Landsat 9 TIRS-2 Architecture and Design [PDF]

, 2018
TIRS-2 will fly on the LandSat 9. Like TIRS on Landsat 8, TIRS-2 will produce radiometrically calibrated, geo-located thermal image data. USGS is responsible for operational code.

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Validity of the Landsat surface reflectance archive for aquatic science: Implications for cloud‐based analysis

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023
Originally developed for terrestrial science and applications, the US Geological Survey Landsat surface reflectance (SR) archive spanning ~ 40 yr of observations has been increasingly utilized in large‐scale water‐quality studies. These products, however,

Land Restoration as a Catalyst for Regional Economic Revitalization: Evidence From Urban–Rural Transition Zones

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale land restoration is widely expected to improve environmental quality, yet causal evidence on its local economic returns remains limited. This gap is especially important in urban–rural transition zones, where development pressure and ecological damage overlap.

Land Degradation, Cultural Ecosystem Services, and Ecosystem Disservices in the Sumapaz Páramo, Colombia: An Integrated Socioecological Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationships among land degradation, ecosystem functioning and human well‐being is essential for conserving tropical high‐mountain ecosystems. This study examined the relationships among land degradation, Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES), ecosystem disservices (EDS) and visitor perceptions at Laguna Colorados in the Sumapaz

Landsat 9 Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 Preliminary Stray Light Assessment [PDF]

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
Although the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2) is a near-identical copy of the Landsat 8/TIRS-1 instrument, an important design change to the optical system was designed to mitigate the stray light issue that plagued the TIRS-1 instrument [1] 2, 3]. This change involved the addition of several baffles strategically placed within the optical telescope ...

Optimizing Soil Organic Matter Estimation Through Multi‐Factor Zoning and Tree‐Based Automated Learning

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of land degradation and soil functioning. It plays an essential role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and long‐term agroecosystem resilience. The variations of surface cover, soil moisture and soil texture heterogeneity will affect the accuracy of SOM remote sensing mapping. This study developed

Balancing Productivity, Ecology, and Social Well‐Being: Insights From Three Decades of Farmland Transformation in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing food security, social equity, and ecological sustainability remains a persistent challenge in global agricultural systems. While economic and ecological aspects of land‐use transitions have been extensively studied, the long‐term dynamics of social functions and their interactions with other functions are less understood.

Crop identification and area estimation through the combined use of satellite and field data for county Durham, northern England [PDF]

, 1990
This thesis investigates the use of combined field and satellite data for crop identification and area estimation in County Durham, Northeast England. The satellite data were obtained by the Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor onboard Landsat-5 on 31 May 1985 ...
