Monitoring the propagation of dunes is essential for natural hazard management. Accurate dunes mapping is critical in this situation. Landscape elements such as vegetation, water, dunes, and built-up are commonly separated using spectral indices.

Recent glacial recession in the Rwenzori Mountains of East Africa due to rising air temperature [PDF]
Based on field surveys and analyses of optical spaceborne images (LandSat5, LandSat7), we report recent decline in the areal extent of glaciers in the Rwenzori Mountains of East Africa from 2.01 +/- 0.56 km(2) in 1987 to 0.96 +/- 0.34 km(2) in 2003.

Comparison of NDVI, NDRE, MSAVI and NDSI Indices for Early Diagnosis of Crop Problems
Abstract In precision agriculture, it is possible to use satellite monitoring of fields. Satellite monitoring systems allow you to get free images with a resolution of up to 10 m per pixel, which is sufficient to determine the state of vegetation of plants on such indicators as the normalized vegetation index NDVI.

On the need for a time- and location-dependent estimation of the NDSI threshold value for reducing existing uncertainties in snow cover maps at different scales [PDF]
Knowledge of current snow cover extent is essential for characterizing energy and moisture fluxes at the Earth's surface. The snow-covered area (SCA) is often estimated by using optical satellite information in combination with the normalized ...

Winter Wheat Take-All Disease Index Estimation Model Based on Hyperspectral Data
Wheat take-all, caused by two variants of the fungus Gaeumannomyces gramnis (Sacc.) Arx & D. Olivier, was common in spring wheat areas in northwest and north China and occurred in winter wheat areas in north China.

Estimation of Soil Organic Matter on Paddy Field using Remote Sensing Method
Soil organic matter (SOM) is one of the important parameters in agriculture management, thus estimating its distribution on the land will be essential. Remote sensing can be utilized to map the SOM distribution in the large-scale area.

Monitoring of seasonal glacier mass balance over the European Alps using low-resolution optical satellite images [PDF]
We explore a new method to retrieve seasonal glacier mass balances (MBs) from low- resolution optical remote sensing. We derive annual winter and summer snow maps of the Alps during 1998–2014 using SPOT/VEGETATION 1 km resolution imagery.
