thermal imaging
Use of infrared technology to measure surface temperatures of objects
last interglacial period
The most recent period in Earth's history (~116-130 ka) when temperatures were persistently warmer than today, specifically the Eemian period at 125 ka
sliding-window analysis
Statistical approach that tests all possible combinations of climate drivers and temporal windows to identify optimal predictive time scales
GMWL
Global Meteoric Water Line
Long Short-Term Memory
Type of recurrent neural network capable of learning temporal dependencies in sequential data through gated memory cells
exponential distribution of root mass
lichenometry
A dating technique that uses the measured diameters of lichen thalli to estimate the age of rock surfaces
phage-host interactions
Ecological relationships between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts involving infection, replication, and lysis or lysogeny
watershed resilience
The degree to which a watershed can rebound after perturbations to predicted increases in climate variability
atmospheric correction
Processing procedure to remove atmospheric effects from hyperspectral radiance data to estimate surface reflectance
dissolved As
external inputs
green chromatic coordinate
Measure of vegetation greenness calculated as G/(R+G+B) used as proxy for evapotranspiration
