Impact of Solar Farm Expansion on Forest Cover in Massachusetts
To decarbonize the electric grid, the U.S. state of Massachusetts has been investing in solar farms. This research aims to understand how the development of solar farms in Massachusetts has influenced deforestation between 2000 and 2021. Worcester County, in central Massachusetts, was used as a case study because it encompasses both urban areas and forests and has a land cover typical of the state. The research used Global Forest Watch Landsat im…
Macro or Micro? A Visual Art Exhibition Challenging Our Perceptions of Scale
Macro or Micro? is an exhibition of imagery created through an electron microscope and from satellites. The images are displayed together in a gallery setting where the viewers are asked to determine which are macro images and which are micro images. The micro images capture details that are millimeters or less in size, whereas the macro images capture details that are kilometers or larger in size—a difference in scale of a million times or more.…
International Perspectives on Global Environmental Change
Environmental change is increasingly considered a critical topic for researchers across multiple disciplines, as well as policy makers throughout the world. Mounting evidence shows that environments in every part of the globe are undergoing tremendous human-induced change. Population growth, urbanization and the expansion of the global economy are putting increasing pressure on ecosystems around the planet. To understand the causes and consequenc…
Satellite Detected Broad-Scale Vegetation Change in China, 1982–1999
This paper analyzes vegetation change throughout China between 1982 and 1999 using global scale AVHRR satellite data. It analyzes changes in NDVI and links these changes to associated land covers. Two time series (1982 to 1993 and 1995 to 1999) were analyzed using Principal Components Analysis, Simple Differencing, and Temporal Profiling. In both periods more areas increased in NDVI than decreased, with some grasslands and croplands continually i…
A Study of the Structure and Composition of an Old Growth and Secondary Broad-Leaved Forest in the Ailao Mountains of Yunnan, China
A cooperative U.S.A.-China ecological study took place at the Xujiaba Nature Sanctuary on the northern crest of the Ailao Shan (mountains) in central-west Yunnan. By making forest access difficult and keeping human immigration low, the mountainous topography of Yunnan has assisted in protecting forest cover. This project studied the vegetational and bird structure and composition of an old growth and a secondary evergreen broad-leaved forest. The…
