Assessment of Mining Extent and Expansion in Myanmar Based on Freely-Available Satellite Imagery
Katherine J. LaJeunesse Connette,Grant M. Connette,Asja Bernd,Paing Phyo,Kyaw Htet Aung,Ye Lin Tun,Zaw Min Thein,Ned Horning,Peter Leimgruber,Melissa Songer +9 more
TL;DR: This four-month project provides the first publicly-available database of mining areas in Myanmar, and it demonstrates an approach for large-scale assessment of mining extent and expansion based on freely-available data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmonizing Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2: A time-series-based reflectance adjustment approach
Rong Shang,Zhe Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a time-series-based reflectance adjustment (TRA) approach was developed for reducing the reflectance differences between Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling up to National/Regional Urban Extent Mapping Using Landsat Data
G. Trianni,Gianni Lisini,Emanuele Angiuli,E. A. Moreno,Piercarlo Dondi,Alessandro Gaggia,Paolo Gamba +6 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a methodology to extract a consistent human settlement extent layer using Landsat data and its implementation in the Google Earth Engine platform, allowing to check their evolution at 30-m spatial resolution.

Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
Matthias Baumann,Christoph Israel,María Piquer-Rodríguez,Gregorio I. Gavier-Pizarro,José Norberto Volante,Tobias Kuemmerle +5 more
TL;DR: This paper used the full Landsat image archive to reconstruct deforestation and post-deforestation dynamics between 1987 and 2012 for the entire Paraguayan Chaco, where deforestation has been rampant recently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms as Risk Factors for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Nathan Torbick,Beth Ziniti,Elijah W. Stommel,Ernst Linder,Angeline S. Andrew,Tracie A. Caller,Jim Haney,Walter G. Bradley,Patricia L. Henegan,Xun Shi +9 more
TL;DR: The outcomes support the hypothesis that cyanotoxins increase the risk of ALS, which helps the understanding of the etiology of ALS.

TL;DR: This self-contained volume will be valuable to all engineers, scientists, and practitioners interested in the analysis and processing of digital images.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Landsat surface reflectance dataset for North America, 1990-2000
Jeffrey G. Masek,Eric Vermote,Nazmi Saleous,Robert E. Wolfe,Forrest G. Hall,Karl F. Huemmrich,Feng Gao,J. Kutler,Teng-Kui Lim +8 more
TL;DR: Initial comparisons with ground-based optical thickness measurements and simultaneously acquired MODIS imagery indicate comparable uncertainty in Landsat surface reflectance compared to the standard MODIS reflectance product.

Discriminating clear sky from clouds with MODIS
Steven A. Ackerman,Kathleen I. Strabala,W. Paul Menzel,Richard A. Frey,Christopher C. Moeller,Liam E. Gumley +5 more
TL;DR: The MODIS cloud mask algorithm as discussed by the authors uses several cloud detection tests to indicate a level of confidence that the MEDIS is observing clear skies, which is ancillary input to MEDIS land, ocean, and atmosphere science algorithms to suggest processing options.

Calculation of radiative fluxes from the surface to top of atmosphere based on ISCCP and other global data sets: Refinements of the radiative transfer model and the input data
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used a more advanced NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) radiative transfer model and improved ISCCP cloud climatology and ancillary data sets.

Spectral signature of alpine snow cover from the Landsat Thematic Mapper.
Jeff Dozier,Jeff Dozier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral signatures of the Landsat TM images of the Sierra Nevada were analyzed to distinguish several classes of snow from other surface covers, and a number of TM images were used for automatic analysis of alpine snow cover.
