Semi‐Automated Detection of Right Whales (Eubalaena spp.) in Very High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery

Marine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Space‐based detection of whales is proliferating because it shows promise as a monitoring tool, yet tests of its application across taxa and environments are rare. The objective of this study was to develop an end‐to‐end, semi‐automated procedure for detecting two right whale species (Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis) in satellite imagery.

Turko-Mongols of Central and Inner Asia: The Pleiades as Part of Folk Knowledge

Oriental Studies
Introduction. The The Pleiades star cluster was the most important asterism in the life of Inner and Central Asian nomads — of all the astral objects visible in the night sky — as a guide in time and space during the hours of darkness.

Deriving High Spatial-Resolution Coastal Topography From Sub-meter Satellite Stereo Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2019
High spatial resolution coastal Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are crucial to assess coastal vulnerability and hazards such as beach erosion, sedimentation, or inundation due to storm surges and sea level rise. This paper explores the possibility to use

What Was Homer Honing in the Odyssey?

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract We summarize the data provided in Homer's the Odyssey concerning Odysseus' journey and suggest a completely new view of what was Homer trying to convey to us. We suggest that Homer was honing the idea of synergy between rules (determinism) and chance (randomness), an idea deeply rooted in natural processes as well in mathematics.

Plot‐level satellite imagery can substitute for UAVs in assessing maize phenotypes across multistate field trials

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 1011-1026, July 2025.
Maize plays a key role in agricultural profitability and food security on six continents. Successful efforts to breed higher‐yielding maize varieties depend on replicated yield trials in many environments. Capturing in‐season data can help improve and accelerate the development of regionally adapted hybrids, but collecting these data can be impractical

Socio‐Ecological Impacts of the Investment of Urban Nature in Heat Mitigation for Two Megacities

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Cities are increasingly adapting green interventions meant to enhance climate resilience, given their capacity to provide numerous ecosystem services (ES). Yet, little is known about ecological and social impacts of such interventions in the context of socio‐ecological framework and environmental justice.

Using Pleiades Satellite Imagery to Monitor Multi-Annual Coastal Dune Morphological Changes

Remote Sensing
In the context of sea levels rising, monitoring spatial and temporal topographic changes along coastal dunes is crucial to understand their dynamics since they represent natural barriers against coastal flooding and large sources of sediment that can ...
