Selected Cooperative Research
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
- Member of Earth Observation (EO1) Verification and Validation Team.
- Integrated Satellite EO1 Hyperion Hyperspectral and Landsat Thematic Mapper Data for Mapping Invasive Species and projecting Landscape Risk.
- Transformed relative hyperspectral data to estimates of green and senescent vegetations, and invasive percent compositions per image pixel.
- Generated a landscape sensitivity and susceptibility map by combining the canopy composition map with a landcover resource map based on national classification protocols.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- Created Landcover and Landuse Maps of Coastal Louisiana in 1990, 1993, 1996, and 1999.
- Produced Change Maps for each Period with Concurrent Accuracy Assessments.
- Developed a new classification model that minimizes user inputs while greatly improving the overall and per pixel map and change detection accuracies.
National Park Service
- Created Landcover Maps following the National Vegetation Classification System protocols.
- Padre Island National Seashore, Texas.
- Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, Texas.
- Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Site, Texas.
- At 15 yr (±3 yr) increments from 2000 to 1934, produced landscape changes for the Site’s recreation of the original battlefield.
- Natchez Trace Parkway, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi (in progress).
- Vicksburg National Military, Mississippi (in progress).
Louisiana Department of Natural Resources
- Developed remote sensing indicators of the onset and progression of marsh dieback.
Louisiana State University – Agriculture Center
- Developing remote sensing indicators of soybean rust onset and progression (proposed).
U.S. Naval National Research Laboratory
-
Field data collection and analysis in support of the flight reconnaissance and coastal mapping.
U.S. Geological Survey
- Mid Continent Mapping Center
- Mapping the onset and progression of oak decline.
- Determining leaf spectral properties that portend oak decline.
- Applying the leaf spectral indicators to NASA EO1 satellite Hyperion images.
- EROS Data Center
- Developing RADAR imaging and interferometric techniques for mapping vegetation type, structure, and biomass, and mapping flood extent and depth.
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
- U.S. Department of the Interior and Chevron Research and Technology Company, Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Type and Status with Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Technologies.
