Characterizing Sparse Spectral Diversity Within a Homogenous Background: Hydrocarbon Production Infrastructure in Arctic Tundra near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska by Daniel Sousa, Latha Baskaran, Kimberley Miner, Elizabeth Josephine Bushnell

“…The approach focuses on pixels which are not well modeled by linear subpixel mixing of the Substrate, Vegetation and Dark (S, V, and D) endmember spectra which dominate spectral variance for most of Earth’s land surface. We illustrate the approach using AVIRIS-3 imagery of anthropogenic surfaces (primarily hydrocarbon extraction infrastructure) embedded in a background of Arctic tundra near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. …”

Statistics and Analysis of the Relations between Rainstorm Floods and Earthquakes by Baodeng Hou, Yongxiang Wu, Jianhua Wang, Kai Wu, Weihua Xiao

“…If the occurrence sequence of disasters could be identified, long-term disaster forecast could be realized. Based on the Earth Degassing Effect (EDE) which is valid, this paper took the magnitude, epicenter, and occurrence time of the earthquake, as well as the epicenter and occurrence time of the rainstorm floods as basic factors to establish an integrated model to study the correlation between rainstorm floods and earthquakes. 2461 severe earthquakes occurred in China or within 3000 km from China and the 169 heavy rainstorm floods occurred in China over the past 200+ years as the input data of the model. …”
