Erosion modelling for land management in the Tahoe basin, USA: scaling from plots to forest catchments

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2012
United States of America

Land management and its effects on water quality are a concern where regulatory agencies work to establish sediment and/or nutrient loadings. Runoff and erosion measurement in the field and modelling at the catchment scale are often the only means of generating realistic data and results for subsequent analyses. As such, it is critical to link local-scale field measurements associated with the range of land uses or soil restoration efforts with the catchment-scale sediment loading.

Assessing the Utility of Satellite Imagery with Differing Spatial Resolutions for Deriving Proxy Measures of Slum Presence in Accra, Ghana

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2012
Ghana

Little research has been conducted on how differing spatial resolutions or classification techniques affect image-driven identification and categorization of slum neighborhoods in developing nations. This study assesses the correlation between satellite-derived land cover and census-derived socioeconomic variables in Accra, Ghana to determine whether the relationship between these variables is altered with a change in spatial resolution or scale.

Global characterization and monitoring of forest cover using Landsat data: opportunities and challenges

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2012
Global

The compilation of global Landsat data-sets and the ever-lowering costs of computing now make it feasible to monitor the Earth's land cover at Landsat resolutions of 30 m. In this article, we describe the methods to create global products of forest cover and cover change at Landsat resolutions. Nevertheless, there are many challenges in ensuring the creation of high-quality products. And we propose various ways in which the challenges can be overcome.

Empirical harvest models and their use in regional business-as-usual scenarios of timber supply and carbon stock development

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2012

Harvest activity directly impacts timber supply, forest conditions, and carbon stock. Forecasts of the harvest activity have traditionally relied on the assumption that harvest is carried out according to forest management guidelines or to maximize forest value. However, these rules are, in practice, seldom applied systematically, which may result in large discrepancies between predicted and actual harvest in short-term forecasts.
