Contributions to the Improvement of Climate Data Availability and Quality for Sub-Saharan Africa

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
Reliable weather observations are the basis to assess climate change and variability. Compared to other regions of the world, long time series of weather observations are sparse in many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Deformation Monitoring Using Satellite Radar Interferometry [PDF]

2020 IEEE Latin American GRSS & ISPRS Remote Sensing Conference (LAGIRS), 2020
Abstract. The paper is focused on the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) technique. First, it addresses the substantial evolution of PSI in the last twenty years. Three main factors are identified: the availability of SAR images, the development of advanced data processing techniques, and the increase of the computation capability.

Uncovering Patterns: Data Mining the Deforestation Frontier in Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The Brazilian Cerrado, recognized as the world's most diverse tropical savanna, has undergone significant land clearance for agriculture, cattle ranching, and charcoal production, leading to considerable loss of its natural vegetation. This deforestation
