Evaluation of pre/post-fire differenced spectral indices for assessing burn severity in a Mediterranean environment with landsat thematic mapper [PDF]
, 2011 In this study several pre/post-fire differenced spectral indices for assessing burn severity in a Mediterranean environment are evaluated. GeoCBI (Geo Composite Burn Index) field data of burn severity were correlated with remotely sensed measures, based ...

The Water-Enhanced Turbofan as Enabler for Climate-Neutral Aviation
Applied Sciences, 2022 A significant part of the current aviation climate impact is caused by non-carbon-dioxide emissions, mainly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and contrails. It is, therefore, important to have a holistic view on climate metrics.
