Mapping evapotranspiration variability over a complex oasis-desert ecosystem based on automated calibration of Landsat 7 ETM+ data in SEBAL [PDF]
Fragmented ecosystems of the desiccated Aral Sea seek answers to the profound local hydrologically- and water-related problems. Particularly, in the Small Aral Sea Basin (SASB), these problems are associated with low precipitation, increased temperature,

Estimation of vegetation traits with kernel NDVI
Vegetation indices computed from spectral signatures are vastly used for monitoring the terrestrial biosphere. Indices are convenient proxies for canopy structure, and leaf pigment content, and consequently to estimate the photosynthetic activity of vegetation.

Spatial evaluation of methane emissions in the communities of Warints and Yawi, Ecuador [PDF]
Methane is a greenhouse gas that has caused environmental repercussions on the planet. At the national level, spatial data are unavailable, so this study aimed to estimate the amount of methane (CH4) emissions in the communities of Warints and Yawi ...

NDVI relationship to monthly evaporation [PDF]
Normalized difference vegetation indices (NDVI), calculated from Landsat‐MSS images, were correlated with monthly total precipitation and estimates of monthly evaporation in a prairie environment. The highest value of the correlation coefficient (r=.80) was obtained between the monthly mean NDVI and estimated evaporation of the preceding month.
