We show that the synergistic use of Sentinel-1 and -2 gives superior classification results, allowing for the identification of residential infrastructure vs. other infrastructure types, and offers improvements spatially, temporally, and thematically over existing LULC datasets.

We compared our product with existing land use and land cov3r (LULC) datasets: National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD), Microsoft Building Footprints, and the Dynamic World dataset.

Using Google Earth Engine, we applied our Random Forest algorithm to create annual maps of built infrastructure from 2015 to 2024, delivered at 10 m resolution, for across the Snake River Plain, in southern Idaho.

Simple practices like cleaning your shoes and gear and sticking to marked recreational trails can minimize the spread of invasive non-native plants.

Driven by a want to study wildfire, I moved to the western US to pursue a PhD. At @boisestate.bsky.social, my research focuses on the complex interactions between humans and wildfire. I use remote sensing to map fire-prone properties and explore causes of human-started fires on public lands.

After hiking, I started my Masters at @ox.ac.uk, returning to the trail to research #LeaveNoTrace principles and hiker practices to reduce spreading invasive non-native plant species along recreational trails:

Those seeds clinging to your hiking socks may be from invasive plants – here’s how to avoid spreading them to new locations
Invasive species cause billions of dollars in damage across the US every year. Hikers and backpackers can take simple steps to avoid spreading seeds and making the problem worse.

After graduating, unsure of my next steps, I chose to go on an adventure and spent six months thruhiking on the Appalachian Trail. On this trail, I experienced two life changing events: meeting the man who would become my husband and my first #wildfire.

A decage ago, I started my academic journey at @rhulgeography.bsky.social. At the same time I was completing my Gold DofE (@dofeuk.bsky.social), which took me to the Amazon Rainforest, Peru. There I volunteered with the Crees Foundation (www.crees-foundation.org) monitoring macaws and parrots.
