Sand dunes are one of the most abundant aeolian landforms and play an important role in
understanding how aeolian environments evolve. Since the 1970s, remote sensing has …

In cotton, an optimal balance between vegetative and reproductive growth will lead to high
yields and water-use efficiency. Remote sensing estimations of vegetation variables such as …

Biocrusts are critical components of desert ecosystems, significantly modifying the surfaces
they occupy. The mixture of biological components and soil particles that form the crust, in …

Public domain synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) imagery, particularly from Sentinel-1, has
widened the scope of day and night vegetation monitoring, even when cloud cover limits …

Dunes are among the most abundant aeolian landforms found on Earth and other planets.
The automatic mapping of dunes over large-scale areas is crucial for predicting, monitoring …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data provides an appealing opportunity for all-weather day
or night Earth surface monitoring. The European constellation Sentinel-1 (S1) consisting of …

Optical Earth Observation is often limited by weather conditions such as cloudiness. Radar
sensors have the potential to overcome these limitations, however, due to the complex radar …

It is generally held that subtle changes in sandy environments are very difficult to detect in
imagery. Nonetheless, this study demonstrates how synthetic aperture radar (SAR) …

This paper presents a robust approach for shoreline detection using the K-Means clustering
and the Digital Shoreline Analysis System developed by the United States Geological …

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are thin microbiological vegetation layers that naturally develop
in unfavorable higher plant conditions (ie, low precipitation rates and high temperatures) in …
