Expansion of urban settlements has caused observed declines in ecosystem services (ES) globally, further stressing the need for informed development and policies. Incorporating ES concepts into decision making process been shown to support resilient functional ecosystems. Coupling land change models allows insights impacts anticipated trade-offs specific policy decisions. The spatial configuration urbanization likely influences delivery production ES. When considering multiple...
Models that are both spatially and temporally dynamic needed to forecast where when non-native pests pathogens likely spread, provide advance information for natural resource managers. The potential US range of the invasive spotted lanternfly (SLF, Lycorma delicatula) has been modeled, but until now, it could reach West Coast's multi-billion-dollar fruit industry unknown. We used process-based modeling spread SLF assuming no treatments control populations occur. found a low probability first...
In spite of increasing point density and accuracy, airborne lidar clouds often exhibit variations. Some these variations indicate issues with clouds, potentially leading to errors in derived products. To highlight issues, we provide an overview show examples six cloud datasets that used our topographic geospatial modeling research. Using the published literature, identified sources indicated or caused by Lastly, discuss reduction using decimations, homogenizations, their applicability.
New technologies for terrain reconstruction have increased the availability of topographic data at a broad range resolutions and spatial extents. The existing digital elevation models (DEMs) can now be updated low cost in selected study areas with newer, often higher resolution using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or terrestrial sensors. However, differences coverage levels detail create discontinuities along newly mapped area boundaries subsequently lead to artifacts results DEM analyses...
Viewscapes are the visible portions of a landscape that create visual connection between human observer and their 3-dimensional surroundings. However, most large area line-of-sight studies have modeled viewscapes using bare-earth digital elevation models, which exclude 3-D elements built natural environments needed to comprehensively understand scale, complexity naturalness an area. In this study, we compared derived from LiDAR bare earth (BE) top-of-canopy (ToC) surface models for 1000...
Recent advancements in mobile sensing and wearable technologies create new opportunities to improve our understanding of how people experience their environment. This can inform urban design decisions. Currently, an important issue is the adaptation infrastructure increasing cycle e-bike use. Using data collected from 12 cyclists on a highway between two municipalities The Netherlands, we coupled location emotion at high spatiotemporal resolution model examine relationships cyclists'...
Participatory modeling facilitates the co-production of knowledge and action by engaging stakeholders in research. However, spatial dimensions socio-environmental systems decision-making are challenging to incorporate participatory models, as developing interactive geospatial models requires specialized knowledge. Yet, many society's most pressing complex problems require that is geospatial. Existing online applications have broadened audiences who can engage with but often do not provide a...
While free and open source software becomes increasingly important in geospatial research industry, science perspectives are generally less reflected universities’ educational programs. We present an example of how can be incorporated into education to promote reproducible science. Since 2008 graduate students at North Carolina State University have the opportunity take a course on modeling analysis that is taught with both proprietary software. In this course, perform tasks simultaneously...
We present Tangible Landscape—a technology for rapidly and intuitively designing landscapes informed by geospatial modeling, analysis, simulation. It is a tangible interface powered geographic information system that gives three-dimensional spatial data an interactive, physical form so users can naturally sense shape it. Landscape couples digital model of landscape through real-time cycle manipulation, scanning, computation, projected feedback. Natural sketching analytical feedback should...
Increasing population and rural to urban migration are accelerating urbanization globally, permanently transforming natural systems over large extents. Modelling landscape change regions, however, presents particular challenges due local-scale variations in social environmental factors that drive land change. We simulated development across the South Atlantic States (SAS), a region experiencing rapid growth urbanization, using FUTURES—an open source model uses demand for development, local...
This paper presents novel and effective methods for teaching about topography--or shape of terrain--and assessing 3-dimensional spatial learning using tangibles. We used Tangible Landscape--a tangible interface geospatial modeling--to teach multiple hands-on lessons on the concepts grading (i.e., earthwork), geomorphology, hydrology. examined students' ratings system's usability user experience tested acquisition transfer knowledge. Our results suggest physicality objects enabled...
Syntaxonmical revision of azonal forest vegetation with dominance <em>Alnus glutinosa </em>and <em>A. incana </em>was done along a latitudinal transect Slovakia. A data matrix consisting 240 phytosociological relevés was obtained in accordance the standard Zürich-Montpellier approach. Detrended correspondence analysis used to clarify relationships between composition and environmental variables, whereas one-way ANOVA applied quantify differences site requirements...
Abstract. While there are numerical landscape evolution models that simulate how steady-state flows of water and sediment reshape topography over long periods time, r.sim.terrain is the first to short-term topographic change for both dynamic flow regimes across a range spatial scales. This free open-source Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based model uses empirical soil erosion physics-based shallow overland compute change. either or unsteady representation mass hydrologic based on...
Tangible Landscape is a tangible interface for geographic information systems (GIS). It interactively couples physical and digital models of landscape so that users can intuitively explore, model, analyze geospatial data in collaborative environment. Conceptually lets hold GIS their hands they feel the shape topography, naturally sculpt new landforms, interact with simulations like water flow. Since it only affords bird's-eye view landscape, we coupled an immersive virtual environment...
Managing landscape-scale environmental problems, such as biological invasions, can be facilitated by integrating realistic geospatial models with user-friendly interfaces that stakeholders use to make critical management decisions. However, gaps between scientific theory and application have typically limited opportunities for model-based knowledge reach the responsible problem-solving. To address this challenge, we introduce Tangible Landscape, an open-source participatory modeling tool...
Abstract. Today’s methods of acquiring Earth surface data, namely lidar and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery, non-selectively collect or generate large amounts points. Point clouds from different sources vary in their properties such as number returns, density, quality. We present a set tools with applications for types points obtained by scanner, structure motion technique (SfM), low-cost 3D scanner. To take advantage the vertical multiple return point clouds, we demonstrate to process...
