Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 128, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The Atacama Desert is one of the driest and oldest deserts on Earth, with extremely low precipitation rates (<2 mm/yr). Mostly abiotic hyperarid environmental conditions prevail, and surface processes act at extremely low rates over the long‐term.

RADARGRAMMETRIC DIGITAL SURFACE MODELS GENERATION FROM TERRASAR-X IMAGERY: CASE STUDIES, PROBLEMS AND POTENTIALITIES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012 The interest for the radargrammetric approach to Digital Surface Models (DSMs) generation has been growing in last years thanks to the availability of very high resolution imagery acquired by new SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors, as COSMO-SkyMed,

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 1062-1079, February 2023., 2023 About 20% of the Pantropical tropical dry forest biomass is affected by fires of which small fires explain most of it. The spatial distribution of small fires is related to socioeconomic and biophysical drivers, while climatic conditions drive large and intense fires.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 127, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Crustal deformation and seismicity in Europe are still poorly understood. Seismic activity is classically ascribed to crustal strain rates generated by edge‐driven tectonic forces. However, crustal deformation is not only due to tectonic loading, but can also be related to isostatic and mantellic processes that induce additional stress and ...

Tectonics, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract At mature magma‐rich continental rifts, extension focuses along discrete axial segments where magmatism and diking are important in accommodating plate divergence. However, the role of magma in influencing the deformation at rift–rift offsets is still unclear as direct observations are rare.

Multiple anthropogenic pressures challenge the effectiveness of protected areas in western Tanzania
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 We investigated temporal changes in land‐use and population densities of six large mammal target species across areas with different conservation category. During six survey periods between 1991 and 2018, we analysed data from remote sensing and aerial wildlife surveys to derive spatio‐temporal patterns of cropland cover in relation to protection ...

Coastal wetland responses to a century of climate change in northern Sahara, Morocco
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 285-299, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal wetlands are highly sensitive to changes occurring at the coastline. It is critically important to determine region‐specific projections for these areas due to their specificities and vulnerabilities to climate change. This work aimed to value the impacts of recent climate changes at West Africa Sahara coastland, southern Morocco, at ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 57-71, February 2022., 2022 Working at sites across the globe, we used a standardized protocol to collect and analyse drone data in order to measure the size of many different plants in non‐forest ecosystems. These measurements of canopy height allowed the prediction of aboveground biomass and carbon storage of different plants accurately across the landscape.

Identification of Geothermal Reservoirs in South Cameroon from a Combined Landsat 8 and AMT Data
International Journal of Geophysics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 This geothermal source prospecting work is carried out in order to respond to the energy deficit affecting the populations of South Cameroon in particular. The study combines audio‐magnetotelluric (AMT) and Landsat 8 data for the geolocation of reservoirs, as well as the geological and tectonic information.
