Lake and reservoir surface areas are an important proxy for freshwater availability. Advancements in machine learning (ML) techniques increased accessibility of remote sensing data products have enabled the analysis waterbody area dynamics on broad spatial scales. However, interpreting ML results remains a challenge. While provides tools identifying patterns, resultant models do not include mechanisms. Thus, "black-box" nature often lacks ecological meaning. Using ML, we characterized...
Abstract For many, 2020 was a year of abrupt professional and personal change. the aquatic sciences community, many were adapting to virtual formats for conducting sharing science, while simultaneously learning live in socially distanced world. Understandably, community postponed or canceled most in‐person scientific meetings. Still, communities either transitioned annual meetings format inaugurated new Fortunately, increased use video conferencing platforms, networking communication...
Land surface temperature (LST) and its diurnal variation are the critical factors in many aspects of climate study, energy balance, environmental applications. Several satellite-based LST products available for retrievals from regional to a global scale. However, due differences sensor configurations retrieval algorithms, these may not necessarily be consistent. In this letter, consistency spatial temporal skin variations two infrared satellite platforms has been evaluated over contiguous...
Abstract Studies of lake ice phenology have historically relied on limited in situ data. Relatively few observations exist for out and fewer still in, both which are necessary to determine the temporal extent cover. Satellite data provide an opportunity better document patterns across landscapes relate them climatological drivers behind changing phenology. We developed a model, Cumulative Sum Method (CSM), that uses daytime nighttime surface temperature from Moderate Resolution Imaging...
The surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect is among the major environmental issues encountered in regions. To better predict dynamics of SUHI and its impacts on extreme events, an accurate characterization energy balance regions needed. However, ability to improve understanding limited by heterogeneity surfaces areas. This study aims enhance budget through innovation use land temperature (LST) observations from remote sensing satellites. A LST database with 5–min temporal 30–m spatial...
In this study, the world first major 305 lakes have been investigated. An analysis of surface temperature variation over global conducted using observations from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). MODIS Land Surface Temperature (LST) provides data twice a day since 2002. The products were processed to obtain average daily and their surrounding land areas July 2002 May 2018. A statistical approach was applied calculate trends lake water, land. Moreover, relationship...
The United States is continuing on the trajectory to be a racially and ethnically diverse society where non-Hispanic Whites are projected become largest group for next four decades. Whilst majority becomes minority vice versa, same trend not reflected in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) degree attainment or STEM workforce. A recent report by National Academies of Sciences, Medicine describes how minority-serving institutions widely targeted highly utilized production...
The purpose of this study is to estimate high temporal and spatial resolution land surface temperature (LST) over different types in urban regions. goal LST by combining Landsat 8 the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series (GOES-R) infrared-based LST. provides higher (30 m) estimates skin every 16 days. However, GOES-R which has lower (2 km) much (5 min). research project aims match dates that both LSTs find their relationship develop downscaling approach will account for...

Studies of lake ice phenology have historically relied on limited in situ data. Satellite-derived temperature data provide an opportunity to better understand the climatological factors and trends behind phenology. Here we developed a model that uses daytime nighttime surface observations from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor onboard Aqua approximate for 13 lakes out 58 Maine 2002–2018. Ice-in ice-out approximations were signaled by moving average crossing 0°C...
The Adirondack Park in upstate New York is renowned for its strict land use laws aimed at preserving the pristine condition of lakes. However, anthropogenic impacts continue to pose threats lake health. This study investigates health selected lakes by analyzing extensive field data collected late 1970s and 1980s, primarily focusing on acidification caused coal plant emissions. Ongoing concerns regarding algal blooms, rising temperatures, other necessitate a comprehensive understanding...
For too many undergraduate minority students, remote sensing and its plethora of applications to geophysics yet remain new, foreign, mysterious. These even with the requisite STEM backgrounds, lack exposure, awareness, understanding, engagement in foray unique lens it provides probe unearth new ways gaining knowledge about environment. To strengthen education, adequately prepare candidates become next generation geoscientists, empower sustain underserved neighborhoods, assist replenishing...
