This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for evaluating the ability of satellite and reanalysis rainfall data to provide localised, historical rainfall information for agricultural applications. This meets a major need for location‐specific rainfall information to improve climate information services for millions of small‐holder farming ...

Abstract Irrigation is essential for stabilizing yields and sustaining food production, yet it faces increasing challenges, especially in water‐scarce regions. Cosmic‐ray neutron sensors (CRNS) are a promising tool in irrigation management as they can continuously monitor soil water content (SWC) over large areas.

Kriging Methodology for Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Electromagnetics
We present the implementation and use of the Kriging methodology, i.e., surrogate models based on Kriging interpolation, in uncertainty quantification (UQ) in computational electromagnetics (CEM).

Calibration and Improved Prediction of Computer Models by Universal Kriging [PDF]
This paper addresses the use of experimental data for calibrating a computer model and improving its predictions of the underlying physical system. A global statistical approach is proposed in which the bias between the computer model and the physical system is modeled as a realization of a Gaussian process.

Estimation of gradients from sparse data by universal kriging [PDF]
The determination of a gradient, or directional derivative, of a spatial variable is a common problem in many Earth science applications. For hydraulic heads, for example, the gradient defines the direction of the groundwater flow and is used in solving groundwater flow and transport equations.

We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Detected Shifts Towards Drought‐Adaptive Strategies in the Amazon Forest Over the Last Four Decades
Amazon forests are facing hotter, drier conditions, and we used 40 years of satellite data to look for early signs of ecological change. Combining satellite observations with leaf measurements from more than 3000 trees, we show that many forests now show smaller dry‐season fluctuations in canopy colour—especially in the southern and eastern Amazon ...

ABSTRACT Saruq al‐Hadid, located at the edge of the Rub Al‐Khali desert near Dubai's southern border with Abu Dhabi, is among the region's richest archaeological sites. Renowned for its historical role in metallurgy, trade and human habitation, the site was occupied from the Umm an‐Nar period through the post–Iron Age. Despite its significance, much of
