• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

Variability in the leaf phenology of tropical trees impacts their growth. How phenology of tree species responds over rainfall gradient is relevant to study in the light of current climatic changes.

Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

Forests hide critical ecological information beneath dense canopy layers, where traditional imaging techniques struggle to access.

Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and multispectral photography. While radar and LiDAR penetrate canopies to reveal ...

Two robotic rovers are exploring the Martian surface with a focus on past habitability and detection of biosignatures – NASA Curiosity and Perseverance, with the ESA ExoMars rover Rosalind Franklin ...

Vegetation variables are important for evaluating the status and temporal processes of vegetated land surfaces. Using the AVHRR reflectance data it is possible to derive such vegetation variables ...
