Land change is a cause and consequence of global environmental change,. Changes in
land use and land cover considerably alter the Earth's energy balance and biogeochemical …

This study defines albedo and reflectance in the context of solar applications. It examines
the main sources of surface albedo data that can be used to help solar irradiance modeling …

Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the Earth. As the cause and result of
global environmental change, land cover change (LCC) influences the global energy …

Soil microorganisms are central to sustain soil functions and services, like carbon and
nutrient cycling. Currently, we only have a limited understanding of the spatial-temporal …

Abstract The dynamics of Leaf Area Index (LAI) from space is key to identify crop types and
their phenology over large areas, and to characterize spatial variations within growers' …

The Atmospheric Correction Inter-comparison eXercise (ACIX) is an international initiative
with the aim to analyse the Surface Reflectance (SR) products of various state-of-the-art …

The aim of this study was to use small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for determining
high-resolution normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values. Subsequently, these …

Substantial uncertainty exists in daily and sub-daily gross primary production (GPP)
estimation, which dampens accurate monitoring of the global carbon cycle. Here we find that …

Large-area remote sensing time-series offer unique features for the extensive investigation
of our environment. Since various error sources in the acquisition chain of datasets exist …

Accurate and timely crop yield forecasts are critical for making informed agricultural policies
and investments, as well as increasing market efficiency and stability. Earth observation data …
