We develop a hierarchical method to map geomorphic units across valley bottoms. The method accommodates user decisions regarding effort invested versus quality and accuracy. The method produces 12 preliminary, 20 refined, and four sub‐types of geomorphic units. The method can be applied to all river types.

This paper presents a workflow capitalizing Google Earth’s High-resolution Imagery (GEHRI) to detect and monitor Artificial Waterway (AW) in a tropical peat forest. The workflow applies an Object-Based approach derived from concepts and techniques for indexing visual semantics in a ten-levels of visual structures.

Abstract The spatial organization of vegetation has been shown to be a strong indicator of ecological state in multiple ecosystems. In this study, we analyze the relationships between spatial complexity metrics in submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) landscapes, and we explore the potential of satellite remote sensing to quantify these metrics in ...

Combined optically stimulated luminescence and radiocarbon dating of aeolian dunes in Arctic Sweden
Abstract Multiple parabolic sand dune fields formed in Arctic Sweden after the last deglaciation, facilitated by an abundance of loose glaciofluvial sediment, limited vegetation cover and strong winds. Following initial stabilisation, these dunes underwent repeated reworking after fire events, as evidenced by the presence of buried soils, charcoal ...

Artificial Intelligence and Objective‐Function Methods Can Identify Bankfull River Channel Extents
Abstract Bankfull channel extents are of fundamental importance in fluvial geomorphology, to describe the geomorphic character of a river, and to provide a boundary for further processing of morphologic and hydraulic attributes. With ever‐increasing availability of high‐resolution spatial data (e.g., lidar, aerial photography), manual delineation of ...

Detecting Invasive Alien Plant Species Using Remote Sensing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Invasive alien plants (IAPs) are nonnative species that pose significant threats to the environment by outcompeting native vegetation and disrupting ecosystem functions. Efforts to monitor and eradicate IAPs have been limited due to the challenges in accurately identifying these plants using traditional remote sensing (RS) methods.

The Atewa Range Forest Reserve (ARFR) in Ghana, a key biodiversity hotspot, is increasingly impacted by alluvial gold mining, which has been expanding in the region. However, limited research has focused on mining activities within the forest reserve or their proximity to river bodies. This study used high-resolution PlanetScope satellite imagery (2018-
