Performance Triggered Adaptive Model Reduction for Soil Moisture Estimation in Precision Irrigation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate soil moisture information is essential for precise irrigation to enhance water use efficiency. Estimating soil moisture based on limited soil moisture sensors is especially critical for obtaining comprehensive soil moisture information when dealing with large‐scale agricultural fields.

NLP for Climate Policy: Creating a Knowledge Platform for Holistic and Effective Climate Action [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Climate change is a burning issue of our time, with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 of the United Nations demanding global climate action. Realizing the urgency, in 2015 in Paris, world leaders signed an agreement committing to taking voluntary action to reduce carbon emissions. However, the scale, magnitude, and climate action processes vary

Tipping elements and climate-economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment

open access: yes, 2016
The literature on the costs of climate change often draws a link between climatic 'tipping points' and large economic shocks, frequently called 'catastrophes'. The use of the phrase 'tipping points' in this context can be misleading.

Climate Change Sceptics [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Review, 2013
By predicting a global change of the Earth's climate, scientists are delivering an uncomfortable message. The release of the fourth IPCC report in 2007 has led to a surge of scepticism and criticism of both the science and the scientists. All this has received a lot of press coverage. Here I discuss the roots of climate change scepticism and how it has

Evaluation of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loudon) on a provenance plot situated in a formerly air-polluted area of the Krušné hory Mts. at the age of 34 years

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2018
The article evaluates 27 provenances of three subspecies of lodgepole pine on the Kovářská research plot (Krušné hory Mts.). The plot is part of a series of three established plots in various stand conditions.

ClimateSet: A Large-Scale Climate Model Dataset for Machine Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Climate models have been key for assessing the impact of climate change and simulating future climate scenarios. The machine learning (ML) community has taken an increased interest in supporting climate scientists' efforts on various tasks such as climate model emulation, downscaling, and prediction tasks.

Regional analysis of crop and natural vegetation in West Africa based on NDVI metrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In West Africa, rainfall variability dynamics are often considered as the major driver of vegetation production. Land use shifts have also to be taken into account when analyzing changes in vegetation production.

Anomalous jumping in a double-well potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Noise induced jumping between meta-stable states in a potential depends on the structure of the noise. For an $\alpha$-stable noise, jumping triggered by single extreme events contributes to the transition probability.
