COMBUST: Gridded combustible mass estimates of the built environment in the conterminous United States (1975-2020)

Johannes H. Uhl, Maxwell C. Cook, Cibele Amaral +4

The increasing occurrence of natural hazards such as wildfires and drought, along with urban expansion and land consumption, causes increasing levels of fire risk to populations an…

CHRONEX-US: City-level historical road network expansion dataset for the conterminous United States

Johannes H. Uhl, Keith A. Burghardt, Stefan Leyk

Geospatial datasets on the long-term evolution of road networks are scarce, hampering our quantitative understanding of how the contemporary road network has evolved over the cours…

Towards localized accuracy assessment of remote-sensing derived built-up land layers across the rural-urban continuum

Johannes H. Uhl, Stefan Leyk

The accuracy assessment of remote-sensing derived built-up land data represents a specific case of binary map comparison, where class imbalance varies considerably across rural-urb…

Thematic agreement assessment of gridded, multi-modal geospatial datasets of different semantics and spatial granularities

Johannes H. Uhl, Stefan Leyk

This paper presents a method for thematic agreement assessment of geospatial data products of different semantics and spatial granularities, which may be affected by spatial offset…

Spatially explicit accuracy assessment of deep learning-based, fine-resolution built-up land data in the United States

Johannes H. Uhl, Stefan Leyk

Geospatial datasets derived from remote sensing data by means of machine learning methods are often based on probabilistic outputs of abstract nature, which are difficult to transl…

Analyzing urban scaling laws in the United States over 115 years

Keith Burghardt, Johannes H. Uhl, Kristina Lerman +1

The scaling relations between city attributes and population are emergent and ubiquitous aspects of urban growth. Quantifying these relations and understanding their theoretical fo…
