The 1st International Conference on Advanced Remote Sensing—Shaping Sustainable Global Landscapes (ICARS 2025) was held in Barcelona, Spain, from 26–28 March 2025 [...]

The motivation behind this research is the fact that agricultural production in Bulgaria is a key contributor to the national economy. The current study presents a robust methodology for predicting crop yields using multitemporal Sentinel-2 satellite...

Hyperspectral (HS) remote sensing is a valuable tool for geological surveys and mineral classification. However, mineral maps derived from HS data can exhibit inconsistencies across different imaging times or sensors due to complex factors. In this s...

Coastal erosion is a global issue exacerbated by extreme events, ENSO variability, storms, and anthropogenic pressures. In Chile, over 80% of beaches are affected by erosion, impacting more than one million people. This study analyzes the evolution o...

Coastal heritage assets are crucial to a society’s history and must be preserved sustainably, despite their vulnerability to both natural and anthropogenic hazards. Their monitoring is challenging due to the interrelated nature of these attribu...

In the mountainous and foothill areas of Santiago, Chile, debris flows and debris floods have been recurrent over recent decades, triggered by short-duration, high-intensity summer rainfall events. These events have caused significant damage to infra...

High-Andean wetlands are critical ecosystems for water regulation and carbon storage. This study analyzes the impact of climate variability on vegetation dynamics in eight wetlands located in the Estero Ortiga sub-basin, within the Los Nogales Nature...

Maricá, located on the eastern coast of Rio de Janeiro, experiences rapid urban growth driven by infrastructure and economic development. This study presents the first high-resolution projection of Maricá’s urban expansion (2030&n...

Monitoring rainfall is essential to understanding hydrological processes, managing water resources, and mitigating drought and flood risks. Many regions, particularly in developing countries, have sparse rain gauge networks, which limit spatial cover...

Droughts are becoming more frequent, severe, and impactful across the globe. Agroecosystems, which are human-made ecosystems with high water demand that provide essential ecosystem services, are vulnerable to extreme droughts. Although water use effi...

In the Mediterranean basin, wildfires burn an average of 600,000 ha per year, causing severe ecological, economic, and social impacts. Fire behavior modeling is essential for wildfire prevention and control. Three-dimensional physics-based fire behav...

This study presents a 39-year spatiotemporal analysis of shoreline variability at Topocalma Beach (Chile) using satellite-derived data collected between 1985 and 2024. A total of 350 satellite images were processed with CoastSat and DSAS v6.0 to quan...

Urban air pollution poses a significant challenge to public health and sustainable development, particularly in mid-sized cities with limited monitoring capabilities. This study investigates the impact of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) on air quality a...

Urban green infrastructure plays a vital role in the sustainable development of cities. As urban areas expand, green spaces are increasingly affected. The pressure from new developments leads to a reduction in vegetation and raises new public health...

The FLEX-S3 mission by ESA will deliver key Level 2 products such as sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and vegetation-reflected radiance. To validate these, the SpaFLEX project, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, is de...

The capability of U-Net methods and aerial orthoimagery to identify tree crown mortality in study areas in Bavaria, Germany was evaluated and aspects such as model transferability were investigated. We trained the models with imagery from May to Sept...

The high resolution of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, in addition to its capability to see through clouds and rain, makes it a crucial remote sensing technique. However, SAR images are very sensitive to radar parameters, the observation...

This study examines urban expansion, coastal erosion, and extreme wave events in Licantén, Maule Region, following the 2010 earthquake and tsunami. Using multi-source data—Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery, ERA5 reanalysis, high-resolution...

Ravine forests are key to conserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem processes in fragmented landscapes. Here, we evaluated the phenology of plant species in the Los Nogales Nature Sanctuary (Lo Barnechea, Chile) using Sentinel-2 images (2019&...

Cities are the growth engines responsible for shaping the global economy, major contributors to climate change, and are significantly affected by it. However, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to make these cities an...

Urbanization is one of the most important challenges contributing to the trend of replacing agricultural land with high-value land uses, such as housing, as well as industrial and commercial activities, as a result of significant population growth. T...

Crop height is a key indicator of plant development and growth dynamics, offering valuable insights for temporal crop monitoring. However, modeling its variation across phenological stages remains challenging due to canopy structural changes. This st...

This study investigates the spatial distribution of transition metals—iron (Fe), titanium (Ti), and chromium (Cr)—within the Dryden crater on the Moon using hyperspectral data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M³). By applying spectral parameters and...

Phenological parameters extracted from time series (TS) of spectral indices are essential to characterizing crops. However, the lack of data in the TS can affect their accuracy. The Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) provides these parameters...

This study investigates the mineral composition of the lunar Dryden Crater using Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M³) data. A RGB false-color composite reveals distinct pyroxene, anorthosite, and possibly spinel distribution patterns. Orthopyroxenes, excavate...

Dinder Biosphere Reserve (DBR), a UNESCO-recognized biodiversity hotspot in Sudan, faces escalating land-use pressure. We analyzed land cover changes from 2019 to 2024 using Sentinel-2 imagery processed in Google Earth Engine. A Random Forest classif...

Solar radiation storms, caused by high-energy solar energetic particles (SEPs) released during solar flares or coronal mass ejections (CMEs), have a substantial impact on the Earth’s environment. These storms can disrupt satellite operations, i...
