Examples of automated workflows for processing UAV-derived multispectral data in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta by Lim, J

“…This work contains example automated scripts for carrying out a statistical analysis workflow on data obtained from UAV multispectral sensor surveys in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta. Software required: 1) ArcGIS Pro 2.8 (and above) 2) R Studio 4.04 Files Included: 1) ExtractData.py: Script for use in ArcGIS Pro, to produce a CSV file of image raster values. 2) ExtractData.html: HTML file of script above. 3) RCode-Remote-Sensing.r: Script for use in R Studio to produce PCA graphs based on a CSV file. …”

Carbon emissions and radiative forcings from tundra wildfires in the Yukon–Kuskokwim River Delta, Alaska by M. Moubarak, S. Sistla, S. Potter, S. M. Natali, B. M. Rogers

“…Here we develop a novel method for estimating carbon loss and the resulting radiative forcings of gaseous and aerosol emissions from the 2015 tundra wildfires in the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta (YKD), Alaska. We paired burn depth measurements using two vegetative reference points that survived the fire event – <i>Sphagnum fuscum</i> and <i>Dicranum</i> spp. – with measurements of local organic matter and soil carbon properties to estimate total ecosystem organic matter and carbon loss. …”

Tundra fire increases the likelihood of methane hotspot formation in the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, USA by Elizabeth Yoseph, Elizabeth Hoy, Clayton D Elder, Sarah M Ludwig, David R Thompson, Charles E Miller

“…We utilized high-resolution (∼25 m ^2 pixels) and broad coverage (1780 km ^2 ) airborne imaging spectroscopy and maps of historical wildfire-burned areas to determine whether CH _4 hotspots were more likely in areas burned within the last 50 years in the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, USA. Our observations provide a unique observational constraint on CH _4 dynamics, allowing us to map CH _4 hotspots in relation to individual burn events, burn scar perimeters, and proximity to water. …”

Little brown bat activity patterns and conservation implications in agricultural landscapes in boreal Yukon, Canada by Brian G. Slough, Donald G. Reid, Dafna S. Schultz, Maria C.‐Y. Leung

“…To inform land planning and agricultural practices aimed at maintaining a viable population of the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), we assessed the use by bats of human‐modified (open fields, forest‐field edges, and cleared edges of ponds) and unmodified (forest ponds and forest interior) habitat features in agricultural landscapes in southern Yukon, Canada (60° N–61° N), using acoustic recordings. …”

YUKON MOOSE: II. RANGE SIZES, MOVEMENT RATES, AND USE OF ELEVATION AND LAND COVER BY MALES AND FEMALES by Alice M. McCulley, Katherine L. Parker, Michael P. Gillingham

“…We studied range use by moose (males and females with and without calves) to enable more effective land-use planning in south-central Yukon. We detected seasonal differences in range sizes, movement rates, and use of elevation and land cover by global positioning system (GPS)-collared individuals, reflecting the responses of individuals to changing resource availability that is characteristic of boreal landscapes. …”
