Although the United States has pursued rapid development of corn ethanol as a matter of national biofuel policy, relatively little is known about this policy’s widespread impacts on agricultural land conversion surrounding ethanol refineries. This

Climate change and increasing population growth are accelerating the need for new clean renewable energy generation. One such proposed type of renewable energy is offshore floating wind, which has yet to reach a convergence as to the optimum type of
US agricultural policy, land use change, and biofuels: are we driving our way to the next dust bowl?

Global population growth and climate change are driving a need for increased clean renewable energy generation. One such resource is wind energy and while the onshore and fixed offshore wind energy industries are mature, the floating offshore wind en

The Eurasian wheat belt (EWB) spans a region across Eastern Ukraine, Southern Russia, and Northern Kazakhstan; accounting for nearly 15% of global wheat production. We assessed land surface conditions across the EWB during the early growing season (A

Links between climatic forcing and wetland habitats can be conceptualized using a graph-theoretical approach, which treats wetlands as nodes to map habitat connectivity and to define habitat networks for ecological analysis. The first and most crucia

As the offshore wind industry moves into deeper waters, the number of different floating wind platform concepts continues to expand. Accurately predicting the motion characteristics of these novel platforms is crucial to the safe and economic convers

We used remote sensing imagery to characterize the hydrological dynamics of 8404 temporary freshwater wetlands (playas) in Texas (Landsat 5 TM WRS-2 P30/R36) from 2008 to 2011, comparing known wet and dry periods, and related these to land use within

Habitat connectivity is a landscape attribute critical to the long-term viability of many wildlife species, including migratory birds. Climate change has the potential to affect habitat connectivity within and across the three main wetland complexes
