    Modelling erosion on a daily basis, an adaptation of the MMF approach

    Abstract Effect of soil erosion causing negative impact on ecosystem services and food security is well known. On the other hand there can be yearly variation of total...

    On the possible role of strike-slip related tectonics in the Ronda-Málaga are...

    The Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) image of the area between Ronda and Malaga in southern Spain reveals a number of northeast-southwest trending lineaments dissecting older and...

    Exploring the use of vegetation indices to sense canopy nitrogen to phosphoro...

    Abstract Reduced availability of plant nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) has detrimental effects on plant growth. Plant N:P ratio, calculated as the quotient...

    Foliar and woody materials discriminated using terrestrial LiDAR in a mixed n...

    Abstract Separation of foliar and woody materials using remotely sensed data is crucial for the accurate estimation of leaf area index (LAI) and woody biomass across forest...

    Simulation of MERIS data: Potentials and limitations for mapping (soil) miner...

    Within the framework of ESA's Earth Observation Program, the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) is being developed as one of the payload components of the ENVISAT-1....

    Detecting leaf-water content in Mediterranean trees using high-resolution spe...

    Water content of the vegetation canopy or individual leaves is an important variable in physiological plant processes. In Mediterranean regions where water availability is an...

    Mapping soil moisture across the Tibetan Plateau plains using Aquarius active...

    Abstract An algorithm is developed for retrieving soil moisture at plateau scale by combined usage of Aquarius active and passive L-band observations. In this algorithm,...

    Late Cretaceous and Tertiary subsidence history of the Sirte Basin (Libya)

    The results of a quantitative analysis of subsidence data from 20 wells covering six major basement blocks of the Sirte Basin (Libya) are presented. Tectonic subsidence curves...

    Quantitative subsidence analysis and thermal-mechanical modelling

    The stratigraphic record of sedimentary basins provides key information on vertical motions of the lithosphere and consequently on the tectonic subsidence underlying the...

    GlobeLand30 shows little cropland area loss but greater fragmentation in China

    Understanding of cropland dynamics in a large geographical extent is mostly based on observations of area change, while the changes in landscape pattern are hardly assessed. The...

    Can we map swelling clays with remote sensing?

    Abstract Swelling soils are soils containing clay minerals that change volume with water content. The original volume of natural soils may change up to 150 percent with...

    Estimating leaf functional traits by inversion of PROSPECT: Assessing leaf dr...

    Assessments of ecosystem functioning rely heavily on quantification of vegetation properties. The search is on for methods that produce reliable and accurate baseline...

    Wavelength feature mapping as a proxy to mineral chemistry for investigating ...

    The final product of a geologic remote sensing data analysis using multi spectral and hyperspectral images is a mineral (abundance) map. Multispectral data, such as ASTER,...

    Interannual variabilty of NDVI and bird species diversity in Kenya

    Abstract Species richness, or simply the number of species in a given area, is commonly used as an important indicator of biological diversity. Spatial variability in species...
