Snow Cover and Snow Persistence Changes in the Mocho-Choshuenco Volcano (Southern Chile) Derived From 35 Years of Landsat Satellite Images

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Mountain regions have experienced above-average warming in the 20th century and this trend is likely to continue. These accelerated temperature changes in alpine areas are causing reduced snowfall and changes in the timing of snowfall and melt. Snow is a

Analyzing short term spatial and temporal dynamics of water presence at a basin-scale in Mexico using SAR data

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2020
The dynamic nature of continental water body covers is a main indicator of the status of this ecological capital and its trends on the land surface. With synthetic aperture radar (SAR), various water coverage processes can be identified using satellite ...
