Mapping drivers of tropical forest loss with satellite image time series and machine learning
Devis Tuia, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Jan Dirk Wegner, Jan Pisl, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
The rates of tropical deforestation remain high, resulting in carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and impacts on local communities. To design effective policies to tackle this, it is necessary to know what the drivers behind deforestation are. Since drive ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Soil warming alters tree water use and canopy stomatal conductance in a mixed subtropical forest
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen
As air temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increase continuously, forests are losing more water through evapotranspiration, with large consequences for local and global hydrological cycles. In regions with high vegetation cover, soil warming can b ...
Elsevier2024Classification of Tropical Deforestation Drivers with Machine Learning and Satellite Image Time Series
Devis Tuia, Jan Pisl, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
Tropical deforestation is a major environmental problem with severe consequences such as carbon emissions or biodiversity loss. While much research focuses on monitoring and mapping deforestation, less attention is paid to understanding the various reasons ...
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.2023Metal Catalysts for the Electrochemical Reduction of CO2
The world by and large has adopted the The Paris Agreement, which commits any signing party to cut greenhouse emissions drastically and prevent global heating above 2 °C beyond pre-industrial levels. For this ambitious goal to be met, ratifying states need ...
EPFL2023Pan-Arctic seasonal cycles and long-term trends of aerosol properties from 10 observatories
Julia Schmale, Jakob Boyd Pernov
Even though the Arctic is remote, aerosol properties observed there are strongly influenced by anthropogenic emissions from outside the Arctic. This is particularly true for the so-called Arctic haze season (January through April). In summer (June through ...

Julia Schmale, Jakob Boyd Pernov
Even though the Arctic is remote, aerosol properties observed there are strongly influenced by anthropogenic emissions from outside the Arctic. This is particularly true for the so-called Arctic haze season (January through April). In summer (June through ...
2021Alternative Scenarios for the Development of Oil Palm in the Tropics: Carbon and Nutrients Dynamics
Expansion of agriculture in forested areas poses significant threats and pressure to ecosystems and potentially the global climate. More specifically, expansion of oil palm (OP) plantations has been found to exert great impact on key ecosystem functions li ...
EPFL2020Climate change now detectable from any single day of weather at global scale
For generations, climate scientists have educated the public that 'weather is not climate', and climate change has been framed as the change in the distribution of weather that slowly emerges from large variability over decades(1-7). However, weather when ...
