Municipal solid-waste collection and disposal management using geospatial techniques in Maseru City, Lesotho
The use of geospatial techniques plays a crucial role in solid waste management. Collection and transportation of solid waste must be done in an efficient manner to avoid negative environmental impacts. At the time of study, there are no collection and routing system in Maseru City, leading to …

Macroinvertebrate Community Structure as an Indicator of Watershed Health in the Upper Trinity River Basin, North Central Texas
… urban areas in the Upper Trinity River Basin. Geospatial techniques were used to quantify landuse within the watershed in a GIS. At rural sites near the headwaters of the Trinity River, collector-gathering burrowers that are adapted to minimal flow comprised the majority of taxa. Destinies of …

Using Qualitative Geographic Information Systems to Explore Gendered Dimensions for Conservation Agriculture Production Systems in the Philippines: A Mixed Methods Approach
… I also demonstrate the importance of combining geospatial techniques and participatory methods for gender research in a development context. Much of the qualitative GIS literature focuses on incorporating qualitative data into a GIS, yet I argue it is important to incorporate geospatial tools …

Examination of Abiotic Drivers and Their Influence on Spartina alterniflora Biomass over a Twenty-eight Year Period Using Landsat 5 TM Satellite Imagery of the Central Georgia Coast
… in our graphical conceptual model. We used geospatial techniques to scale up in situ measurements of aboveground S. alterniflora biomass to landscape level estimates using 294 Landsat 5 TM scenes acquired between 1984 and 2011. For each scene we extracted data from the same 63 sampling …

Environmental and behavioral factors associated with the infestation of vineyards by larvae of grape root borer
… exuviae was characterized using non-spatial and geospatial techniques. Although the non-spatial method (Taylor's Power Law) indicated that exuviae showed an aggregated distribution in all blocks, spatial methods (variograms, SADIE) revealed aggregated distributions only in blocks with ≥ 0.5 pupal …

Analysis of Sinkhole Susceptibility and Karst Distribution in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, Virginia: Implications for Low Impact Development (LID) Site Suitability Models
… stability of the bedrock. In 2004 the Center for Geospatial Information Technology (CGIT) at Virginia Tech developed an LID site suitability model for the NSV region incorporating karst as a key component in distinguishing unsuitable from suitable conditions for LID. But, due to the difficulty of …
