Leveraging Google Earth engine platform to characterize and map small seasonal wetlands in the semi-arid environments of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2022)
Although significant scientific research strides have been made in mapping the spatial extents and
ecohydrological dynamics of wetlands in semi-arid environments, the focus on small wetlands remains a challenge. This is ...
Fine-scale multi-temporal and spatial analysis of agricultural drought in agro-ecological regions of Zimbabwe
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
This study utilised multi-temporal satellite data to characterize droughts across the five Agro-ecological zones (AEZ) of Zimbabwe at monthly, seasonal, sub-seasonal and annual scales (2000 to 2018) using a combination of ...
Pansharpened landsat 8 thermal-infrared data for improved land surface temperature characterization in a heterogeneous urban landscape
(Elsevier, 2022)
Challenges associated with adolescents are prevalent in South African societies. During the adolescence stage, children may become involved in deviant behaviour. Although a significant number of studies have focused on the ...
Evaluating the impact of land use and land cover change on unprotected wetland ecosystems in the arid-tropical areas of South Africa using the Landsat dataset and support vector machine
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
The study explored the impact of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change dynamics in relation to the condition and status of an unprotected wetland located in the arid-tropical parts of the Limpopo Province, South Africa. ...
Spatial characterisation of vegetation diversity in groundwater-dependent ecosystems using in-situ and sentinel-2 msi satellite data
(MDPI, 2022)
Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) are under threat from groundwater overabstraction,
which significantly impacts their conservation and sustainable management. Although
the socio-economic significance of GDEs is ...
Using the water balance approach to understand pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers in the semi-arid areas of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2022)
The Touws River in the Klein Karoo region of South Africa Study focus: This study sought to improve the understanding of pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers (NPRs) by utilising the water balance approach to assess the ...
A systematic review on the use of remote sensing technologies in quantifying grasslands ecosystem services
(2022)
The last decade has seen considerable progress in scientific research on vegetation ecosystem services. While much research has focused on forests and wetlands, grasslands also provide a variety of different provisioning, ...
Spatial clustering of vegetation fire intensity using modis satellite data
(MDPI, 2022)
This work analyses the spatial clustering of fire intensity in Zimbabwe, using remotely
sensed Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire occurrence data. In
order to investigate the spatial pattern ...
Hierarchical Bayesian geostatistics for C stock prediction in disturbed plantation forest in Zimbabwe
(Ecological Informatics, 2022)
We develop and present a novel Bayesian hierarchical geostatistical model for the prediction of plantation forest carbon stock (C stock) in the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe using multispectral Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 ...
Remote sensing for water resources and environmental management
(Remote Sensing, 2022-12-21)
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 ...
