The world's deserts are sufficiently large that, in theory, covering a fraction of their landmass
with PV systems could generate many times the current primary global energy supply. The …

Remote sensing indices of burn area and fire severity have been developed and tested for
forest ecosystems, but not sparsely vegetated, desert shrub-steppe in which large wildfires …

Wildfire has been one of the most dangerous environmental stressors nowadays. It is an

An alternative approach is proposed for periodical land cover mapping. Aerial photography
is used for land cover mapping in reference years and satellite images are used to update …

We present a methodology to detect terrain mobilization in the years following a fire using
multitemporal Landsat TM imagery. Furthermore, we show the spectral evolution of the land …

The Bormida river basin is a strongly polluted rural area in North West Italy. The
contamination has been caused by a chemical plant operating locally from 1892 to 1997 …

The aim of this work is to describe the main phases for the elaboration of a specific algorithm
able to define burned areas applying remote sensing technique. This algorithm is been …

Legislation was introduced in Portugal to enable the Portuguese Forest Services (DGF) to
