Mapping of West Siberian taiga wetland complexes using Landsat imagery: implications for methane emissions

Evaluation of Matched Filter method for wind erosion mapping Landsat 8 OLI Imagery, (Central and North West province of Khuzestan)

Successful target detection, especially if there is a similarity between the target and the background area, always is a noticeable issue in remote sensing studies. Because of the spectral behavior similarity to the other phenomena and spatial distribution of these units, the mapping of wind erosion units is difficult. Thus, this study attempts to detect the favorable areas by using matched fil...

WETCHIMP-WSL: intercomparison of wetland methane emissions models over West Siberia

Wetlands are the world’s largest natural source of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. The strong sensitivity of methane emissions to environmental factors such as soil temperature and moisture has led to concerns about potential positive feedbacks to climate change. This risk is particularly relevant at high latitudes, which have experienced pronounced warming and where thawing permafrost coul...

Wetland Mapping in the West Siberian Lowlands with Envisat Asar Global Mode

Boreal peatland covers large areas on the northern hemisphere and thus plays an important role especially as carbon storage. Results from a range of microwave sensors have already shown a large potential for hydrological applications. We tested the ScanSAR system ENVISAT ASAR Global Mode (1km) time series for wetland monitoring in boreal environments. With a simple threshold method homogeneous ...
