LANDSAT-5 orbit adjust maneuver report [PDF]
The orbit adjust maneuvers performed to raise the LANDSAT 5 spacecraft to mission altitude, synchronize it with the required groundtrack, and properly phase the spacecraft with LANDSAT-4 to provide an 8 day full Earth coverage cycle are described ...

Woody cover and geology as regional‐scale determinants of semi‐arid savanna stability
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Savannas are vital for global biodiversity and carbon storage, yet their responses to climate change and human activity remain uncertain. Using remote sensing time series and Bayesian Linear Models, we show that drought resistance and resilience vary regionally, shaped by complex interactions between geology, woody cover, fire regimes, past climate ...

Probabilistic graphical model based approach for water mapping using GaoFen-2 (GF-2) high resolution imagery and Landsat 8 time series [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential of Gaofen-2 (GF-2) high resolution multispectral sensor (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) imagery on water mapping. Difficulties of water mapping on high resolution data includes: 1) misclassification between water and shadows or other low-reflectance ground objects, which is mostly caused by the ...

Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C‐band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grassland and woody vegetation structure in the Greater Serengeti‐Mara Ecosystem.

Night lights from space: potential of SDGSAT‐1 for ecological applications
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Our study emphasizes the importance of advancing ALAN monitoring from space for ecology and conservation, and it highlights the novel opportunities of SDGSAT‐1. We discuss shortcomings that need to be resolved and identify promising avenues for sound ecological impact assessments of ALAN on ecosystems using space‐borne remote sensing.
