A Possible Land Cover EAGLE Approach to Overcome Remote Sensing Limitations in the Alps Based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2: The Case of Aosta Valley (NW Italy)

Tommaso Orusa et al.

Summary: This study proposed an approach to map land cover in mountain areas by overcoming remote sensing limitations and following the newest EAGLE guidelines. Copernicus Sentinel-1 and 2 data were used and tested in Aosta Valley, Italy. The results showed that K-Nearest-Neighbor and Minimum Distance classification methods can improve accuracy and reduce errors.

A Scalable Earth Observation Service to Map Land Cover in Geomorphological Complex Areas beyond the Dynamic World: An Application in Aosta Valley (NW Italy)

Tommaso Orusa et al.

Summary: The Earth Observation services play a crucial role in continuous land cover mapping and have gained significant attention worldwide. The Google Earth Engine Dynamic World serves as a global example in this field. This study focuses on developing a land cover mapping service in the geologically complex areas of Aosta Valley in NW Italy, following the latest European EAGLE legend starting from 2020. The research utilizes Sentinel-2 data processed in the Google Earth Engine, combining multispectral indexes and k-nearest neighbor classification for accurate mapping of various land cover classes. Deep learning and GIS updated datasets, along with SAR Sentinel-1 SLC data, are also employed for mapping urban and water surfaces. The effectiveness of the implemented service and methodology is tested by comparing the overall accuracy with other approaches, and the mixed hierarchical approach proves to be the most effective for mapping geologically complex areas.

Snow Metrics as Proxy to Assess Sarcoptic Mange in Wild Boar: Preliminary Results in Aosta Valley (Italy)

Annalisa Viani et al.

Summary: The widespread diffusion of wild boars in Italy and their use for hunting have allowed for studies on various diseases in this animal, although only a few diseases have received substantial funding and attention. This study focused on sarcoptic mange in the wild boar population, including sympatric species, in Aosta Valley. Empirical evidence suggested a potential role of snow metrics in the spread of this parasite. By performing remote sensing analysis on snow metrics, new tools were provided for veterinarians, foresters, biologists, and ecologists to better understand wild boar dynamics and enhance management and planning strategies. The results showed that sarcoptic mange is present in an endemic form with low prevalence values, and favorable conditions for spreading were observed under specific snow metrics values.

Accessing the Heat Exposure Risk in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region Based on Heat Island Footprint Analysis

Xuecheng Fu et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the spatiotemporal characteristics of heat exposure risk and its relationship with urbanization factors in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region. The results show that the region faces severe urban heat island problems, and the population at risk of heat exposure increases with urbanization factors, indicating a worsening trend. Effective measures must be taken to mitigate heat exposure risk.

An Integrated, Tentative Remote-Sensing Approach Based on NDVI Entropy to Model Canine Distemper Virus in Wildlife and to Prompt Science-Based Management Policies

Emanuele Carella et al.

Summary: This study focuses on Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) outbreaks in the Aosta Valley region of Italy and finds that CDV trends are closely related to environmental changes. The use of remote sensing and GIS tools can help monitor and control the spread of CDV in wildlife, as well as support policy-making for wildlife health management and conservation.

Geospatial Analysis of Land Use/Cover Change and Land Surface Temperature for Landscape Risk Pattern Change Evaluation of Baghdad City, Iraq, Using CA-Markov and ANN Models

Wafaa Majeed Mutashar Al-Hameedi et al.

Summary: Understanding future landscape risk pattern change scenarios can help manage and utilize natural resources effectively. This study examined various landscape and anthropogenic factors and found that land use/cover change and land surface temperature are significant drivers of environmental changes. The analysis of past and future changes in these factors revealed an increase in risk levels in Baghdad City over the coming decades.

Mapping SAR geometric distortions and their stability along time: a new tool in Google Earth Engine based on Sentinel-1 image time series

De Petris Samuele et al.

Summary: The operational services based on SAR data hold potential, but are hindered by the complexity of data pre-processing. A trigonometry-based mapping method in GEE was implemented in this study to generate distortion maps and evaluate the reliability of SAR data for information deduction. The results show that this methodology can effectively mask unreliable observations and inform users about the areas suitable for SAR data monitoring.

Surface urban heat island intensity in five major cities of Bangladesh: Patterns, drivers and trends

Ashraf Dewan et al.

Summary: The research investigated the spatiotemporal variation of SUHII in major cities of Bangladesh, finding that larger cities have higher SUHII, with daytime SUHII greater than nighttime. Factors such as population, lack of greenery, and anthropogenic forcing play significant roles in influencing SUHII, with varying trends observed in urban development.

Supporting Pro-Poor Reforms of Agricultural Systems in Eastern DRC (Africa) with Remotely Sensed Data: A Possible Contribution of Spatial Entropy to Interpret Land Management Practices

Pietro De Marinis et al.

Summary: The study focuses on existing agricultural production systems in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, using remote sensing imagery and entropy analysis to investigate the spatial distribution of subsistence-oriented agriculture (SOA) and business-oriented agriculture (BOA) in the Katoyi collectivity of Masisi territory. The results show that land use and entropy analysis can provide updated information on existing land distribution among different production systems, supporting better intervention strategies in development cooperation and pro-poor agrarian land tenure reforms in conflict-ridden landscapes.
