Mapping Quaking Aspen Using Seasonal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Composite Imagery across the Southern Rockies, USA

Quaking aspen is an important deciduous tree species across interior western U.S.forests.Existing maps of aspen distribution are based on Landsat imagery and often miss small stands (2), which rapidly regrow when managed or following disturbance.In this study, we present methods for deriving a new regional map of aspen forests using one year of Sen

Nuclear heating measurements by gamma and neutron thermometers

A gamma thermometer suitable for very high gamma heating levels (up to 20 W/g) has been designed and modelled by means of detailed finite element calculations.Based on a sensitivity analysis, the predicted accuracy of this gamma thermometer is better than 5 %.A novel miniaturized gamma thermometer is proposed in which a single thermocouple is used
