Evaluating vegetation cover is an important factor in understanding the sustainability of many ecosystems. Remote sensing methods with sufficient accuracy could dramatically alter how biotic resources are monitored on both public and private lands. I

In this study, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a quick and safe method for monitoring biotic resources was evaluated. Vegetation cover and the amount of bare ground are important factors in understanding the sustainability of many ecosy

Creeping environmental changes are impacting some of the largest remaining intact parcels of shrub-steppe ecosystems in the western United States and are creating major problems for land managers. The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is part of the la
COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION MAKING IN OREGON WATERSHED GROUPS: PERCEPTIONS OF EFFECTIVENESS

Journal of the American Water Resources Association. 41:171-180
Collaborative watershed groups have formed at a significant rate throughout the United States in the last decade. Data on these groups, however, has been largely anecdotal and lacking in rigorous examination of the relationship between group formatio

Interest in mordenite as an inhalation hazard arose when it was discovered that the mineral exists in the subsurface of Yucca Mountain, NV, the site of a federally proposed nuclear waste repository. During preliminary geologic investigations at Yucca

An important application of decision analysis is determining the value that information has to a decision maker. The expected value of information (EVOI) is the expected increase in the value (or decrease in the loss) associated with obtaining more i

Environmental decision making involving trace-levels of contaminants can be complicated by censoring, the practice of reporting concentrations either as less than the limit of detection (LOD) or as not detected (ND) when a test result is less than th

A methodology that simulates outcomes from future data collection programs, utilizes Bayesian Monte Carlo analysis to predict the resulting reduction in uncertainty in an environmental fate-and-transport model, and estimates the expected value of thi

A methodology for incorporating uncertainty in model predictions into a risk-based decision for environmental remediation is illustrated, considering polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) sediment contamination and uptake by winter flounder in New Bedford H
