Assimilation of solar‐induced fluorescence satellite observations in the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts integrated forecast system

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the potential of the assimilation of satellite solar‐induced fluorescence (SIF) retrievals at eight‐day and 0.1° resolutions in the integrated forecast system (IFS), developed at the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), at global scale, to provide a more realistic representation of the vegetation temporal ...

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Lacking data? No worries! How synthetic images can alleviate image scarcity in wildlife surveys: A case study with muskox (Ovibos moschatus)

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study investigates the integration of synthetic imagery, created with diffusion‐based models, to supplement limited training data and improve muskox (Ovibos moschatus) detection in zero‐shot (ZS) and few‐shot (FS) settings. ZS models detected more than 80% of muskoxen in real images, confirming the potential of synthetic data as a substitute for ...
