Aerial thermal infrared (TIR) surveys have been a crucial tool supporting river restoration project across the North America as many salmonid-bearing rivers are projected to warm in the coming decades due to increases in atmospheric temperatures and concomitant decreases  and earlier melt of snowpack. The objectives of collecting TIR imagery are to assess the current summer thermal state and the distribution of cold-water refuges within the river system, and to identify opportunities and...

Nearly 45 years after its construction, the efficiency of the vertical support heat pipes along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) has shown signs of degradation. These heat pipes are crucial for maintaining ground stability in permafrost regions, where the pipeline is elevated for over half of its 800-mile length. Filled with liquid ammonia, the heat pipes transfer heat from the bottom to the top, preventing excessive thawing around the support structures. Ground-based monitoring of the...
