Grand Canyon Colorado River Airborne Imagery Tenth Mile Cover graph
Example graph of land cover calculations derived from remote sensing airborne image analysis for 0.1-mile segments of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam to Diamond Creek. The percentage of the river valley covered by water (at 8,000 CFS river discharge), sand, vegetation, and other landcover are plotted for each 0.1-mile segment of the river.

Restoration at Tsegi Canyon
Restoration project at Tsegi Canyon in support of cultural and ecological resources. It was a community project that brought together agency professionals, elders and native youth. This was a partnership with Navajo Nation and USGS Restoration Assessment and Monitoring Program for the Southwest.

Greenhouse study comparing plant provenance for restoration
RestoreNet is partnering with the Gornish lab at the University of Arizona to better understand how a plant’s source location (provenance) influences its performance in a restoration setting. This greenhouse experiment will be conducted by PhD student, Sierra Lauman.
