Extracting Cadastral Boundaries from UAV Images Using Fully Convolutional Networks
The cadastre is the foundation of land management. However, it is estimated that 70% of the land rights in the world remain unregistered. Traditional approaches are costly and labor intensive, therefore, recently the use of remotely sensed images has been investigated.

Climate shocks, democratization and (a culture of) cooperation
Abstract While the direct economic effects of adverse climate shocks are well known, their indirect institutional impact is still poorly understood. To clarify this, we test the idea that adverse climate shocks push time‐inconsistent elites to enact inclusive political institutions, and non‐elites to embrace strong norms of cooperation.

Cities are getting hotter because of climate change and urban development, increasing risks to health and well‐being. We analyzed how increasing urban tree canopy cover in city areas of 900 m2 can reduce land surface temperatures, using detailed aerial‐LiDAR and satellite data with Bayesian hierarchical models.
