Urban runoff simulation and prediction: How do land use and land cover change patterning and geospatial data quality impact model outcome?
(2020)
With the increase in global urbanization, satellite imagery and other types of geospatial data have been extensively used in urban landscape change research, which includes environmental modeling in order to assess the ...
Urban Riparian Areas: Ecological And Streamside-Ordinance Assessments
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)
Streamside protection ordinances have been established in many urbanizing areas;
however, there has been a paucity of assessments of the effectiveness of such ordinances. A
quantitative assessment of the ecological ...
Wetland landscape dynamics and its socio-ecological implications
(2021)
The dynamics on the earth landscape impact both the biotic and abiotic components. One of the abiotic components of the landscape are wetlands, whose terrestrial part is also serving as a habitat for many biotic components. ...
Comparative analysis of urban wetland classification from multispectral, hyperspectral, and fused satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-18)
Protection and inventory of current wetlands is important for critical habitats,
education, recreation, flood control, and storm water filtration. Over the years, the
United States has lost over one-half of its wetlands ...
Simulating Urban Landscape Transformation: Implications for Urban Wetlands at Multiple Scales
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
Urban landscape change simulation has received increasing attention in recent times.
As a result, many studies have focused on various aspects of land change simulation, ranging
from uncertainty of input data to model ...
Characterizing Impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Change on Urban Runoff Potential Using the HEC-GeoHMS Model
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2016)
Land use and land cover (LULC) change is the direct process of replacing natural vegetation and surfaces with impervious areas. The Blue River is a major urban river within the Kansas City metropolitan area that flows ...
Multi-scale analysis of urban wetland changes using satellite remote sensing techniques
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-10)
This study investigates urban wetland-cover changes in the Kansas City metropolitan area with analyses at various spatial and temporal scales. Not many studies fully addressed multi-scale urban wetland-cover dynamics in ...
