TL;DR: The main objective of the study is to provide an overview of broader research challenges and directions in XR, especially in spatial sciences, and to provide case studies with original results from their own studies in each section.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear regression model was developed to relate local fire activity to an index of the North Tropical Atlantic (NTA) sea surface temperature (SST) in the western Amazon.

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Thornthwaite Climate Classification is applied to a 32-member ensemble of CMIP5 GCMs in order to evaluate model performance in the historical climate and assess projected climate change at the end of the 21 s t th century following two greenhouse gas representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an empirical method to estimate the extent of evapotranspiration (E T) over the Brazilian Amazon rainforest based on an improved physical understanding of what controls E T over the Amazonia rainforest resulting from analyses of recent in situ observations.

TL;DR: Comparisons between the retrieved thermal anomalies and field measurements in different aspects are reported to prove that the coal fires are separable by the SAGBT method, and an improvement to SAGBT is proposed.
