An index for discrimination of mangroves from non-mangroves using LANDSAT 8 OLI imagery
Over the last few decades several vegetation indices were used to map Mangrove forest using satellite images. Difficulty still persists in discrimination of mangroves from non-mangrove vegetation, especially in areas where mangrove species are mixed with

Dataset of Coastline Positions for Sandy Beaches of England and Wales Derived Using Remote Sensing
Two decades (1999–2020) of annual coastline position dataset were generated using COASTSAT toolkit for sandy beaches of England and Wales. The dataset consists of annual coastline position coordinates in the format of GeoJSON and Tabular files. ABSTRACT This article presents a dataset of coastline positions, comprising annual sandy coastline detections

Exploring climatic variability and drought characteristics in Morocco’s Sais Plateau and Middle Atlas: A statistical and spectral analysis [PDF]
Extreme climate change phenomena are a global reality with major repercussions on hydrosystems. Drought is particularly concerning in the southern Mediterranean region, threatening water availability and related behavior. Morocco, located in North Africa

This study shows how drones, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and satellites can be combined to map vegetation in rangelands more effectively. Drone imagery captures fine‐scale plant details, LiDAR adds information about vegetation structure and height, and satellite data allow the mapping approach to be expanded across larger areas.

ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon sinks, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics under environmental change remain insufficiently quantified. Taking the Yellow River Delta (YRD) as a natural laboratory, this study synthesizes multi‐source remote sensing data, including optical and radar imagery spanning from 1984 to 2023, to explore the ...
