Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.

Dragonfly functional connectivity responses are dynamic relative to drought

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
During drought, dragonfly species richness decreases. Yet, dragonfly assemblages show a higher propensity for dispersal during drought. Dispersal pathways vary among the wet and dry periods, and relative to temporal changes in the landscape. While some dragonfly species can traverse plantation compartments, conservation corridors facilitate functional ...

Development of a Multi-Index Method Based on Landsat Reflectance Data to Map Open Water in a Complex Environment

Remote Sensing, 2022
Mapping surface water extent is important for managing water supply for agriculture and the environment. Remote sensing technologies, such as Landsat, provide an affordable means of capturing surface water extent with reasonable spatial and temporal ...

Partial landslide occlusion of a valley river and the hydro‐climatological drivers of landslide‐lake ephemerality

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Timeline of Te Horo lake presence and absence interspersed with unknown landscape periods between 2014 and 2025, noting the lifespan of initial formation 2014–2019, the 2020–2021 lake formation and the increasing volume of observations from 2017 onwards. Chronology reconstructed from satellite imagery.

Trade‐Offs of Conservation Fencing in Western Serengeti: Enhancing Agricultural Security While Navigating Unintended Consequences on Land‐Use Dynamics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Fencing enhanced security in cropland livestock grazing land. Fence did not have a significant change in crop zonation patterns. While local communities are largely happy with the fence, fencing triggered land‐use conflicts and the resettlement of a few livestock keepers with large herds of livestock to nearby unfenced sites.

Water body extraction and change detection using time series: A case study of Lake Burdur, Turkey

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2017
In this study, spatiotemporal changes in Lake Burdur from 1987 to 2011 were evaluated using multi-temporal Landsat TM and ETM+ images. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification and spectral water indexing, including the Normalized Difference Water ...

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1155-1171, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...
