Improving Cross‐Event Generalization for SAR‐Based Coastal Inundation Mapping via Test‐Time Domain Adaptation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Rapid and reliable coastal inundation mapping from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is vital for disaster response. Although recent deep learning advances have enhanced this task's accuracy and automation, two major challenges remain: (a) geographic and imaging variations across flood events limit the generalizability of supervised ...

A REMOTE SENSING (RS) APPROACH USING NORMALIZED DIFFERENCE VEGETATION INDEX AND NORMALIZED DIFFERENCE WATER INDEX (NDVI & NDWI) FOR MAPPING THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE OF LORALAI DISTRICT, BALOCHISTAN.

The remote sensing imagery of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDVI & NDWI), and field explorations has given a richer understanding of the archaeological landscape of the Loralai district in Balochistan, Pakistan. A systematic survey was conducted by the first author in 2020, 2021, and 2022, examining a

From research to conservation: Site selection for habitat restoration of a narrowly distributed and critically endangered butterfly

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study focuses on the conservation of a rare butterfly in northwestern Italy threatened by woody encroachment. Using field data, topography, and remote sensing, we modelled habitat suitability and connectivity. A 0.6‐ha site was selected for restoration, illustrating how predictive models can guide targeted conservation actions.

Satellite Remote Sensing Reveals Climate‐Driven Breeding Failure in Greater Flamingos at a Mediterranean Hypersaline Lake

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypersaline lakes are shrinking worldwide, yet how desiccation drives breeding failure in dependent waterbirds remains poorly quantified over multi‐decadal timescales. Tuz Gölü (Lake Tuz, Türkiye) supports the largest Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) breeding colony in the Eastern Mediterranean, contributing up to 67% of regional chick

Assessment of Ecological and Economic Benefits of Seasonal Riparian Area Management in Eastern South Dakota

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 5, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Continuous grazing in riparian zones has degraded water quality and vegetation health in Skunk Creek, southeastern South Dakota. In response, the Seasonal Riparian Area Management (SRAM) programme was introduced in 2013 as a voluntary conservation initiative to defer grazing during the growing season within the 100‐year floodplain and promote ...

Applying machine learning to biodiversity management: Lessons from two California biodiversity hotspots

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Mapping invasive species and native vegetation is crucial for effective land management and conservation, especially in pervasively invaded landscapes. It is often difficult to differentiate between species using traditional remote sensing methods.

Precision Estimation of Crop Coefficient for Maize Cultivation Using High-Resolution Satellite Imagery to Enhance Evapotranspiration Assessment in Agriculture

Plants
The estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) is crucial for irrigation water management, especially in arid regions. This can be particularly relevant in the Po Valley (Italy), where arable lands suffer from drought damages on an annual basis, causing

Temporal variation in glacier surface area and glacial lakes in glaciated river basins of Arunachal Pradesh

Journal of Water and Climate Change
Climate change-induced glacier recession has sparked a dynamic transformation of glaciers in high-mountain areas worldwide, resulting in genesis, expansion, and dissipation of glacial lakes that pose a potential threat to downstream communities ...
