), providing a quantitative reference to make this evaluation, from a bathymetry extraction of a Landsat 8 Satellite Image of the region. The methods of bathymetry extraction used were Mcfeeters (1996) and Philpot (1989). The extraction of bathymetry was done with the software Arcgis, Envi and Matlab. The interpolations were made in the Surfer and the data were compared to each other using the statistical analysis of Correlation Coefficient (R²), concordance index (d), MAPE, RMSE and Cross Validation. In terms of the results of the bathymetry extraction, Mcfeeters (1996) was the method that brought better representation of the region. In terms of result of the interpolations of the in-situ bathymetry data, the Interpolators Local Polynomial, Inverse Distance, Minimum Curvature were chosen the most representative methods. For nautical chart data, the Natural Neighbor, Triangulation with Linear Interpolation, Kriging, and Radial Base Function interpolators were classified as the most appropriated interpolation methods because they had the best statistic results.

▼ High Mountain Asia (HMA) has been strongly impacted by climate change, and will continue to be impacted by diverse climate stressors in the coming years. A combination of changing weather patterns and retreating glaciers has begun to impact water resources in the region; the rate, extent, and mechanisms behind these changes are poorly quantified due to a lack of data and process understanding. As rivers sourced in HMA feed more than a billion people in the region, increased understanding of climate impacts on regional hydrology is essential for effective water management. Glaciers play a diverse role in hydrology throughout the range, with some catchments having little to no reliance on glacial meltwater, and some catchments receiving almost all of their water from glaciers. This study aims to decipher the impact of climate change on glaciers in the Tien Shan mountain range, a large and understudied region that extends roughly 2,800 km northeast from the Pamir Knot in Tajikistan through China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia towards the Altai Mountains.Previous studies in the region lack the data to decipher gradients in glacial retreat across the range. To address this data deficit, the author designed and implemented a glacial mapping algorithm which delineates both clean glacial ice – methods which are well documented – and glacial debris tongues, which often require extensive manual digitization. This research is the most significant part of the thesis, and improves upon methods developed to automatically delineate glacial areas using spectral, topographic, velocity, and spatial relationships. The author found that the algorithm misclassifies between 2 and 10% of glacial areas, compared to a ~700 glacier control dataset. These results show significant improvement over previously used methods, as well as large-scale glacier databases such as the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) which are commonly used in mountain-belt scale studies of glaciers.After validating the algorithm against multiple manually digitized control datasets, the author applied it to a study area encompassing six Landsat scene footprints along the strike of the Tien Shan Orogen. A statistically significant, though minor, gradient in glacier retreat was found, where those glaciers in the west of the range have retreated less than those glaciers in the east. This gradient is explained by differences in regional climate, where large winter storms tend to arrive from the west and break apart and weaken before moving towards the eastern edge of the range. This is substantiated by differences in mean annual precipitation, as derived from Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) 3B43 V7 data, as well as differences in atmospheric lapse rates, where the western region of the range remains cold year-round and the more eastern edges have larger annual temperature fluctuations, as well as a lower overall lapse rate, which implies higher temperatures at higher elevations. As glacial area extents do not present a complete picture of the impacts of…

▼ Glaciers play an important role in sea level predictions and are an important supplier of fresh water. Understanding the physics and dynamics of glaciers is important in local and global climate predictions and predictions of fresh water supplies. The Himalayas are the biggest storage of fresh water outside the polar regions with many different local climates and glaciers. One important glacier parameter used in dynamic studies is the flow velocity, as the flow velocity is used as a boundary condition in mass balance and run-off models. The flow velocity of a glacier is relatively easy to measure on a large scale using satellite missions and the increased coverage of satellite missions provides the means to large scale velocity monitoring. Robust methods for measuring large scale seasonal and long term velocity dynamics of glaciers, however, remain an elusive goal. The optical Landsat mission has a long history of monitoring and is thus useful for long term flow velocity analysis. Feature tracking algorithms applied on these Landsat images provide means of automatically calculating large scale velocities. Automated approaches for large scale analysis are difficult because of the lack of validation and good filtering techniques to deal with shadows, surface changes and clouds. Large scale temporal analysis is even harder because the errors arising in the flow velocity calculations are often large compared to the velocities due to the short periods between the images from which the velocities are calculated. This research proposes, implements and tests a new method for automatically creating large scale velocity time series using the optical Landsat database and feature tracking in the Himalayas. Where normally velocity time series consists of consecutive single velocity fields, the novel method uses combinations of velocities to estimate these single velocities. This method is tested against results from single velocity fields for the Everest region and the Karakoram region. A sensitivity and parameter analysis provides the best parameter settings for the new method. The result is a novel method that provides validation, robustness and acts as a filter for erroneous velocities. When possible, the new method increases or retains the number of results while increasing the precision. Furthermore, when the number of results is lower, it is due to filtering of erroneous velocities. The new method also provides an error indication which could be of use in future research. The main sources of errors: geo-location and precision of the feature tracking algorithm, are shown to have a large effect on the results and should be as small as possible. The magnitude of these errors make it difficult to measure seasonal changes in flow velocity for slow moving glaciers. Furthermore, Landsat 4-5 TM results are shown not to be useful for dense time series as the geo-location accuracy and artifacts from the TM scanner have a large effect on the precision of these results. The Landsat 8 velocity results,… Advisors/Committee Members: Lindenbergh, Roderik (mentor), Lhermitte, Stef (graduation committee), Menenti, Massimo (graduation committee), Gourmelen, N (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Changes in watershed vegetative cover from natural and anthropogenic causes including, climatic fluctuations, wildfires and land management practices, can result in increased surface water runoff and erosion. Hydrologic models play an important role in the decision support process for managing these landscape alterations. However, model parameterization requires quantified measures of watershed biophysical condition to generate accurate results. These inputs are often obtained from nationally available land cover data sets that are static in terms of vegetation condition and phenology. Obtaining vegetative data for model input of sufficient spatiotemporal resolution for long-term, watershed-scale change analysis has been a challenge. The purpose of this research was to assess the implications of parameterizing the event-based, Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) with dynamic, remotely sensed foliar cover data. The study was conducted on a small, instrumented, grassland watershed within the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed surrounding Tombstone, Arizona. A time series of foliar cover rasters was produced by calibrating Landsat-based Soil Adjusted Total Vegetation Index (SATVI) scenes with field measurements. Estimates of basal and litter cover were calculated using allometric relationships derived from ground-based transect data. The model was parameterized using these remotely sensed inputs for all recorded runoff events from 1996-2014. Model performance was improved using the remotely sensed foliar cover compared to using an a priori value based on static national land cover classes. Significant (p<0.05) correlation was shown for the linear relationships between foliar cover and SATVI, foliar cover and basal cover, and foliar cover and litter cover. The integration of Landsat-based vegetative data into RHEM shows potential for modelling on a broadened spatiotemporal scale, allowing for improved landscape characterization and the ability to track watershed response to long-term vegetation changes.

▼ The objective of this thesis is to design and perform an experimental study to demonstrate how census data, urban land-cover classifications, and dasymetric mapping may be combined together to map and measure urban growth. The experiment explored urban growth using 1990, 2000, and 2010 census population data and satellite-derived urban land-cover data. The premise of this thesis was that if the combination of these techniques is found to provide an effective method of measuring urban growth, then urban planners and city managers should be advised to use them together when measuring development patterns and forecasting growth scenarios of urban areas. Census tract population data for 1990, 2000, and 2010 and satellite-derived urban land-cover data were used for the analysis. The study areas included the Lower Rio Grande Valley, TX (LRGV) region and the Hidalgo County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) planning area. Census tract relationships were established across census years to account for changes in tract boundaries. Population counts from 2000 and 2010 were adjusted to 1990 census tract boundaries. Population change, growth rate, and the share of regional growth were calculated for each census tract to identify areas that have experienced substantial growth. Results showed that four census tracts within the Hidalgo County MPO planning area contributed to nearly 25% of the growth of the entire region. Additionally, the Hidalgo County MPO planning area accounted for nearly 70% of the growth of the entire region. Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery was acquired to coincide with each census year. Landsat images where classified using a 30-class ISO Cluster unsupervised classification. Results from these classifications where used to create training samples for high, medium, and low density urban land-covers. Supervised classification was performed for each year resulting in three urban land-cover classes and one uninhabited class. Classification results were explored and plotted for each year to determine land-cover changes by urban density type. Results showed that the Hidalgo County MPO planning area has seen an increase in medium density development and a decline in low density development in the past decade. Multi-class weighted dasymetric mapping was performed using the aforementioned census tract data and urban land-cover classifications. The Dasymetric Mapping Extension (DME) for ArcMap 10 was utilized. Dasymetric population density maps were compared to choropleth population density maps. Dasymetric results where explored further for the four census tracts that contributed most to the region's population growth. Results indicate that the majority of the population resided in medium density developments by 2010, however, the areas that contributed most to population growth were still composed largely of low density urban development.

▼ Problem: this is the first time that the SLEUTH model has been applied to Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties. Here, dasymetric mapping and censuses from the simulations are performed, generating three scientific questions. First, how will the Cellular Automaton (CA) model depict the different urban and other landscape changes? Second, what results will these simulations produce if dasymetric mapping and censuses from the sky are applied under past, present and future conditions? Third, using this CA model, will it be possible to replicate alternative scenarios such as smart growth and urban sprawl? The answers to these questions are the main contributions of this research to the fields of geographic techniques and demographics in space and time. Methods: imagery classification was applied to Landsat MSS and TM according to Anderson Level I; accuracy classification was performed comparing the classified images against sample points taken from air photos and DOQQs; SLEUTH was implemented in a high performance computer; dasymetric mapping using Geolytics databases developed in ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine; and finally, census from the simulations were generated using linear regressions and the allometric growth model. Results: the results were graphical and statistical outputs of all methods previously mentioned plus analyses of these maps and statistics about land cover and demographics. The SLEUTH simulations produced yearly graphical and statistical results from 1975 until 2025. Conclusions: urban expansion principally affects agriculture, rangelands, grasslands and forests; barrenlands also suffer from development, especially the beaches, showing unprecedented rates of urban growth. Smart growth provided an alternative strategy in which urban growth occurred in a more compact way, increasing its population density and decreasing the open space in the metro areas. Finally, the other scenariocalled urban sprawl simulated urban growth at a higher rate than normal, encouraging spontaneous and edge growth and lower population densities.
