Remote sensing and hydrologic modeling are 2 key approaches to evaluate and predict hydrology and water resources. This paper presents an overview of research efforts to combine hydrologic/land models and remote sensing products (mainly including
The AA. review the capabilities of modern remote sensing for describing biodiversity, plant traits, vegetation condition, ecological processes, soil properties, and hydrological variables and highlight how these products may contribute to ecosystem
service (ES) assessments. By drawing on the increasing range of remote sensing instruments and measurements, data sets appropriate to the estimation of a given ES can be selected or developed. In so doing, the AA. anticipate rapid progress to the spatial

A mapping method was developed by integrating remote sensing parameters to identify eroded areas under high density canopy in the Changting County, Fujian Province. The remotely sensed vegetation indices, vegetation fractional canopy (VFC) and leaf
sensitive to subcanopy soil erosion than from VFC. Therefore, the remote sensing based method can be used for operational erosion monitoring in southern China.

Recent advances in radar remote sensing of precipitation include the development of polarimetric radar, which has the capability of transmitting in both the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarization states. Radar polarimetry has not only been
Here,remote sensing data are analyzed for investigating if a set of Late Quaternary triangular, fan-shaped morphologies from a large wetland in northern Brazilian Amazonia corresponds to residual megafan deposits. The results revealed main

This paper illustrates how the practices of bird-watching are integral to the making and remaking of sense of place as ‘home’ and ‘away’, to sustain identities beyond accepted categories of ‘dude’, ‘birder’ and ‘twitcher’. The creation
and application of different types of ‘bird-lists’ helps to explain the ways in which practices of bird-watching facilitate making sense of place as simultaneously ‘home’, ‘away’ and habitat, as well as the identity work of home-maker, citizen-scientist

Assessment of the effects of biophysical and anthropogenic factors on woody plant encroachment in dense and sparse mountain grasslands based on remote sensing data
This study assessed woody plant encroachment below potential tree line in the Central Pyrenees of Spain and the association of this encroachment with changes in land use. Remote sensing data from Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) from the mid-1980s
Based on 1 km resolution DEM data, meteorological observations and NOAA-AVHRR remote sensing data, a distributed model for the calculation of global solar radiation (GSR) over rugged terrain within the Yangtze River Basin has been developed

Public taps and private connections : the production of caste distinction and common sense in a Rajasthan drinking water supply project
This article examines public taps and private connections through the production of caste distinction and common sense in a Rajasthan drinking water supply project. To do so, it brings together geographic research on neoliberal water governance
