Assessing Causes and Consequences of Winter Surface Water Dynamics in California's Central Valley Using Satellite Remote Sensing

Journal of Flood Risk Management
California's Central Valley is increasingly vulnerable to winter floods. A comprehensive spatial baseline of flood extents is critical for inundation analyses that can enhance future flood predictions, but cloud cover has prevented the regular ...

How to determine the leaf area index (LAI) of forests: A comparison of forest inventory versus satellite-driven estimates

Forest Ecosystems
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key measure of forest stand physiology and biomass production, and is essential within ecosystem modeling. There are two common approaches to obtaining LAI: (i) terrestrial forest inventory-based “bottom–up”, and (ii) satellite-

Estimating potential soil erosion for environmental services in a sugarcane growing area using multisource remote sensing data [PDF]

, 2013
Characterization of landscapes is crucial in modelling potential soil erosion to ascertain environmental services that are provided by the main land use in the ecosystem. Remote sensing techniques have proved successful in characterization of landscapes.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS): land remote sensing for global change research

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1998
The first Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument is planned for launch by NASA in 1998. This instrument will provide a new and improved capability for terrestrial satellite remote sensing aimed at meeting the needs of global change research.
