Spatiotemporal Analysis of Mixed-Use Planning & Patterns in Milwaukee, St. Louis & Tampa
(2022)Land use integration has emerged as an important sustainability principle in the last three decades, with many American cities recently reforming their land use policies to promote mixed-use developments. This study examines ... -
The influence of thermodynamic versus dynamic processes on sea ice thickness in observations and models
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
Development of a clear-sky atmospheric retrieval algorithm using far infrared spectral measurements for PREFIRE
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
Learning from Code and Non-Code Artifacts
(2022-08-17)Three things are fundamentally true about software: (i) every day that passes we, as a society, generate more software (more code, more documentation, and more software-related artifacts of all kinds), (ii) it is easier ... -
An experimental baseline for ice-till strain indicators
(Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2022)Subglacial till can deform when overriding ice exerts shear traction at the ice-till interface. This deformation leaves a strain signature in the till, aligning grains in the direction of ice flow and producing a range of ... -
Mapping Guatemala-US Migration: A Case Study in Critical Visual Storytelling
(2022)In this research, I document a visual storytelling design study intended to address the persistent gap between critical geographic scholarship and conventional cartographic representation--specifically, the failure of ... -
Physics-Informed Weakly Supervised Learning for Near Real-Time Flood Mapping
(2022)Advances in deep learning and computer vision are making significant contributions to disaster management when used in combination with remotely sensed data. Although existing supervised methods proved to be effective, ... -
Storytelling in Online Atlases
(2022)From the Introduction: 1.1 Background: An atlas is a geographic communication device comprising a selection of maps related by theme, or region, and organized into a coherent volume (Buckley 2003). While print atlases ... -
Role of Urban Plan Quality and Land Surface Characteristics in Urban Heat Island Outcomes
(2022)As climate change continues to intensify temperature extremes across the world, understanding the impacts of extreme heat events and planning strategies for heat adaptation and mitigation are critical to human wellbeing. ... -
Exploring the Political Ecology of a Proposed CAFO within the Driftless area of Southwest Wisconsin
(2022)Plans for what could become the largest hog confinement facility in Wisconsin have created divides over the future of a rural community within the Driftless region of Crawford County. This concentrated animal feeding ... -
Constraints on transient glacier slip with ice-bed separation
(UW Madison, 2022-11-01)Glacier slip facilitates fast glacier flow and modulates sea-level rise, but empirical constraints on slip-controlling processes at relevant scales are limited. Modern slip rules often assume debris-free basal ice and ... -
The Spatial Variation of Geographic Polarization in the United States
(2022)Introduction: In 1977, sociologists Knoke and Henry predicted that "future trends suggest a diminishing political difference between rural and urban populations" (51). Given recent events, their prognostication could not ... -
Data for "A power-based abrasion law for use in landscape evolution models"
(2022-10)Subglacial abrasion drives erosion for many glaciers, inundating forefields and proglacial marine environments with glaciogenic sediments. Theoretical treatments of this process suggest that bedrock abrasion rates scale ... -
A Threat to Healing and a Barrier to Recovery: An Assessment of Health Impacts of Criminalization Through the Stages of Domestic Sex Trafficking
(2022-07)Criminalization of domestic sex trafficking victims in the US is a pervasive issue. Indeed, a survey of US trafficking survivors, where respondents were largely survivors of sex trafficking, found that 90.8% had been ... -
Observations of biogenic volatile organic compounds over a mixed temperate forest during the summer to autumn transition
(2022-09-26)The exchange of trace gases between the biosphere and the atmosphere is an important process that controls both chemical and physical properties of the atmosphere with implications for air quality and climate change. The ... -
Impacts of summer cyclones on Arctic sea ice

Measurements of Volatile Organic Compounds in an Occupied Classroom
(2022-07-27)This dataset contains measurements of indoor air quality made in an occupied classroom at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The measurements are described in detail in the attached readme file. Measurements include: ... -
A neural network-based cloud mask for PREFIRE and evaluation with simulated observations

Transport properties of fast ice within the nearshore
(2022-07-01)Fast ice affects many coastlines in high- and mid-latitude regions, shaping the coastal morphology by acting as both a protective barrier from winter storms and as an erosive agent through sediment entrainment and transport. ...
