The first polarimetric GNSS-Reflectometer instrument in space improves the SMAP mission’s sensitivity over densely vegetated areas

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission has dramatically benefited our knowledge of the Earth’s surface processes. The SMAP mission was initially designed to provide complementary L-band measurements from a radiometer and a radar, producing ...

Voxel‐SLAM: A Complete, Accurate, and Versatile Light Detection and Ranging‐Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping System

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
: In this work, Voxel‐SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) is introduced: a complete, accurate, and versatile LiDAR (light detection and ranging) ‐inertial SLAM system consisting of five modules: initialization, odometry, local mapping (LM), loop closure (LC), and global mapping (GM), all employing the same map representation, an adaptive voxel

Uncovering Archaeological Treasures at Saruq al‐Hadid, UAE: Insights From Ground Penetrating Radar and Magnetic Data

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saruq al‐Hadid, located at the edge of the Rub Al‐Khali desert near Dubai's southern border with Abu Dhabi, is among the region's richest archaeological sites. Renowned for its historical role in metallurgy, trade and human habitation, the site was occupied from the Umm an‐Nar period through the post–Iron Age. Despite its significance, much of

A Multisensor Remote Sensing Approach to Archaeological Prospection: Integrating UAV and Google Earth Data in the Bayan Gol Valley, Mongolia

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of drone‐based remote sensing and Google Earth satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in the Bayan Gol Valley, Central Mongolia. Utilizing a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB and multispectral sensors, we surveyed 655 ha to document Mongol‐period settlement structures

Impact of rain, swell, and surface currents on the electromagnetic bias in GNSS-Reflectometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The assessment of the electromagnetic (EM) bias is required to predict the performance of upcoming global navigation satellite systems-reflectometry (GNSS-R) altimetry systems, and its impact in data assimilation climate studies. In previous studies, the

Survey and Sequence Strategies for Full‐3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography in Archaeological Sites: A Case Study on a Domus of the Roman Town of Augusta Bagiennorum (NW Italy)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Preliminary geophysical investigations are a cost‐effective and efficient way to screen archaeological sites and locate buried structures. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most widely used methods for archaeological prospection, but in some sites, it cannot be employed effectively due to the presence of clay or other electrically ...
