Abstract Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colonies can be detected from space using very high‐resolution (VHR; 0.3–0.6 m resolution) satellite imagery, as the contrast between their guano and the surrounding te...

Abstract Satellite Image Classification is a process in remote sensing that aims at classifying pixels of satellite imagery into usable information of land use and land cover. This information is not only limited to seve...

With advances in aerospace technology, high-resolution optical imagery from satellites, such as China’s Gaofen series, is vital for climate monitoring and agriculture. However, cloud cover significantly impedes th...

ABSTRACT    Context and background Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration (FFP-LA) framework provides a pragmatic approach to enhancing tenure security, reducing disputes, and facilitating planned urban development in...

Sea-ice motion plays a pivotal role in the variability of the Antarctic climate system by modulating the atmosphere–ocean fluxes and the ocean freshwater budget. Due to the variability of the ice surface, snow&#x2...

Long-term monitoring of coastal aquaculture ponds (APs) is essential for sustainable food production and environmental management. Intensive aquaculture has reshaped coastal landscapes and threatened ecosystem services. ...

Accurate monitoring of non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) in coastal saltmarsh wetlands is crucial for understanding ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics. Existing hyperspectral NPV indices are used to monitor NPV ...

Abstract We present a first global high-resolution map (30 m x 30 m) of high-altitudinal wetlands in the world’s major mountain regions, i.e. the Andes, Rocky Mountains, Alps and High Mountain Asia. To map these we...

This study explores the relationship between urban development and air pollution in Thailand by analyzing remote sensing nightlight data and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations over six years (2019-2024). Using data from...

Abstract Beach erosion represents a major hazard to coastal regions worldwide, yet the role of fluvial floods remains an understudied component of beach dynamics. Accounting for fluvial flooding is essential, as its negl...

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...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of roadside green infrastructure in reducing particulate matter-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PM-bound PAHs) in urban soils and to assess the associated human heal...

The number of studies of Little Ice Age (LIA) glacier fluctuations in southern South America has increased in recent years but is largely biased towards sites in the south Patagonian Andes. In this paper we present a det...

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 ...

Snowpacks in mountain regions with Mediterranean climates are exceptionally sensitive to climate warming. However, these marginal snowpacks are sparsely monitored, limiting our understanding of recent snow losses and con...

The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires necessitates advanced methods for effective surveillance and management, as traditional ground-based techniques often struggle to adapt to rapidly changing fire behavior...

In the Americas, the number of confirmed malaria cases decreased by 65.4% between 2000 and 2023, and malaria elimination is now in sight for many countries. Argentina is currently free of autochthonous malaria transmissi...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

Abstract Background Thailand is undergoing a rapid demographic transition toward an aging society, with substantial challenges in ensuring health equity for older adults. While national-level health policies have expande...

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - First carbon mapping of Palsabangon watershed using InVEST model - Combines remote sensing and field data across four key vegetation types - Reveals mangroves store highest carbon per hectare among la...

Dryland biomes cover two-fifths of Earth´s land surface, but their forest area is poorly known. Here, we report an estimate of global forest extent in dryland biomes, based on analyzing more than 210,000 0.5-hectare sam...

Wildfires are among the most destructive natural disasters and pose significant risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and human lives. This study focuses on wildfire susceptibility mapping in Los Angeles County, a region ...
