Dr. D. T. "Terry" Booth - Rangeland Scientist, Retired 2012 I began my career with the Soil Conservation Service in Nevada and later served at USDA-SCS Plant Materials Centers in Tucson, AZ, and Aberdeen, ID, in programs to enhance the revegetation of lands disturbed by road building and mining. Subsequently, I continued that work with the USDA-ARS in Cheyenne but with a greater focus on seed science and technology to enhance the use of native species in mined-land revegetation. These investigations were carried out with the help of Larry W. Griffith and ranged from studies of seed physiology and seedbed ecology to concerns with seed harvest, handling, and seed storage. In 2000 I changed programs to continue remote sensing work I began in Paul T. Tueller's laboratory at the University of Nevada Reno. James H. Everitt and Pilot Rene Davis, USDA-ARS, Weslaco, TX, graciously hosted me on a memorable visit to their laboratory that was helpful in solidifying my key research ideas. USDI-Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming State Office funded a Technical Assistant position most ably filled by Samuel E. Cox. Together we developed the world's highest resolution, multi-camera, aerial-imaging system for monitoring rangelands. The system collected up to 3 simultaneous images at each sample location from <1 to ~20 mm per pixel ground sample distance (GSD). The high detail captured by these images made it impractical to use standard image-analyses software. We addressed this by working with Bob Berryman to develop SamplePoint and other tools for high-resolution image analysis (http://www.samplepoint.org). Our imaging system revealed the degraded condition of most rangeland riparian areas we surveyed. This is degradation that is facilitating downstream flooding such as occurred in the Missouri River Basin in 2011 (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/assessments/pdfs/Missouri_floods11.pdf). Further, there are numerous publications documenting the loss of mountain glaciers and snowpack to a warming earth. High-elevation storage of solid water is the source of western water. A warming earth means land management-especially public-land management-must do much more to protect and improve riparian systems (liquid-water storage) to compensate for losses in frozen-water storage. My most recent publications address this issue. The US West and other regions of the world are facing critical shortages of surface and ground water. Better informed decision making and effective land-management to recover and enhance the water-storage capacities of our rangeland riparian systems-including the aquifer recharge functions-is essential to sustaining western water supplies. |
