Modelling terrestrial carbon fluxes and crop production with remote sensing and in-situ observations
(2020-08-20)
Plants fix carbon through photosynthesis, sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and substantially mitigating the climate warming effect induced by anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Terrestrial gross primary production ...
High-resolution Satellite-based Modeling and Assessment of Gross Primary Production over Agroecosystems for Precision Agriculture
(2023-12-15)
Sustainable agriculture stands at the forefront of the global sustainable development strategic goals (SDGs), targeting the needs of increasing production to meet the growing food demands and to ensure profitability for ...
THE USE OF REMOTE SENSING AND EDDY COVARIANCE TECHNOLOGIES TO CHARACTERIZE CROPLAND, DROUGHT AND LAND MANAGEMENTS AND THEIR IMPACTS ON ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS
(2017-05-12)
With the increasing population, human needs more food, fresh water, and other ecosystem services, which burdens the agricultural and natural ecosystems. Under the background of climate change, meeting these human needs ...
INTEGRATION OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNIQUES IN THE ASSESSMENT OF VULNERABILITY OF TREES TO ICE STORMS IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA
(2010)
Every year, natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, wild fires,
Development and evaluation of a hydrological and hydraulic coupled flood prediction system enabled by remote sensing, numerical weather prediction, and deep learning technologies
(2021-05-14)
Floods triggered by extreme precipitation are the most frequently occurring and disastrous natural hazards in the world. However, it is still challenging to provide accurate and flood mapping, flood damage estimation, and ...
Earth observation and mosquito-borne diseases: assessing environmental risk factors for disease transmission via remote sensing data
(2021)
Despite global intervention efforts, mosquito-borne diseases remain a major public health concern in many parts of the world. New strategies to target interventions rely on spatially explicit information about disease ...
INTELLIGENT CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR BIG DATA ENABLED HYDROLOGICAL MODELING, PREDICTION, AND EVALUATION
(2015)
Most hydrologic data are associated with spatiotemporal information, which is capable of presenting patterns and changes in both spatial and temporal aspects. The demands of retrieving, managing, analyzing, visualizing, ...
ECOSYSTEM RESPONSES TO CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: DROUGHT ASSESSMENT (REMOTE SENSING), FIELD MEASUREMENTS (EDDY COVARIANCE) AND MODELING (DNDC)
(2017-12-15)
Climate variability and management practices in isolation or in combination influence the properties of ecosystems and the flows of energy and materials through them. The goal of this dissertation is to better understand ...
Digital radar receiver design based on highly efficient bandpass sampling FPGA architecture
(2009)
As digital electronics become faster and more efficient, it becomes possible to move the analog/digital interface in a radar downconversion system further towards the antenna. Instead of digitizing radar echoes at the end ...
Mapping and Analyzing Urban Growth: A Study to Identify Drivers of Urban Growth in West Africa
(2016-05)
Urban area expansion is one of the most powerful anthropogenic forces changing the earth‘s surface. Such changes are happening at much faster rates in African and Asian cities. Several interconnected but distinct processes ...
