The areal extent and spatial distribution of evergreen forests in the tropical zones are important for the study of climate, carbon cycle and biodiversity. However, frequent cloud cover in the tropical regions makes mapping evergreen forests a challenging task. In this study we developed a simple and novel mapping algorithm that is based on the temporal profile analysis of Land Surface Water In...

We review recent analytical work on mirroring and mimicking behavior of resonance profiles in diffent partial cross sections. This work is related to the work of Fano and Cooper on resonance profiles in total cross sections and that of Starace on resonance profles in partial cross sections. Applications of the new theories (describing mirroring and mimicking behavior) to recent experimental mea...

Shoreline change was identified as a vital sign for the Southwest Alaska Monitoring Network because land loss or gain at the marine edge has important ecological and jurisdictional implications to resource managers of coastal National Parks. To evaluate the type of shoreline changes occurring along the 82 km coastline of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, 7 of 10 cross-shore beach profiles ...
