- Adam Belmonte, doctoral student in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems (SICCS); Temuulen Sankey, associate professor of SICCS; Scott Goetz, professor of SICCS; and Thomas Kolb, professor of forestry, co-authored the article, “UAV-Based Estimate of Snow Cover Dynamics: Optimizing Semi-Arid Forest Structure for Snow Persistence” published in Remote Sensing. The study used unmanned aerial vehicle multispectral imagery and Structure-from-Motion models to quantify rapidly melting snow cover dynamics and examined the effects of forest structure shading on persistent snow cover in a recently thinned ponderosa pine forest.
- Stephanie Seymour, student in civil and environmental engineering, received the 2021 American Society of Engineering Education Pacific Southwest Section Undergraduate Student Award. The award celebrates her accomplishments related to engineering education and she will receive a $250 honorarium.
