AI Summary

Researchers have developed a new method to study the impact of large dams on river temperatures across the US. This approach utilizes satellite imagery, specifically Landsat thermal infrared data, to gather information on a broader scale than traditional on-the-ground measurements. The use of satellite imagery allows researchers to collect data from a wider range of rivers, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of dams on river temperatures. This method enables the analysis of a larger dataset, which can lead to more accurate conclusions about the impact of dams on river ecosystems.
