Progress in the remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)Remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) has increased substantially in recent years. Of significant prominence, is the delineation and mapping of groundwater-dependent vegetation (GDV), species diversity, ... -
Progress in the remote sensing of veld fire occurrence and detection: A review
(Wiley, 2023)Our research provides a detailed overview of the progress in remotely sensed fire monitoring techniques, which have been developed and employed for fire occurrence and detection. Our overview is provided from a literature ... -
Progress in the use of geospatial and remote sensing technologies in the assessment and monitoring of tomato crop diseases
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)With a growing global population and accelerating climatechange, systematic assessment and monitoring of crop diseases isurgently required to ensure food security and production.However, current dietary transitions ... -
Prospective policy safeguards to mitigate hydrogeological risk pathways in advance of shale gas development in the Karoo basin, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)Policies surrounding energy development are frequently implemented in response to known or perceived problems. South Africa is in a unique position to develop prospective policies that build on knowledge gained from ... -
Provenance and tectonic setting of the Paleozoic Tamatán Group, NE Mexico: Implications for the closure of the Rheic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)The Huizachal–Peregrina Anticlinorium in northeastern Mexico comprises a wide variety of Precambrian and Paleozoic basement units. In this work, Silurian-to-Permian unmetamorphosed siliciclastic successions (i.e., Cañón ... -
Provenance of metasedimentary rocks of the western Dom Feliciano Belt in Uruguay: Insights from U–Pb detrital zircon geochronology, Hf and Nd model ages, and geochemical data
(Elsevier, 2021)New isotopic and geochemical data for the Paleo- Meso- and Neoproterozoic metasedimentary cover of the southern Dom Feliciano Belt (Brasiliano/Pan-African) are presented and evaluated combined with published information. ... -
Quantitative study on the changes of Karst groundwater level and hydrochemistry in Jinci spring catchment, Shanxi, China
(Springer Nature, 2020)Since Jinci spring ceased to flow on April 30, 1994, it has never been reflowed, which seriously affects the sustainable utilization of karst groundwater. The purpose of this paper is to provide the basis for the reflow ... -
Radio spectral properties of star-forming galaxies in the MIGHTEE-COSMOS field and their impact on the far-infrared-radio correlation
(Oxford University Press, 2021)We study the radio spectral properties of 2094 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) by combining our early science data from theMeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) survey with VLA, GMRT ... -
Reconstructing drainage pathways in the North Atlantic during the Triassic utilizing heavy minerals, mineral chemistry, and detrital zircon geochronology
(Geological Society of America, 2021)In this study, single-grain mineral geochemistry, detrital zircon geochronology, and conventional heavy-mineral analysis are used to elucidate sediment transport pathways that existed in the North Atlantic region during ... -
Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management
(MDPI, 2023)In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, the main goal of the Special Issue on “Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management” was to solicit papers from a diverse range of ... -

Remote Sensing Grassland Productivity Attributes: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2023)A third of the land on the Earth is composed of grasslands, mainly used for forage. Much effort is being conducted to develop tools to estimate grassland productivity (GP) at different extents, concentrating on spatial and ... -
Remote sensing of land use-land cover change and climate variability on hydrological processes in Sub-Saharan Africa: Key scientific strides and challenges
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)The impact of land use land cover (LULC) change and climatevariability on water resources poses as a major threat in semi-aridenvironments, especially in the sub-Saharan Africa. Countries insub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable ... -
Remotely sensed applications in monitoring the spatio-temporal dynamics of pools and flows along non-perennial rivers: A review
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)Non-perennial rivers (NPRs) account for more than 50% of the world’s river network and their occurrence is expanding. Some rivers that were previously classified as perennial have evolved to be NPRs in response to climate ... -
Remotely sensed c3 and c4 grass species aboveground biomass variability in response to seasonal climate and topography
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)Seasonal climate and topography influence C3 and C4 grass species aboveground biomass (AGB). Climate change further threatens these grasses AGB, thereby compromising their ability to provide ecosystem goods and services. ... -
