Modeling acute respiratory illness during the 2007 San Diego wildland fires using a coupled emissions-transport system and generalized additive modeling
(Springer Nature, 2013-11-05)A study of the impacts on respiratory health of the 2007 wildland fires in and around San Diego County, California is presented. This study helps to address the impact of fire emissions on human health by modeling the ... -
Integrating forest inventory and analysis data into a LIDAR-based carbon monitoring system
(Springer Nature, 2014-05-08)Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data may be a valuable component of a LIDAR-based carbon monitoring system, but integration of the two observation systems is not without challenges. To explore integration methods, two ... -
Local discrepancies in continental scale biomass maps: a case study over forested and non-forested landscapes in Maryland, USA
(Springer Nature, 2015-08-16)Continental-scale aboveground biomass maps are increasingly available, but their estimates vary widely, particularly at high resolution. A comprehensive understanding of map discrepancies is required to improve their ... -
Implications of allometric model selection for county-level biomass mapping
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-18)Carbon accounting in forests remains a large area of uncertainty in the global carbon cycle. Forest aboveground biomass is therefore an attribute of great interest for the forest management community, but the accuracy of ... -
Including Campus Forest Carbon Estimates Into Climate Mitigation Planning
(2021-05-10)Summary of project led by student researchers in the UMD Department of Geographical Sciences to integrate high-resolution forest carbon estimates into the University of Maryland's Climate Action Plan and GHG Inventory. ...
