Monitoring algal blooms in shallow eutrophic lakes remains challenging due to subtle biomass signals and interference from bottom reflectance and high suspended sediment loads. Utah Lake, a large eutrophic and highly tur...

Forest fires have exhibited an escalating trend in both frequency and intensity globally, with major and catastrophic events causing significant damage to forest resources, human lives, and property. Timely and accurate ...

Flood disasters, with high suddenness, wide impact and severe consequences, severely threaten ecological security, human lives, property and socioeconomic development. Optical remote sensing, though advantageous in spati...

Regional economic growth drives significant land-use changes, impacting urban development, resource allocation, and ecological networks. Challenges such as climate change, ecological degradation, and land-use-ecology con...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

Urbanization and climate change are rapidly transforming metropolitan environments, posing serious challenges to sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk management, Among these challenges, concern,...

Soil moisture is an important part of the land water cycle. It affects ecosystem health, agricultural output, and climate regulation. Several factors influence its variability, especially land use and land cover (LULC). ...

This study presents an integrated geophysical approach for shallow subsurface characterization using seismic refraction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) at the Florida Atlantic University Boca Preserve. A 240 m transec...

The shift from conventional irrigation methods to sprinkler systems is intended to improve accuracy and efficiency; however, it requires thorough validation of the uniformity of water distribution. This research focuses ...

Environmental justice communities across the United States continue to experience disproportionate exposure to industrial pollution, particularly in regions dominated by petrochemical infrastructure. The Alsen / St. Irma...

Land use and land cover (LULC) changes have an important effect on the dynamics of climate change, affecting the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are directly related to the fun...

Arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) like Marsabit and Isiolo Counties in Kenya face significant water scarcity, necessitating accurate mapping of surface water resources. Even with mostly dry and arid conditions in these re...

Soil erosion is a major problem, which has had adverse effects on the productivity of agriculture, the quality of water, and the sustainability of land in the long term, especially in semi-arid states of southern India. ...

Gold mining plays a central role in Ghana’s national economy. However, conventional exploration approaches, particularly within artisanal and small‑scale mining sectors, often rely on trial‑and‑error methods ...

Airborne LiDAR enables direct measurement of canopy height and three-dimensional forest structure, but many LiDAR-based studies remain difficult to reproduce due to ad hoc processing decisions and limited pipeline transp...

The primary objective of this study was to compare the density-based (OPTICS-Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure) and graph-based (Spectral Clustering) algorithms for identifying Normalized Difference Ve...

As cities experience the digital transformation of the information era, informed decision-making becomes a first-hand necessity. Urban Digital Twins (UDTs), as the natural evolution of the smart city, are digital replica...

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable transformation from a heavily industrialized rail depot and one of the nation’s most polluted cities to the first designated National Park City in the United States of America...

The Gulf Coast region of Louisiana hosts one of the highest concentrations of petrochemical industries in the United States, contributing substantially to national economic output while simultaneously posing severe envir...

Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation (GNSS-RO) offers a unique means of retrieving vertical atmospheric profiles with high precision and global coverage. This study investigates the spatiotemporal charact...

UAV (Unmanned Airborne Vehicle) high resolution digital image acquisition systems based on small format cameras provide a versatile alternative to the solution of environmental monitoring and remote sensing problems. Thr...
