The pystac_client is a Python library that allows you to interact with STAC APIs. It is useful for querying the Landsat STAC API, which provides programmatic access to Landsat satellite imagery collections. In this notebook, we will show users how to use pystac_client to search for products within the Landsat STAC API.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to apply scale factors to Landsat Level-2 Surface Reflectance and Temperature datasets for Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is known for being one of the hottest cities in the United States, with surface temperatures reaching up to 80 degrees Celsius. In this tutorial, we will scale the NIR, RED, and LWIR (temperature band) bands of a single Landsat scene...

This software release contains code to create the fractional intersectional weights used to crosswalk data from the National Water Use Program to the National Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) projects. The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) contains polygons that define the spatial boundaries of hydrologic units. These are periodically updated as these boundary definitions...

R Code to Run Composition Sampling for Cook et al. 2023 The aim of this software is to perform composition sampling on simulated disease observation data. Composition sampling is a valuable approach for statistical inference in data limited systems. This software implements composition sampling on simulated chronic wasting disease surveillance data in white-tailed deer in Michigan, U.S...

This software release contains the input data, R scripts, and Rmarkdown visualization scripts. This includes (i) aggregation code of expert elicited parameter estimates, (ii) simulation code using our develop dynamic multi-state occupancy model for no management, proactive management, and reactive management, (iii) code for probabilistic decision trees, and (iv) Rmarkdown scripts...

RUSH is a tool for rapid repeat high resolution coastal vegetation maps to improve forecasting of hurricane impacts and coastal resilience. Natural coastal vegetated ecosystems, including tidal marshes, vegetated dunes, and shrub- and forest-dominated wetlands, provide nature-based solutions to climate-related impacts of hurricanes. Extensive research has shown that vegetation cover in...

Understanding changes in the timing and magnitude of streamflows available to maintain riverine biodiversity and ecological function, while also meeting the increasing societal demands on water resources, is a global priority. A rigorous quantification of seasonal changes in streamflow is needed to inform water management and policy under global change. We introduce a hierarchical...

The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (version 6) is a stand-alone desktop application that complements a Geographic Information System (GIS). The DSAS software requires users to input a reference baseline and compilation of shoreline positions to generate measurement transects and shoreline intersections used to calculate rate-of-change statistics. DSAS provides an automated method for...

The aim of this software is to share results from Prosser et al. (2024) by allowing users to explore different spatial layers over each week of the year via an interactive mapping interface. This web application serves as a decision support tool for decision makers related to transmission risk during the ongoing highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak. This software provides a user...

ModelMuse version 5.3 adds the ability to import existing MODFLOW 6 models with some limitations. Other changes include 1. the ability to use formulas to activate or deactivate specified head, specified concentration, and mass source boundaries, 2. the ability to use formulas in the scale factors of dynamic boundaries, 3. support for the AUXMULTNAME option in MODFLOW 6, and 4. the...

This software release contains the code necessary to run the chronic wasting disease (CWD) and elk population models used to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision on whether to continue to continue supplemental feeding of elk on the National Elk Refuge (NER). The models allow for five different management alternatives: continued feeding, reduced feeding, increased hunting...

The Alignment Helper is a GUI tool designed to be embedded in the Agisoft Metashape application. The Alignment Helper was written in support of a diver-based structure-from-motion data processing workflow and was built to facilitate proper alignment of Metashape models with the local grid coordinate system.
