TL;DR
A cloud-based, explainable framework that integrates big-data processing of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar on Google Earth Engine with tree-based bagging and boosting ensembles in the Takkalasi watershed, Indonesia provides a reproducible and transferable basis for ecosystem-based flood adaptation in data-scarce tropical watersheds.
Wildfire monitoring using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides critical capabilities under challenging atmospheric conditions where optical sensors are limited by smoke and cloud cover. We evaluated Sentinel-1 C-band SAR interferometric coherence for Burned-area detection of the 2017 “Las Máquinas” megafire (Maule,...

Floods in monsoon-dominated river basins exhibit high spatio-temporal variability, necessitating high-resolution, multi-sensor approaches for reliable monitoring and impact assessment. In flood-prone agricultural regions, continuous monitoring using optical remote sensing is frequently hindered by dense monsoon cloud c...
Informal settlements represent a major urban challenge in rapidly expanding cities, yet their identification from Earth Observation (EO) data remains difficult because of their heterogeneous appearance and incomplete official inventories. This work presents a multi-sensor deep learning (DL) framework for slum-likelihoo...

Multi-source remote sensing fusion is widely assumed to improve soil salinity (SSC) inversion accuracy. However, its actual effectiveness in complex tidal flat environments remains insufficiently validated. This study evaluated five fusion schemes (single-source Sentinel-2, single-source GF-2, S2+S1, GF-2+S1, and all-s...
