Accuracy assessment of land surface temperature retrievals from Landsat 7 ETM + in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica using iButton temperature loggers and weather station data
(Springer, 2013)The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are the largest snow/ice-free regions on this vast continent, comprising 1 % of the land mass. Due to harsh environmental conditions, the valleys are bereft of any vegetation. Land ... -
Biotic interactions are an unexpected yet critical control on the complexity of an abiotically driven polar ecosystem.
(2019)Abiotic and biotic factors control ecosystem biodiversity, but their relative contributions remain unclear. The ultraoligotrophic ecosystem of the Antarctic Dry Valleys, a simple yet highly heterogeneous ecosystem, is a ... -
Calculating the surface melt rate of Antarctic glaciers using satellite-derived temperatures and stream flows
(Springer Nature, 2020)Melt rate models are fundamental for understanding the impacts of climate change on glaciers and the subsequent effects on habitats and sea level rise. Ice melt models have mostly been derived from energy balance or air ... -
Fishing activity in the Waikato and Waipa rivers
(Environmental Research Institute, The University of Waikato, 2013)The purpose of this research project is to collate information regarding the recent use of fisheries resources in the Waikato River and Waipa River catchment areas. In particular, the project sought to summarise the ... -
Hindcasting water clarity from Landsat satellite images of unmonitored shallow lakes in the Waikato region, New Zealand
(Springer, 2013)Cost-effective monitoring is necessary for all investigations of lake ecosystem responses to perturbations and long-term change. Satellite imagery offers the opportunity to extend low-cost monitoring and to examine spatial ...
