About half of the world's tropical peatlands occur in Southeast (SE) Asia, where they serve
as a major carbon (C) sink. Nearly 80% of natural peatlands in this region have been …

Peatlands offer a series of ecosystem services including carbon storage, biomass
production, and climate regulation. Climate change and rapid land use change are …

In fire emission models, the spatial resolution of both the modelling framework and the
satellite data used to quantify burned area can have considerable impact on emission …

Abstract Purpose of Review Understanding of how fire affects the carbon cycle and climate
is crucial for climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. As those are often based …

Fires raged once again across Indonesia in the latter half of 2015, creating a state of
emergency due to poisonous smoke and haze across Southeast Asia as well as incurring …

Indonesia has about 20-21 Mha of peatland (Wahyunto et al. 2003, 2004 & 2006; Page &
Rieley 2016) including 13 Mha in Sumatra and Kalimantan (Table 1). Most of these …

In the 21st century, remote sensing (RS) has become increasingly employed in many
environmental studies. This paper constitutes an overview of works utilising RS methods in …

Over the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have demonstrated increasing
attention and promise. They demonstrate great potential for application in both civilian and …

Wildfires are a dominant disturbance to boreal forests, and in North America, they typically
cause widespread tree mortality. Forest fire burn severity is often measured at a plot scale …

For countries' emission-reduction efforts under the Paris Agreement to be effective, baseline
emission/removals levels and reporting must be as transparent and accurate as possible …
