NASA and USGS are pleased to announce that the global land survey (GLS) 2005 dataset is now essentially complete and can be downloaded from GLOVIS. 140 images remain to be added over Indonesia and Brazil.

A Ph.D. assistantship is available for an interdisciplinary study of land use and land cover change modeling and the relative influence of climate variability and land use change on hydrologic dynamics of a Rocky Mountain Watershed.

Biology-Ecology (MS and PhD) and Geology (MS) are available for Fall 2010 in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Toledo.

found at WIST by MODIS/Terra land water mask derived from MODIS and SRTM L3 Global 250m.

This product offers the capacity for users to upload, query (by themes and geographically), and download geo-referenced field photos in the library.

This database contains a set of derived parameters including screen-height max/min air temperatures, vegetation optical depth, fractional open water cover, freeze/thaw status, atmospheric water vapor content and surface soil moisture. The data are posted to a 25-km global EASE-grid projection.

The goal of the project is to investigate the relationship between changes in lake and wetland extent and the regional carbon balance in northern Eurasia over the last half-century, and to predict the likely impacts of changes in lake and wetland extent on the carbon balance in this region over the next century. Our approach is to develop a historical time series of observed lake and wetland extent via a combination of high resolution, slow-repeat-cycle SAR data (primarily from ALOS/PALSAR) and low-resolution, fast-repeat-cycle passive microwave data (primarily from AMSR-E).

The primary focus of this NASA supported research project is to examine the tradeoffs between carbon and energy fluxes in two boreal forest study regions (Interior Alaska and Cherskii Russia) across three different periods of post-fire succession: (1) immediately following fire (years 1-6 after fire), (2) at intermediate stand ages (20-40 years after fire), (3) in older stands (more than 60 years after fire).

This project was focused on the use of land cover products and spatial predictive land use modeling to inform hydrologic models and assess the risk of flooding and resource land losses associated with future development across watersheds of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions.
