This book was released on 2021 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The numerous playa lakes found across the Southern High Plains, USA are valued for both their ecological importance and as potential sources of aquifer recharge. The surface water area of these small ephemeral lakes varies significantly due to the highly variable rainfall patterns observed. While a few aircraft and satellite studies have previously studied the larger playa lakes in the region, no known study has utilized the high-resolution capabilities of the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2A/B twin satellites to study thousands of smaller playa lakes. In this study, we analyze variations in playa lake area across Western Texas, USA using data from the Sentinel-2A/B satellites. Playa lake surfaces are identified using the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin for QGIS. This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing Sentinel-2A/B satellite data to both operationally monitor the state of playa lakes across the region for ecological and hydrological applications, as well as potentially identify which playa lakes contribute the most to groundwater recharge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dry lakebeds (playas) in the Mojave Desert are often hard and flat enough to serve as natural landing areas for aircraft. However, the surface physical properties of moisture, strength, and microrelief can vary with seasonal or local conditions. It is desirable to develop methods for deterining and monitoring these properties and their variations. Airborne remote sensing enables collection of data on the reflectance, temperature, and emissivity of these surfaces that can be correlated with soil parameters. Four playas in the Mojave Desert that have a variety of surface properties were investigated. Airborne spectrophotography and thermal infrared imagery were obtained by overflights. Ground photometry and measurements of surface properties were obtained. Moisture-sensitive dyes were applied to one lakebed surface to evaluate the feasibility of monitoring its dryness through color changes apparent on the aerial photography. The report describes the results of the remote-sensing investigations and the correlation of photographic and imagery interpretation with actual surface conditions.
