Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) are rapidly transforming atmospheric research. With the advancement of development and application these systems, improving knowledge best practices for accurate measurement is critical achieving scientific goals. We present results from an intercomparison data Lower Atmospheric Process Studies at Elevation-a Remotely piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE) field campaign. evaluate a total 38 individual sUAS with 23 unique sensor platform...
ABSTRACT Because unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) offer new perspectives on the atmosphere, their use in atmospheric science is expanding rapidly. In support of this growth, International Society for Atmospheric Research Using Remotely-Piloted Aircraft (ISARRA) has been developed and convened annual meetings “flight weeks.” The 2018 flight week, dubbed Lower Profiling Studies at Elevation–A Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE), involved a 1-week deployment to Colorado’s San Luis Valley. Between 14 20...
The use of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) as platforms for data capture has rapidly increased in recent years. However, while there been significant investment improving the aircraft, sensors, operations, and legislation infrastructure such, little attention paid to supporting management complex pipeline sUAS involve. This paper reports on a four-year, community-based investigation into tools, practices, challenges that currently exist particularly researchers using platforms. key...
The widespread use of social media has created a valuable but underused source data for the environmental sciences. We demonstrate potential images posted to website Twitter capture variability in vegetation phenology across United States National Parks. process subset within eight U.S. Parks, with aim understanding amount green each image. Analysis relative greenness show statistically significant seasonal cycles most Parks at 95% confidence level, consistent springtime green-up and fall...
Core Ideas Manure injection increased N 2 O emissions vs. broadcast and + plow application. Winter thaws CO emissions, particularly in soils injected with manure. The impacts of manure application decisions may extend beyond the growing season to influence fluxes during winter thaw events. Climate agricultural management are strong drivers greenhouse gas (GHG) but little is known about potential interactions among these drivers. change will likely increase frequency wintertime northern...
Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are an increasingly common tool for data collection in many scientific fields. However, there few standards or best practices guiding the collection, sharing, publication of collected with these tools. This makes collaboration, quality control, and reproducibility challenging. To that end, we have used iterative rounds modeling user engagement to develop a Minimum Information Framework (MIF) guide sUAS users collecting metadata necessary ensure their is...
Behind the facades of humanity’s technological advances and urban lifestyles, there is in fact no real wall that separates us from web life. Biology, physics, Western social theory, Indigenous scholarship all tell we are embedded natural world; to operate otherwise a dangerous misconception leads human-centered ecological crises currently face. And yet many scientific communities, including those concerned with environment sustainability, continue incorporate human-first, human-separate...

In this forum we highlight innovative thought, design, and research in the area of interaction design sustainability, illustrating diversity approaches across HCI communities. --- Roy Bendor, Editor
Farmers and policy makers pursue management practices that enhance water quality, increase landscape flood resiliency, mitigate agriculture’s contribution to climate change, all while remaining economically viable. This study presents a holistic assessment of how two influence the supply these ecosystem services—the use an aerator prior manure application in haylands, stacked injection, cover crops, reduced tillage corn silage production. Field data are contextualized by semi-structured...
