Small- and medium-sized landslides frequently occur in clusters and exhibit fragmented morphologies, irregular boundaries, and spectral characteristics similar to surrounding roads, bare soil, and sparsely vegetated surfaces, making their automated e...
Accurate identification of the spatial distribution of agricultural greenhouses is essential for regional agricultural management in Japan. However, an efficient method for systematically mapping greenhouse locations onto existing farmland maps has n...
Remote-controlled UAS-based soil sampling offers great potential for scientific research and practical applications in various fields, including agriculture, environmental monitoring, hazardous waste, radiation measurements, chemical plants, snow sam...
Remote sensing is widely recognized as a key technology across a wide range of technical and scientific domains, especially in agriculture. Although satellite data have long supported crop monitoring, their limitations in spatial resolution, revisit...
Cultural heritage sites are affected by environmental and anthropogenic pressures that require decision-analysis methods capable of combining heterogeneous datasets while accounting for uncertainty. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), particular...
Effective control and management of the encroaching and invasive Vachellia karroo (V. karroo) in grassland and savanna biomes depends on accurate information about its spatial distribution, making remote sensing approaches essential for mapping the e...
Digital platforms for cultural heritage are increasingly expected to document the geometric and material properties of sites. Furthermore, such platforms are increasingly expected to preserve and communicate the intangible practices and community kno...
Parcel area sits at the intersection of urban planning, land administration and land surveying. It underpins development intensity, floor area allocation, minimum lot thresholds, land readjustment and value capture mechanisms. Yet discrepancies betwe...
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have emerged as a reliable and cost-effective tool for estimating atmospheric precipitable water vapor (PWV), particularly in regions with limited meteorological instrumentation. In this study, the performan...
InfraRed Thermography (IRT), a non-invasive, non-contact, and non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, has become an established tool in the assessment of a building’s behavior and energy performance. However, the inherent low spatial resolutio...
Geospatial data quality assurance is fundamental to effective land administration, yet regulatory frameworks vary significantly in their incorporation of internationally recognized quality concepts. This study conducts a systematic regulatory gap ana...
Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is essential for irrigation management, but its spatial estimation is limited by sparse meteorological observations. Satellite products such as MOD16 potential evapotranspiration (PET) provide spatial continuity, ye...
Climate variability represents a major threat to agricultural systems, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions such as the Beni-Amir irrigated perimeter, located in the Tadla plain in central Morocco. In this perimeter, olive trees are exposed to...
Wildfires are an increasing threat to Mediterranean ecosystems and populated areas. This study proposes an innovative static wildfire risk assessment methodology for the Apulia Region (southern Italy). The framework produces a Fire Risk Global Index...
Flash floods are among the most destructive natural hazards, often causing substantial loss of life and severe damage to infrastructure and property. Predicting flood-prone areas remains challenging because flood generation is controlled by complex i...
High-resolution land cover classification is critical for monitoring environmental change and managing natural resources. This study presents an unsupervised framework with externally guided feature prioritization that integrates Sentinel-1 synthetic...
Robust and accurate lithological parameters are essential in engineering, geology, geophysics, geodesy, and resource exploration. Among these parameters, rock density plays a fundamental role in gravimetric geodesy and geophysics. However, the system...
Digital terrain models (DTMs) are essential elevation datasets that represent the morphology of the Earth’s surface and play a critical role in applications, such as urban planning, civil engineering, infrastructure design, and environmental as...
Artificial intelligence is increasingly applied to earthquake-related seismo-ionospheric analysis with total electron content (TEC), but whether this literature is converging methodologically remains unresolved. We conducted a mapping review of 56 En...
Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) represents the atmospheric demand for water from a well-watered vegetated surface and is a key component of the hydrological cycle and agricultural water management. This study evaluated the performance of seven mac...
To track land use and land cover transformation in Makkah, techniques that allow steep relief, spectral confusion, and dense sacred–commercial mosaics, and can be justified in terms of planning, should be used. Satellite images are tedious and...
GPS-derived floating car data (FCD) provide spatially continuous urban traffic observations without fixed-sensor infrastructure. This study develops a spatiotemporal baseline framework jointly modelling day type and precipitation for 1189 junction-le...
The research analysed the space-use and habitat-preference characteristics of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the Sopron Mountains, Hungary, utilising high-resolution Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry data and two distinct land-cover databases....
