Remote sensing annual dynamics of rapid permafrost thaw disturbances with LandTrendr
Abstract Permafrost is warming globally which leads to widespread permafrost thaw. Particularly ice-rich permafrost is vulnerable to rapid thaw and erosion, impacting whole landscapes and ecosystems. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) are abrupt permafrost disturbances that expand by several meters each year and lead to an increased soil organic carbon ...

Interpreting Annual Time Series with LandTrendr
AbstractTime-series analysis of change can be achieved by fitting the entire spectral trajectory using simple statistical models. These allow us to both simplify the time series and to extract useful information about the changes occurring. In this chapter, you will get an introduction to the use of LandTrendr, one of these time-series approaches used ...

Urban Renewal Mapping: A Case Study in Beijing from 2000 to 2020
Understanding the distribution and land history of old urban areas (OUAs) and renewed urban areas (RUAs) has become the key point of urban management. However, it is hard to acquire adequate information for lack of pertinent detection methods.

The Database of European Forest Insect and Disease Disturbances: DEFID2
Insect and disease disturbances appear on the rise in European forests and further climate change may make them more widespread and intense still. Despite the need to better monitor and understand insect and disease disturbances, geospatial data on them are scattered.

A LandTrendr Algorithm-Based Study of Forest Disturbance from 2000 to 2020 in Jilin Province, China
Forest resources are of great importance for achieving human sustainable development and carbon neutrality goals. Therefore, this study evaluated forest disturbance in Jilin Province, China, from 2000 to 2020 using the LandTrendr algorithm. The results of the study showed that the overall area of forest disturbance was 448.76 km2 in Jilin Province ...

Mapping mangrove dynamics using LandTrendr on Google Earth Engine
The coast of Suriname is very dynamic due to slowly migrating mudbanks in front of the coast originating from the Amazon. Coastal erosion or accreation takes place depending on the location of the mudbanks. The dynamics of the mangrove forest between 2000 and 2018 was studied using the Historic Satellite Archive available in Google Earth Engine.
