The thesis aimed to retriever foliar nitrogen at the leaf and canopy level using radiative transfer models and with hyperspectral remote sensing. The research in this thesis firstly evaluated the feasibility of retrieving nitrogen by inversion of aleaf radiative transfer model PROSPECT. The indirect estimation of nitrogen by inversion of leaf PROSPECT through links between model and the empiri…
This thesis describes the application of time series analysis to satellite derived thermal infrared imagery, in order to determine if spatiotemporally limited anomalies can be linked to earthquake occurrence as has been suggested by literature. For this pupose, a methodology is applied that can sppress large scale patterns and highligt subbtle localized fluctuations in hypertemporal satellite …
This thesis aims to improve snow processes simulations by land surface models (LSM). The LSM simulated snow processes define energy and water fluxes over the snow covered land surface for the numerical weather prediction models. Therefore, the improvements in snow processes simulation are expected to impact positively the weather and stream flow forecasts. The research described in this thesi…
Salah satu dampak dari perubahan iklim global adalah perubahan muka air laut. Kenaikan muka air laut didefinisikan sebagai peningkatan volume air laut yang disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti fluktuasi curah hujan yang tinggi serta meningkatnya suhu air laut. Perubahan muka air laut dalam waktu yang cukup lama dengan nilai oerubahan yang tinggi dapat memberi dampak yang destruktif pada popu…
Ketahanan pangan dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor yaitu ketersediaan pangan, aspek pangan, pemanfaatan pangan dan kerentanan pangan. Aspek yang dapat mempengaruhi kerentanan pangan adalah penurunan produktivitas pangan, salah satu satunya adalah tanaman padi yang merupakan pangan pokok di Indonesia. Penyebab penurunan produktivitas padi adalah kondisi kerentanan lingkungan satu wilayah,. Tujua…
This thesis aimed to quantify the functional and structuring role of MPB on estuarine tidal flats in the estuarine ecosystem. A genetic method was developed to retrieve MPB primary production rates from a combination of remotely sensed information, that allows the assessment of MPB on the estuary scale, ambient temperature measurements, field measurements of photosynthetic parameters and a tid…
This Thesis aimed to accurately map the species of individual trees using multi source remotely sensed data, including aerial photographs, airbone LiDAR and hyperspectral data. The Research in the thesis firstly evaluated the performance of geometric and radiometric metrics from airbone LiDAR data under leaf on and leaft off conditions for individual tree species discrimination. The results em…
This book offers an introduction to remotely sensed image processing and classification in R using machine learning algorithms. It also provides a concise and practical refence tutorial, which equips readers to immediately start using the software platform and R packages for image processing and classification. This book is divided into five chapter. Chapter 1, introduces remote sensing digi…
The LiDAR data within this book is collected from 27 areas in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, and Haiti and includes 183 figures created to introduce the concepts, methods, and applications in a clear context. It provides 11 step-by-step projects predominately based on Esri's ArcGIS software to support seamiess integration of LiDAR products and other GIS data. The first six projects …
