Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

Drylands make up roughly 40% of the Earth's land surface, and billions of people depend on
services provided by these critically important ecosystems. Despite their relatively sparse …

Aridity, which is increasing worldwide because of climate change, affects the structure and
functioning of dryland ecosystems. Whether aridification leads to gradual (versus abrupt) …

Atmospheric correction over inland and coastal waters is one of the major remaining
challenges in aquatic remote sensing, often hindering the quantitative retrieval of …

The surface reflectance, ie, satellite derived top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectance corrected
for the temporally, spatially and spectrally varying scattering and absorbing effects of …

The performance of different atmospheric correction algorithms for the Ocean and Land
Colour Instrument (OLCI) on board of Sentinel-3 (S3) is evaluated for retrieval of water …

A new algorithm for Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) of land cover
using all available Landsat data is developed. It is capable of detecting many kinds of land …

Assessment and monitoring of rice agriculture over large areas has been limited by cloud
cover, optical sensor spatial and temporal resolutions, and lack of systematic or open access …

Agricultural land use change substantially affects climate, water, ecosystems, biodiversity,
and human welfare. In recent decades, due to increasing population and food demand and …

Abstract MODIS BRDF/NBAR/Albedo products (MCD43) have been widely used for a variety
of land surface studies since 2000 (eg, for climate and biosphere modeling, radiative forcing …
