Integrates multiple spatial data layers including lidar, airborne geophysics, hyperspectral remote sensing, and satellite data to characterize hillslope properties. Computes average values and percent...

Uses stable isotope ratios (δ²H and δ¹⁸O) of precipitation and streamflow to quantify the relative contributions of snow versus rain to streamflow and evapotranspiration through endmember mixing and s...

Random Forest regression to predict ecosystem drought sensitivity from hydrological and topographic variables. Uses bootstrapped subsampling with multiple regression trees to identify key predictive v...

Comprehensive approach calculating potential evapotranspiration using three established methods (Thornthwaite, Hargreaves, Penman-Monteith) and actual evapotranspiration using the Budyko model. Provid...

Combined use of major ion chemistry and Sr isotope signatures to identify distinct groundwater end members and quantify their contributions to stream flow using PCA-based end member mixing analysis.

Sulfur K-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure spectroscopy was used to determine sulfur speciation in solid samples including bedrock, soils, and sediments. Linear combination fitting was used to...

A custom atmospheric correction procedure for VSWIR hyperspectral data that uses ACORN-6LX software with 200-meter processing kernels incorporating local topography and view-angle geometry to account ...

Integration of historical aerial photography, LiDAR data, and multispectral imagery to track channel migration and identify abandoned floodplain features using automated classification in eCognition s...

Taxonomic classification of microbial communities using ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3) marker genes identified through Hidden Markov Models and phylogenetic analysis.

Climate forcing using minimum and maximum daily temperature lapse rates defined by Snow Telemetry stations adjusted for aspect.

Methane concentrations measured using headspace equilibration technique and gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector.

Spatially Continuous Riverbank Erosion and Accretion Measurements (SCREAM) software used to analyze channel masks and create centerlines and change area rasters.

Images were processed in Agisoft Metashape Software to derive a georeferenced dense point cloud and 3D model, then orthorectified and combined into a mosaic.
