Access to Environmental Justice: A Manitoba Toolkit for Improving Public Participation; Final Project Report, February 2021
(Manitoba Eco-network, The University of Winnipeg, and Public Interest Law Centre, 2021-02)
This final report details the implementation of the Manitoba Law Foundation funded project: Access to Environmental Justice: A Manitoba Toolkit for Improving Public Participation. The project materialized as a 6-part public ...
Submicroscopic metallic iron in lunar soils estimated from the in situ spectra of the Chang’E-3 mission
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2017-04-22)
Submicroscopic metallic iron (SMFe) created by space weathering has strong effects on the optical properties of the lunar surface. Spectra measured in situ by the visible-near-infrared spectrometer (VNIS) on board the ...
A Deep Learning Framework: Land-Use/Land-Cover Mapping and Analysis using Multispectral Satellite Imagery
(Springer, 2019-07-17)
In this article, we present an approach to land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping from multispectral satellite images using deep learning methods. The terms satellite image classification and map production, although used ...
Stability of hydrated minerals on Mars
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2007-10-20)
The validity of recent identification of various hydrated minerals (kieserite, gypsum, hexahydrite, nontronite, chamosite, and montmorillonite) on Mars was assessed by exposing these minerals to simulated Martian surface ...
Physical characterization of ~2 m diameter near-Earth asteroid 2015 TC25: A possible boulder from E-type asteroid (44) Nysa
(The Astronomical Journal, 2016-11-11)
Small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) (<20 m) are interesting, because they are progenitors for meteorites in our terrestrial collection. The physical characteristics of these small NEAs are crucial to our understanding of the ...
Automated LULC Map Production using Deep Neural Networks
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-17)
This article presents an approach to automating the creation of land-use/land-cover classification (LULC) maps from satellite images using deep neural networks that were developed to perform semantic segmentation of natural ...
Detection of rotational spectral variation on the M-type asteroid (16) Psyche
(The Astronomical Journal, 2016-12-28)
The asteroid (16) Psyche is of scientific interest because it contains ∼1% of the total mass of the asteroid belt and is thought to be the remnant metallic core of a protoplanet. Radar observations have indicated the ...
Metal-silicate mixtures: Spectral properties and applications to asteroid taxonomy.
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 1990-06-10)
The reflectance spectra of combinations of olivine, orthopyroxene, and iron meteorite metal show systematic variations in spectral properties which can be used to constrain many of the physical and chemical properties of ...
Reflectance spectra of "featureless" materials and the surface mineralogies of M- and E-class asteroids
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 1990-01-10)
The 0.3- to 2.6-μm reflectance spectra of meteoritic enstatite (nearly pure MgSiO3), iron meteorite metal, magnetite and amorphous carbon, and various mixtures of these materials with mafic silicates have been measured in ...
A model for the development of types of atolls and volcanic islands on the Pacific lithospheric plate
(The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., 1983-09)
A literature review on atoll origins and volcanic island development on the Pacific lithospheric plate is combined with bathymetric data on the Hawaiian, Marshall, Caroline, Tuamotu and Society island chains to produce a ...
