A confluence of factors is making wildfires worse. Among them: increasingly dramatic swings between wet and dry conditions in ...

To test this idea, they used a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a measure of precipitation and corresponding pastoral grazing opportunity, with NDVI values obtained from Landsat 5 ...

Digital-twin technology combines remote sensing, big data and artificial intelligence to simulate and predict real-world crop ...

The authors have undertaken a useful study to update an existing niche model of highly pathogenic avian influenza. However, there are issues regarding the conceptualisation of the ecological niche of ...

A perfect storm of climate extremes set the stage for devastating wildfires in Los Angeles in early 2025. After two ...

A new measure of what's needed to maintain health has identified Australia's healthiest areas to live based on a range of ...

Although the Raspberry Pi started out as a way for kids to learn to code, it has turned into so much more since its invention in 2012. At first, the Pi was something of a simplified computer, and ...

In this study, we developed a predictive model that incorporates normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the spatiotemporal baselines of SAR image pairs, allowing for the a priori estimation ...

Zack Rendel is kneeling at the edge of a wheat field just south of farm headquarters in Miami. He’s digging in the soil with ...

Vegetation indices can be built after processing the spectral reflectance data acquired by UAV-based spectrometers using statistical methods to estimate LAI, such as Normalized Difference Vegetation ...

Three different indices, namely the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), built-up index (NDBI), and water index (NDWI) were used for disaggregation of Landsat LST (100/30 m) to 10 m Sentinel ...
