This grant is for determining non-native plant evapotranspiration and groundwater depth along California’s Mojave River riparian corridor. It involves the acquisition and processing of high-resolution short-wave thermal infrared aerial digital photography and LiDAR data. These sophisticated datasets will produce multispectral and thermal infrared mosaics, LiDAR point cloud data, and a Digital Elevation Model. Further outputs include comprehensive energy balance estimates and detailed evapotranspiration maps for the floodplain. The resulting imagery and LiDAR products will be utilized by the Bureau of Reclamation’s Regional GIS Center to accurately classify vegetation and estimate groundwater depths, providing crucial environmental insights for the region’s management and conservation efforts.

| Description: | The goals of this agreement are to determine non-native plant evapotranspiration, and depth to groundwater along the Mojave River, California. These goals will be accomplished through the acquisition and processing of high resolution short wave (green, red, and near-infrared) thermal infrared aerial digital photography, and LiDAR data collection for the Mojave River, California. These data will be used to make multispectral mosaics, LiDAR point cloud data, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), a thermal infrared mosaic of the floodplain corridor, energy balance estimates and evapotranspiration (ET) maps for the floodplain corridor, and a final report describing the data and methodology, main features of the imagery and LiDAR data, accuracy assessment of LiDAR data and seasonal estimates of ET. The classification of vegetation using the multispectral imagery and the depth to the ground water estimates will be realized by the Bureau of ReclamationÂ’s Regional GIS Center using the image and LiDAR products developed by USU. |
