Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Indoor Vehicles Geolocalization Using LoRaWAN [PDF]

Future Internet, 2019
One of the main drawbacks of Global Navigation Satellite Sytems (GNSS) is that they do not work indoors. When inside, there is often no direct line from the satellite signals to the device and the ultra high frequency (UHF) used is blocked by thick, solid materials such as brick, metal, stone or wood.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Geolocation error compensation method for geocoded SAR images using pixel-offset series without control points

International Journal of Digital Earth
SAR spatial geolocation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is crucial for SAR/interferometric (In)SAR applications. Geolocation errors often arise owing to factors such as platform instability, instrument degradation, and environmental variations. Current

Street-Level Geolocation Based on Router Multilevel Partitioning

IEEE Access, 2019
The high-precision geolocation of Internet hosts plays an important role in many applications, such as online advertising and deception detection. The existing typical high-precision geolocation algorithms usually utilize single-hop or relative delay to ...

Exploration of the use of short‐wave infrared radiances in weather forecasts model Part II: Data assimilation and forecast impact assessment

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The standalone non‐local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) bias correction schemes, utilizing a look‐up‐table and a linear regression method developed in Part I and new quality control procedures for short‐wave infrared radiances (SWIR), were tested within a data assimilation framework.

Tracking Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus orientalis) in the northeastern Pacific with an automated algorithm that estimates latitude by matching sea-surface-temperature data from satellites with temperature data from tags on fish [PDF]

, 2005
Data recovered from 11 popup satellite archival tags and 3 surgically implanted archival tags were used to analyze the movement patterns of juvenile northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus orientalis) in the eastern Pacific. The light sensors on archival

Understanding Citizen Reactions and Ebola-Related Information Propagation on Social Media

, 2016
In severe outbreaks such as Ebola, bird flu and SARS, people share news, and their thoughts and responses regarding the outbreaks on social media. Understanding how people perceive the severe outbreaks, what their responses are, and what factors affect ...

All‐sky assimilation impacts of the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder constellation on global weather forecasts

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Key Findings: An assimilation methodology is established for the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder (TMS) flying on CubeSats in sun‐synchronous and inclined orbits, and in all cloud scenes. The TMS has a significant impact on weather forecast lead times up to 3 days in the Tropics in a research‐quality numerical weather prediction setting, and yields water ...

Wall‐to‐wall Amazon forest height mapping with Planet NICFI, Aerial LiDAR, and a U‐Net regression model

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tree canopy height is a key indicator of forest biomass and structure, yet accurate mapping across the Amazon remains challenging. Here, we generated a canopy height map of the Amazon forest at ~4.8 m resolution using Planet NICFI imagery and a deep learning U‐Net model trained with airborne LiDAR data.
