Ecosystem Monitoring Development in the European Russian Tundra Based on Sar/ers Data

Development of Methods for Detection and Monitoring of Fire Disturbance in the Alaskan Tundra Using a Two-Decade Long Record of Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite Images

Using the extensive archive of historical ERS-1 and -2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, this analysis demonstrates that fire disturbance can be effectively detected and monitored in high northern latitudes using radar technology. A total of 392 SAR images from May to August spanning 1992–2010 were analyzed from three study fires in the Alaskan tundra. The investigated fires included the 2...

Detection and Discrimination of Sea Surface Films in the Coastal Zone of Northeastern Black Sea Using Sar Data

Results of radar monitoring of the sea surface in the Russian sector of the Black Sea coastal zone are presented. The attention was focused on the detection of oil pollution as well as biogenic and anthropogenic surfactant films. The basic data were high resolution radar images obtained by synthetic aperture radars (SAR) on board Envisat and ERS-2 satellites of the European Space Agency. Spatia...

Oil spill detection using in Sentinel-1 satellite images based on Deep learning concepts

Awareness of the marine area is very important for crisis management in the event of an accident. Oil spills are one of the main threats to the marine and coastal environments and seriously affect the marine ecosystem and cause political and environmental concerns because it seriously affects the fragile marine and coastal ecosystem. The rate of discharge of pollutants and its related effects o...

Ers and Jers-1 Sar Data Application for Russian Boreal Forest Mapping and Monitoring

Mapping re scars in global boreal forests using imaging radar data

This study is an extension of earlier research which demonstrated the utility of ERS SAR data for detection and monitoring of Ž re-disturbed boreal forests of Alaska. Fire scars were mappable in Alaska due to the ecological changes that occur post-burn including increased soil moisture. High soil moisture caused a characteristic enhanced backscatter signal to be received by the ERS sensor from ...
