Ecological surveys of coral reefs mostly rely on visual data collected by human observers. Although new monitoring tools are emerging, their specific advantages should be identified to optimise their simultaneous use. Based on the goodness-of-fit of linear models, we co...

This work proposes a cloud solution to build an Internet of Things (IoT) platform applied in a greenhouse crop production context. Real-time and historical data, as well as prediction models, can be accessed by means of RESTful (Representational State Transfer) web serv...

Boreal forests cover over half of the global permafrost area and protect underlying permafrost. Boreal forest development, therefore, has an impact on permafrost evolution, especially under a warming climate. Forest disturbances and changing climate conditions cause veg...

Peatland biogeochemical processes have not been adequately represented in existing earth system models, which might have biased the quantification of Arctic carbon-climate feedbacks. We revise the Peatland Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (PTEM) by incorporating additional p...

Satellite altimeters routinely supply sea surface height (SSH) measurements, which are key observations for monitoring ocean dynamics. However, below a wavelength of about 70 km, along-track altimeter measurements are often characterized by a dramatic drop in signal-to-...

Many deep-learning-based, domain adaptation methods for remote sensing applications rely on adversarial training strategies to align features extracted from images of different domains in a shared latent space. However, the performance of such representation matching te...

Abstract A key aspect of the transformation of the economic sector towards a sustainable bioeconomy is the development of environmentally friendly alternatives for hitherto used chemicals, which have negative impacts on environmental health. However, the implementation ...

Background The present article questions the relative importance of local- and large-scale processes on the long-term dynamics of fire in the subalpine belt in the western Alps. The study is based on soil charcoal dating and identification, several study sites in contra...

The Amazon forests are one of the largest ecosystem carbon pools on Earth. Although more frequent and prolonged future droughts have been predicted, the impacts have remained largely uncertain, as most land surface models (LSMs) fail to capture the vegetation drought re...

Artificial skyglow is a form of light pollution with wide ranging implications on the environment. The extent, intensity and color of skyglow depends on the artificial light sources and weather conditions. Skyglow can be best determined with ground based instruments. We...
