Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

Resource managers need to be able to quickly and accurately map aquatic plants in freshwater lakes and ponds for regulatory purposes, to monitor the health of native species and to monitor the spread of invasive species. Site surveys and transects are expensive and time consuming, and low resolution imagery is not detailed enough to map multiple, small lakes spread out over large areas. This study evaluated methods for mapping aquatic plants using high resolution Quickbird satellite imagery obtained in 2007 and 2008. The study area included nine lakes in northern Indiana chosen because they are used for recreation, have residential development along their shorelines, support a diverse wildlife population, and are susceptible to invasive species. An unsupervised classification was used to develop two levels of classification. The Level I classification divided the vegetation into detailed classes of emergent and submerged vegetation based on plant structure. In the Level II classification, these classes were combined into more general categories. Overall accuracy of the Level I classification was 68% for the 2007 imagery and 58% for the 2008 imagery. The overall accuracy of the Level II classification was higher for both the 2007 and 2008 imagery at 75% and 74%, respectively. Classes containing bulrushes were the least accurately mapped in the Level I classification. In the Level II classification, the least accurately mapped class was submerged vegetation. Water and man-made surfaces were mapped with the highest degree of accuracy in both classification schemes. Overhanging trees and shore vegetation contributed to classification error. Overall, results of this research suggest that high resolution imagery provides useful information for natural resource managers. It is most applicable to mapping general aquatic vegetation categories, such as submerged and emergent vegetation, and providing general estimates of plant coverage in lakes. Better methods for mapping individual species, species assemblages, and submerged vegetation constitute areas for further research.

▼ The relationship between fen vegetation and water and soil chemistry gradients in an alkaline slope fen was studied during the growing season of 2005. Owned by Irving Materials Inc. (IMI), the fen is a two hectare property in north-central Henry County, Indiana. The objectives of the study were (1) to conduct a floral inventory of the site and determine the floristic quality index for the site; (2) to visually characterize and stratify the site into areas of similar vegetation or community types; (3) to characterize relationships, if any, existing between vegetation and chemical and hydrological gradients; and (4) to quantify spatial and temporal patterns of ground water alkalinity throughout the fen. The floral inventory revealed 287 species, representing 180 genera in 79 families. Of the documented flora, 246 are native, 41 are adventives, and 20 represent Henry County records. The Floristic Quality Index and the mean Coefficient of Conservatism suggest that the site is of nature preserve quality and contains noteworthy remnants of the region’s natural heritage. They also suggest that the adventives are having a minimal negative impact on the native flora. For quantitative vegetation analysis, fixed transects were monitored three times during the growing season (spring, summer, fall). Basic subsurface water chemistry and levels were monitored bi-weekly and 30 soil and 30 surface water samples (10 each to coordinate with the vegetation survey) were analyzed for over 35 physical parameters. In all cases, the parameters fell within the ranges of typical Midwestern fens, but most noticeably for calcium carbonate. Applying the Floristic Quality Assessment to the vegetation occurring along fixed transects, 26 species were identified with an importance value greater than one. Nonmetric, multidimensional scaling analysis of fen species dominance delineate spatial and temporal patterns in vegetation. Joint plot vectors indicate the strength and direction of correlations between soil and water chemistry variables. Nine physical parameters were useful to separate vegetation into groups. The relationship between the plants and these nine parameters is described and discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Ruch, Donald Gene, 1948- (advisor).

▼ Using the remote sensing data, this study aims to enhance our understanding of land surface features, including ecosystem distribution in association with topographic controls and climatic controls, vegetation disturbance due to natural hazards, and surface temperature changes with consideration of the influence of urbanization. In this study, the Global Inventory Monitoring and Modeling System (GIMMS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data sets from 1982 to 2006 were used to explore vegetation variation. A data mining method, Exhaustive Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector algorithm, was successfully applied to investigate the topographic influences on vegetation distribution in China. The study revealed that elevation is a predominant factor for controlling vegetation distribution among different topographic attributes (slope, aspect, Compound Topographic Index (CTI) and distance to the nearest river). Further, the study results indicated that solar radiation is the limited factor for plant growth in majority of the Northern Hemisphere in summer, and temperature is the main limitation for other seasons. Partial correlation coefficient (PCC) method was adopted to investigate the complex relationships of NDVI with weather variables (i.e., temperature, precipitation and solar radiation) and key climate indices (such as, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), Arctic Oscillation (AO), and Antarctic Oscillation (AAO)). The study indicated that AO is the most significant index in affecting the temperatures in spring and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. This study enhanced the understanding of vegetation responds to asymmetric daytime (Tmax) and nighttime (Tmin) warming in different seasons. The result revealed that asymmetric warming of Tmax and Tmin may influence vegetation photosynthesis and respiration in the plant growth in different periods across biomes. In spring and autumn, vegetation in boreal and wet temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere is positively correlated with Tmax and negatively correlated with Tmin, whereas, in dry regions the NDVI is always negatively correlated with Tmax and positively correlated with Tmin. In summer, the NDVI is negatively correlated with Tmax in many dry regions. In addition, this study developed a new index, Continued Vegetation Decrease Index (CVDI), to detect vegetation disturbance due to extreme natural hazards (such as, earthquake, wildfire, ice storms and so on). Using the Wenchuan earthquake occurred in Sichuan China on 12 May 2008 as an example, this study confirmed that the CVDI method can effectively identify the regions with severe vegetation damage, and it is expected that the newly-developed index can be used for detecting vegetation disturbance in other regions of the world. Finally, using the remote sensing data (land use data and surface temperature data) and weather station data, this study developed a new method to evaluate the urbanization influence on the temperature recorded at weather stations.

M.S. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

Knowledge of cloud cover patterns is important in effective management of natural resources, climate change studies, and remote sensing applications. The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive understanding of the spatial, seasonal, and diurnal patterns in cloud cover frequency over the Hawaiian Islands using high resolution image data (every 6 hours at 1 km) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors aboard the Terra and Aqua satellite platforms. The Terra and Aqua MODIS cloud mask products, which provide the likelihood that clouds obscure a given 1 km pixel, were obtained for the entire MODIS time series (10+ years) over the main Hawaiian Islands. Monthly statistics were generated from the daily cloud mask data, including mean cloud cover frequency at the four overpass times of ~11am, 2pm, 11pm, and 2am. The derived monthly statistics showed several significant trends that were consistent with generally known rainfall patterns. First, cloud cover frequency increased with height above the lifting condensation level (roughly 600 m) until the trade wind inversion (mean elevation 2100-2200 m), above which it was generally clear. Second, cloud cover frequency was higher on the windward (northeastern) sides of mountains than on the leeward (southwestern sides) of the mountains on all of the main Hawaiian Islands. Third, irrespective of season, mean cloud cover frequency was higher in the afternoon than in the morning and higher in the daytime than in the nighttime. Lastly, the dry season months (May – Oct) were less cloudy than the wet season months (Nov – Apr), and this pattern was stronger at nighttime than during the daytime. The derived statistics also revealed a unique and unexpected trend of anomalously low cloud cover in December and January over the Hawaiian Islands. The monthly time series produced in this thesis is the first high spatial resolution cloud cover dataset in Hawaiʻi and is expected to be a useful resource in a variety of applications, including the management of energy and fresh water resources.

▼ Remote sensing has become very promising in providing temporal and spatial information regarding biogeodynamics in large and open freshwater bodies. For this work, Lake Erie was selected as the site for study because it is a compact region within which there are a wide variety of optical properties. In this study, spectral analytical techniques such as wavelets, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and multivariate techniques are applied to a full range of hyperspectral and multispectral data to better detect, differentiate among and estimate the concentrations of CPAs in optically complex environments. These methods produced more robust algorithms that can retrieve the concentrations of the various in-water constituents.Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the first-derivative transformed hyperspectral data indicated that phytoplankton and inorganic sediments characterize up to 88% of the optical variability observed in the WBLE. PCA-based chlorophyll a and Total Suspended Matter (TSM) models yielded R2 values of 0.70 and 0.75, respectively. The associated percentage RMSE values are 11.5% and 32% for chlorophyll a and TSM, respectively. Wavelet-based spectral decomposition of first-derivative transformed hyperspectral data showed that most of the CPAs in the WBLE are characterized as having medium to high-frequency signals. The wavelet-based spectral models gave R2 values as high as 0.86 with RMSE = 9.7% for chlorophyll a prediction and R2 values of 0.88 with 15% percent RMSE for TSM. A new regional ANN algorithm is developed using Full–Resolution MERIS satellite observation for retrieval of selected CPAs. The ANN-based satellite model was able to explain 76% and 82% of the chlorophyll a and TSM variability, respectively, in the WBLE. The RMSE values for these models were 0.58 µg/l and 2.59 mg/l for chlorophyll a and TSM, respectively. The percentage RMSE in this case is approximately 8.4% and 30.1% for chlorophyll a and TSM, respectively.Calibration-validation procedures indicated that the spectral analytical techniques that employ the full range of spectral data are more stable than existing bio-optical algorithms. The results from this study and the conceptual approach may be extended to a variety of optically complex environments such as coastal areas and other large inland water bodies.

▼ Tundra snow cover is important to monitor as it influences local, regional, and global scale surface water balance, energy fluxes, and ecosystem and permafrost dynamics. Moreover, recent global circulation models (GCM) predict a pronounced shift in high latitude winter precipitation and mean annual air temperature due to the feedback between air temperature and snow extent. At regional and hemispheric scales, the estimation of snow extent, snow depth and, snow water equivalent (SWE) is important because high latitude snow cover both forces and reacts to atmospheric circulation patterns. Moreover, snow cover has implications on soil moisture dynamics, the depth, formation and growth of the permafrost active layer, the vegetation seasonality, and the respiration of C02. In Canada, daily snow depth observations are available from 1955 to present for most meteorological stations. Moreover, despite the abundance and dominance of a northern snow cover, most, if not all, long term snow monitoring sites are located south of 550N. Stations in high latitudes are extremely sparse and coastally biased. In Arctic regions, it can be logistically difficult and very expensive to acquire both spatially and temporally extensive in-situ snow data. Thus, the possibility of using satellite remote sensing to estimate snow cover properties is appealing for research in remote northern regions. Remote sensing techniques have been employed to monitor the snow since the 1960s when the visible light channels were used to map snow extent. Since then, satellite remote sensing has expanded to provide information on snow extent, depth, wetness, and SWE. However, the utility of satellite sensors to provide useful, operational tundra snow cover data depends on sensor parameters and data resolution. Passive microwave data are the only currently operational sources for providing estimates of dry snow extent, SWE and snow depth. Currently, no operational passive microwave algorithms exist for the spatially expansive tundra and high Arctic regions. The heterogeneity of sub-satellite grid tundra snow and terrain are the main limiting factors in using conventional SWE retrieval algorithm techniques. Moreover, there is a lack of in-situ data for algorithm development and testing. The overall objective of this research is to improve operational capabilities for estimating end of winter, pre-melt tundra SWE in a representative tundra study area using satellite passive microwave data. The study area for the project is located in the Daring-Exeter-Yamba portion of the Upper-Coppermine River Basin in the Northwest Territories. The size, orientation and boundaries of the study area were defined based on the satellite EASE grid (25 x 25 km) centroid located closest to the Tundra Ecosystem Research Station operated by the Government of the Northwest Territories. Data were collected during intensive late winter field campaigns in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. During each field campaign, snow depth, density and stratigraphy were recorded at sites throughout…

▼ Due to the importance of soil moisture in many fields of study, and given the sparsity of systematic research on radiative transfer features of moist soil in the optical domain, this dissertation focuses on both the spectral reflectance and transmittance features of dry and wet soils. In this work, the spectral reflectance and transmittance of soil are examined. The experiments lead to possible physical explanations for the spectral and directional features of reflectance spectra, and the results suggest how optical and proximal remote sensing might be useful in observations of soil moisture content. The first experiment considered the change in spectral reflectance of soil samples during evaporative drying. The water absorption band depths at 970 nm and 1160 nm, in near infrared, decreased monotonically as the water content decreased, but they were not detectable in all samples; these water absorption bands will not be generally useful for observing surface soil moisture. In contrast, the band depths of the 1440 nm and 1930 nm absorption features were very responsive to the water content over the entire drying cycle. The change in band depth at 1930 nm was particularly interesting since the direction of the change reversed simultaneous with soil water evaporation rate change. A simple mathematical model suggests that the pattern of change in the band depth is related to the near extinction of light at the band center relative to the band shoulders. The second experiment examined the degree to which light transmitted through quartz sand samples would maintain any directional characteristics. Transmittance decreased monotonically as the illumination angle increase, but slowly at all wavelengths. This indicates that directional radiation transmitted through the sand layer becomes diffuse with a millimeters-thin sand layer. For the saturated samples, the influence of water on light transmittance in the VNIR (350-1300 nm) was the reverse of that in the SWIR (1330-2500 nm) wavelength region. In the VNIR, transmittance increased in the saturated sample relative to the dry sample, while transmittance decreased sharply after 1330 nm, with obvious spectral features characteristic of water absorption. Analysis of transmittance by quartz sand samples suggests that most of the directional variation due to the change in illumination angle can be attributed to surface reflective loss. The implication is that the directional reflection may be treated as a surface phenomenon, with the volume reflectance contributing a diffuse component. The third experiment considered directional spectral reflectance of soil samples under dry and saturated conditions. When the samples were dry, the directional reflectance changed obviously with the phase angle, showing a stronger backward reflectance, while the forward reflectance was generally lower. For saturated soil samples, the directional characteristics of spectral reflectance apparent with dry soil were substantially reduced. In particular, the strong backward scattering weakened.

▼ Organic matter is present on many bodies in the solar system. The parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, for example, are known to contain a diverse array of organic compounds that may be relevant to prebiotic chemistry. This thesis explores near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy, a remote, rapid, and non-destructive method, for quantifying organic matter in geologic materials such as carbonaceous chondrites. Laboratory studies of clay-organic mixtures, sedimentary rocks, and carbonaceous chondrites with known organic and inorganic chemistry are used to constrain the effects of organic composition and abundance on the reflectance spectrum. Vibrational absorptions due to aliphatic and aromatic C-H bonds at 3.2 – 3.6 µm are specifically targeted as these absorptions have been detected by spacecraft and ground-based infrared observations of comets, asteroids, moons, and the interstellar medium. When organic composition is controlled, the 3.4 µm absorption strength increases linearly with abundance (wt.%) of organics in the sample. Variations in organic composition, as measured by atomic hydrogen to carbon ratio (H/C), likewise influence the strength of the aliphatic and aromatic absorptions. Reflectance spectra of pure organics (e.g. kerogen from sedimentary rocks and insoluble organic matter from meteorites) are collected to better quantify compositional variations within the spectrum and to provide a spectral library for future compositional modeling. Together the pure organic and bulk rock spectra enable the determination of detection limits for organic matter with reflectance spectroscopy in terms of organic abundance (wt.%) and composition (H/C). Ceres provides an ideal application of this laboratory work. In 2017, aliphatic organics were detected on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres with the Visible and InfraRed (VIR) spectrometer. This detection is considered within the context of meteorite, insoluble organic matter, and kerogen laboratory spectra with the goal of constraining organic abundance and composition. Spectral modeling estimates between 45 – 65% insoluble organic matter on the surface of Ceres, placing firm constraints on the origin of these organics. Other applications of this work include upcoming missions to primitive asteroids, where organics may be detected. Data and returned samples from these missions can help to test spectral models for determining the composition of planetary surfaces.

▼ Over the past four decades, the Cerrado region of Brazil has transitioned from a land of sparsely inhabited forests and shrublands to an industrial agriculture powerhouse. Here, we map annual agricultural land-use change across the biome and analyze the socioeconomic and environmental drivers and consequences of these changes focusing on Mato Grosso State, Goiás State, and the Matopiba region. Chapter 1 introduces a remote sensing methodology which allows for the classification of agricultural land covers across Mato Grosso State, Brazil between 2003-2013. The data produced with this MODIS EVI phenology-based decision tree algorithm are used to analyze determinants of agricultural expansion and abandonment in the state. Agriculture both expanded and intensified throughout the region, and scarcity of ‘good’ agricultural land may be partly responsible for the slow-down in agricultural expansion during the latter half of the study period. Chapter 2 uses a modified algorithm to map agricultural land cover across the entire Cerrado. Focusing on Brazil’s newest agricultural frontier region, Matopiba, we analyze the effects of agricultural expansion on the water balance. Our results demonstrate that this agricultural expansion has led to a decrease in evapotranspiration in the region, which could be detrimental to the water balance and ecosystem functioning of both the Cerrado and Amazon. Chapter 3 uses this Cerrado-wide dataset to determine the characteristics and drivers of sugarcane expansion in the state of Goiás. Our results demonstrate that most new sugarcane land is sourced in pasture. Moreover, the expansion of sugarcane is not subject to biophysical constraints, and instead complex interactions between global and local drivers affect its expansion. Chapter 4 discusses the Cerrado as a ‘sacrifice zone’, synthesizes the results of the previous chapters, and discusses the policy implications of this work.

▼ Feedbacks between Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere may accelerate or slow climate change over this century. This uncertainty exists because two dominant land-atmosphere feedbacks – plant sensitivity to increased heat and drought and sensitivity to rising atmospheric CO2 – remain poorly constrained. This dissertation investigates both feedbacks, integrating field observations, remote sensing, and modeling. Chapter 1 uses long-term plot observations of canopy height to characterize the sensitivity of intact tropical forest to severe heat and drought during the 1998 El Niño. The analysis finds evidence of drought resilience, as the canopy recovered to its equilibrium height distribution within 5 years. The severity of drought impacts also varied as a function of landscape topography. Chapter 2 uses a stochastic model of forest carbon dynamics to examine the mechanisms driving long-term net carbon uptake in intact Amazonian forest. Although this carbon uptake is widely attributed to CO2 fertilization – enhanced photosynthesis due to elevated atmospheric CO2 – my stochastic simulations reproduced key features of the Amazonian carbon sink, despite constant photosynthesis. This result suggests intact Amazonian forest may be less sensitive to increasing atmospheric CO2 than previously assumed. Chapter 3 assimilates tower observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and canopy photosynthesis within a canopy radiative transfer model to infer the photochemical state of the canopy. The analysis finds photochemical stress during a moderate drought reduced SIF, although photosynthesis remained constant. Sustained photosynthesis during drought may owe to elevated atmospheric CO2. The work developed in Chapter 3 offers a promising approach to global monitoring of photosynthesis via remote SIF measurements – an essential step to constraining feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.

▼ The crust of Mars used to be thought of as a simple sequence of basaltic lava flows. However, new data from orbital spectroscopy, rover observations and Martian meteorites has challenged this straightforward picture. This thesis integrates data from remote sensing, experiments and meteorite studies to put forward a more nuanced view of the crust that highlights the importance of various processes that have operated together to create and modify crustal materials on Mars. First, I show that the bulk crustal materials in Martian low-albedo regions are more consistent with basaltic breccia than intact igneous rocks, a consequence of the intense impact bombardment early in solar system history. Then, a series of experiments is used to synthesize a suite a realistic planetary glasses that are used to detect these phases on Mars and other planets using remotely sensed data. The results suggest that glasses make up a significant portion of Martian surface materials, with implications for ancient climate and preservation of potential biosignatures. Then, a new hypothesis is put forward to explain the occurrence of hydrated clay minerals throughout the crust of Mars. Using a suite of experiments and a parameterized crustal evolution model, I show that a steam or supercritical atmosphere outgassed from the cooling magma ocean should have reacted with the primary Martian crust to form a thick clay-rich layer. This layer is buried early in Martian history, but survives as a semi-coherent unit in the crust with patchy exposures of clay-rich rock at the surface. Finally, I consider the limitations of radiative transfer models that are commonly used to interpret remotely sensed data in the planetary sciences. These models are shown to have significant uncertainties, and their results are better presented in a statistical treatment rather than using a least squares approach to solve for mineral abundances and particle sizes.

▼ Potential ecological impacts of disturbance, land use, and climate change have driven many studies to evaluate ecosystem functions through the measurement of vegetation biochemical properties that provide integral information on nutrient cycling, litter decomposition, and plant productivity. The use of spectroscopy in quantifying vegetation biochemistry shows promise with faster analytical speed than traditional methods. Synergies between the Visible Near Infrared/ Short Wave Infrared (VSWIR) and Thermal Infrared (TIR) spectra for identifying plant species' foliar chemistry have been largely unexplored. Here we evaluate the capability of VSWIR and/or TIR spectra to predict leaf levels of lignin, cellulose, nitrogen, water content, and leaf mass per area. We specifically examined how these predictive relationships might change seasonally and among plant functional types. Lastly we determined whether these relationships between spectra and foliar chemistry could be extended to the reduced spectral resolution available in airborne sensors, including the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS), the Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer (HyTES), and the combined AVIRIS and MODIS/ASTER (MASTER) sensors used in the Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) preparatory flight campaign. In the 2013 spring, summer, and fall seasons, fresh leaves from sixteen common shrub and tree species in California representing three broad plant functional types were sampled from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Central Valley at the Sedgwick Reserve, and coastal Santa Barbara. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis was used to relate spectral response at wavelengths from 0.3 - 15.4 µm to laboratory-measured biochemical and biophysical properties. For each component, three PLSR models were fit using different portions of the spectrum: VSWIR (0.3 - 2.5 µm), TIR (2.5 - 15.4 µm), and the full spectrum (0.3 - 15.4 µm). Three additional models were fitted using spectra resampled to AVIRIS (0.4 - 2.5 µm), HyTES (7.5 - 12 µm), and the combined AVIRIS and MASTER (0.38 - 12 µm). The majority of the highest performing laboratory spectra models used either the TIR or full spectrum. When using simulated sensor spectra, the combined AVIRIS and MASTER produced the highest performing models, followed by HyTES. From both laboratory and sensor simulated model results, the combination of VSWIR and TIR increased the R² value of regression models compared to VSWIR alone, signifying that the inclusion of TIR data would improve predictions of foliar chemistry. We also found that model precision varied by seasons and across plant functional types. Models developed for all seasons resulted in a decreased R² value, but still had high precision (R² > 0.85) and accuracy (RMSE < 10%) when predicting cellulose, nitrogen, and water content. These results indicate that the TIR could augment the VSWIR in advancing identification of leaf properties of the world's ecosystems by helping to set the…

▼ In recent decades, the effects of urbanization on White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) (hereafter WTD) populations have become a major area of interest to wildlife professionals. However, while a fair amount of studies have compared the population dynamics of urbanized WTD populations (such as movement and survival) on a broad scale, few if any have ever attempted to compare them to a population along a localized gradient at the same place and time. Although the population dynamics of urbanized WTD seem to be consistent throughout literature, management applications may be undermined by inaccurate perceptions of how urban WTD populations respond when applications are based on conclusions from varying populations. By comparing common population dynamics such as movement and survival between adjacent groups of urban and rural WTD within the same general area, biologists can more accurately evaluate the direct impacts of urbanization on WTD within localized populations. This study was conducted in two counties in southern Indiana: Monroe and Brown. The city of Bloomington, Indiana has a healthy population of urban deer. We free darted WTD from a distance or captured them using dropnets, Clover traps, or suspended net guns. Once immobilized, WTD were equipped with GPS or VHF collars and monitored using satellite or radio telemetry to obtain location data. From January-July 2015-16 a total of 85 WTD was captured consisting of 45 urban individuals and 40 rural individuals. We used Kaplan-meier known fates models to determine survival and dispersal probabilities and occupancy models to determine excursion probability. Parameters of the models were estimated using Bayesian inference in JAGS. Covariates used in model selection included locality, season, and sex. Overall, survival rates were positively correlated between sex and season but not locality. Dispersals were predominately undertaken by males (25% of collared bucks), however they were not positively correlated by season or locality. Our results also suggest that urban WTD were less likely to be observed while on an excursion across all seasons than their rural counterparts, however the influence of sex did not affect excursion probability. Furthermore, both localities had highest excursion probabilities during the fall/winter and winter/spring seasons compared to the summer. Advisors/Committee Members: Carter, Timothy C. (advisor).

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

Heat is one of the most important factors in our atmosphere for precipitation (thunderstorm) formation. Thermal energy from local urban land-cover is also a common source of heat in the lower atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat island effect (UHI) and is identified as a substantial cause to a changing climate in surface weather modification. The proceeding study investigates this connection between the UHI and surface weather using remote sensing platforms A ten-year analysis of the Indianapolis UHI and thunderstorms were studied from the summer months of May, June, July, August and September (MJJAS) from 2002 until 2011. LANDSAT space borne satellite technology and land-surface based weather radar technology was used in this analysis for thunderstorm investigation. Precipitation areas identified from land-based NEXRAD WSR-88D technology were used to identify convection from non-synoptic forcing and non-normal surface diurnal heating scenarios. Only convection appearing from the UHI were studied and analyzed. Results showed twenty-one events over eighteen days with the year 2005 and 2011 having the largest frequency of events. The month of August had the largest concentration with seven events during the late afternoon hours. UHI results showed July had the largest heat island magnitude with April and September having the lowest magnitude in UHI temperatures. Three events of the twenty-one storm paths did not had a significant mean temperature difference in the heat island below the storm reflectivity. The nineteen storm paths that were significant had a warmer area underneath storm path development by an average 6.2°C than surrounding areas. UHI initiation points showed twelve of the twenty-one events having statistically significant differences between 2 km initiation areas and the rest of the study areas. Land-cover results showed low intensity developed areas had the most land-cover type (48%) in the 2km initiation buffer regions.

▼ Dry and wet fine earth spectral measurements were made on the Ap soil surface horizons on the Maricopa Agricultural Center by using a Barnes Modular Multiband Radiometer. Three subsets were used in the analyses 552, 101 and 11. There were three soil series, Casa Grande, Shontik and Trix, four soil mapping units, and three texture classes identified on the farm. The wet soil condition reduced the amplitude of the spectral curves over the entire spectrum range (0.45 to 2.35 μm). The spectral curves were statistically related to the soil mapping units to determine if the soil mapping units and texture classes could be separated. The wet soil condition and the smaller sample size increased the correct classification percentages for soil mapping units and texture classes. LSD tests showed there were significant differences between these groups. Simple- and Multiple-linear regression analysis were used to relate some soil physical (sand, silt and clay contents and color components) and chemical (iron oxide, organic carbon and calcium carbonate contents) to soil spectral responses in the seven bands under dry and wet conditions. There were high correlations levels among the spectral bands showing an overlap of spectral information. Generally, the red (MMR3) and near-infrared (MMR4) bands had the highest correlations with the studied soil properties under dry and wet conditions. Usually, the wet soil condition resulted in higher correlations than that for the dry soil condition over the total spectrum range. The predictive equations for sand, silt and clay and iron oxide contents were satisfactory. For organic carbon and color components, the greatest success was achieved when variation in spectral response within individual samples are smaller than that between soil mapping unit group averages. There was a poor relation between calcium carbonate and spectral response. A comparison of multi-level remotely sensed data collected by SPOT, aircraft, and ground instruments showed a strong agreement among the data sets, which correlated well to fine earth data, except for the SPOT data. Rough soil surfaces showed a reduction in reflectance altitude compared to laser level, and it appears to be directly proportional to the percent shadow in the viewing area measured by SPOT satellite and aircraft.

▼ This thesis focuses on the distribution of prehistoric artifacts in Blackford County that were recovered during the course of two Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) Grants: FY 2011 HPF Grant 31921-4 and FY 2012 HPF Grant # 18-12-41921-3. The research led to the discovery of 466 archaeological sites, but the focus of this thesis is not on the sites per se, but on the distribution of the prehistoric artifacts and an analysis of the associated behaviors. The basic question underlying this thesis is: (1) What is the distribution of human activity on the landscape of Blackford County? The related and subsidiary questions are: (2) How was the landscape being used in prehistoric times? (2a) What kinds of artifacts are found in association with others? The distribution of behaviors on the landscape may be determined by the association or disassociation of certain artifacts. (2b) What was the distance to water for all of these sites? Distance to water is important to measure because it indicates a basic necessity and it may be revealed through this analysis that certain behaviors are either closer or further from water sources. (2c) Are certain types of artifacts/behaviors associated with certain types of soils? (2d) Based on the distribution and morphology of lithic debitage, what can be said about cultural behaviors? The primary methods used in this thesis are a comprehensive metrical and morphological analysis of all prehistoric artifacts, GIS analysis of the distribution of these artifacts within their artifact types, and statistical analyses based on the GIS analysis looking for correlation and divergence among all of the artifacts. The resulting research from this thesis will greatly contribute to the knowledge of the Tipton Till Plain archaeology and further refine our understanding of the distribution of artifacts on the landscape of Blackford County, Indiana. The results indicate that the Mississinewa watershed was a persistently used area for residential activities and that the Salamonie watershed was repeatedly used as an area for resource extraction activities.
