Scientists from Sun Yat-Sen University developed a large-scale annotated dataset (Globe230k) for high generalized global land cover mapping. The annotated patches provide cues to help classification ...

Remote sensing isn’t just about pixels and algorithms—it’s about people, places, and the stories they hold. From detecting environmental changes to mapping land cover, accuracy and validation ensure ...

The Landsat Program comprises a series of Earth-observing satellite missions of, thus far, six satellites. The Program is jointly managed by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and the Department ...

This chapter covers active sensing of the atmosphere using both ground-based and satellite-borne radars. Owing to the vast expanse of weather, hydrometeors, and atmospheric gases, in situ measurements ...

International partnerships that provide political and financial contracts are highly needed to conserve tropical rainforests, ...

The commercial remote sensing sector has evolved dramatically since Congress enacted the Land Remote Sensing Act. Private ventures like Planet routinely capture timely imagery — such as this July 21 ...

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) aim to enhance nature to tackle pressing challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. In this panel, Camilo Alejo and Angela Kross will discuss their ...

Remote sensing technologies, using satellite and aerial data, could revolutionize the management of the oil palm industry, bringing both business and environmental benefits, say environmental experts.

Active sensing encompasses the use of a transmitter and at least one receiver to measure (sense) the transmission or scattering properties of a medium at radio frequencies. In transmission ...
