AN-A46: LANDSAT scene-to-scene registration assessment [PDF]
LANDSAT-4 MSS data and TM data for the 16 September 1982 scene were received. MSS data were reformatted and scene to scene registration, with previous MSS data is nearing completion. LANDSAT-2 to LANDSAT-2 MSS registration was completed.

Effectiveness of protected areas in the Caucasus Mountains in preventing rangeland degradation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract As land use intensifies globally, it increasingly exerts pressure on protected areas. Despite open, nonforested landscapes comprising up to 40% of protected areas globally, assessments have predominately focused on forests, overlooking the major pressures on rangelands from livestock overgrazing and land conversion.

Application of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for Synthetic Training Data Creation to improve performance of ANN Classifier for extracting Built-Up pixels from Landsat Satellite Imagery [PDF]
arXivTraining a neural network for pixel based classification task using low resolution Landsat images is difficult as the size of the training data is usually small due to less number of available pixels that represent a single class without any mixing with other classes.

Policy issues and data communications for NASA earth observation missions until 1985 [PDF]
The series of LANDSAT sensors with the highest potential data rates of the missions were examined. An examination of LANDSAT imagery uses shows that relatively few require transmission of the full resolution data on a repetitive quasi real time basis ...

Effect of reserve protection level and governance on tree cover loss and gain
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Terrestrial protected areas are essential for biodiversity conservation, yet it is not fully understood when and how different types of protected areas are most effective in achieving specific conservation objectives. We assessed the impact of reserves on tree cover loss and gain through a case study in Tasmania, Australia.

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.

Assessing Investment in Future Landsat Instruments: The Example of Forest Carbon Offsets [PDF]
We extend the theory of quality-adjusted expenditure indices to estimate benefits from public investment. In particular, we model the selection of new instruments (in the form of remote-sensing devices) to enhance the longest-operating U.S.

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.Earth observation satellites are collecting vast amounts of free and openly accessible data with immense potential to support environmental, economic, and social fields. As the availability of remotely sensed data increases, so do the methods for accessing and processing it.
