Automated Crop Type Mapping from Landsat Imagery
Knowledge of the spatial distribution of crop types is important for many environmental and human health research studies. These studies may require crop type maps over large geographical regions for multiple years, which can be derived only from satellite images. Interpretation of Landsat images using traditional image classification techniques is not feasible for such applications because of ...
متن کاملMapping the Abundance and Distribution of Adélie Penguins Using Landsat-7: First Steps towards an Integrated Multi-Sensor Pipeline for Tracking Populations at the Continental Scale
The last several years have seen an increased interest in the use of remote sensing to identify the location of penguin colonies in Antarctica, and the estimation of the abundance of breeding pairs contained therein. High-resolution (sub-meter) commercial satellite imagery (e.g., Worldview-1, Quickbird) is capable of colony detection and abundance estimation for both large and small colonies, a...
متن کاملContinental Scale Mapping of Tidal Flats across East Asia Using the Landsat Archive
Tidal flats provide habitat for biodiversity, protection from storm surges and sea level rise, and a range of other ecosystem services. However, no simple method exists for mapping tidal flats over large (>1,000 km) extents, and consequently their global status and distribution remain poorly understood. Existing mapping methods are restricted to small areas with known tidal regimes because tida...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecalis Strain PF3, Isolated from Adélie Penguin Feces from Antarctica
Enterococcus faecalis is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections and is a common commensal organism in humans and other animals. In this study, we report a draft genome sequence for the E. faecalis strain PF3, isolated from Adélie penguin feces collected from Warriner Island, Antarctica.
متن کاملAdélie Penguin Foraging Location Predicted by Tidal Regime Switching
Penguin foraging and breeding success depend on broad-scale environmental and local-scale hydrographic features of their habitat. We investigated the effect of local tidal currents on a population of Adélie penguins on Humble Is., Antarctica. We used satellite-tagged penguins, an autonomous underwater vehicle, and historical tidal records to model of penguin foraging locations over ten seasons....
