Semi-Supervised Deep Learning Representations in Earth Observation Based Forest Management
Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes, Oleg Antropov, Sudipan Saha
In this study, we examine the potential of several self-supervised deep learning models in predicting forest attributes and detecting forest changes using ESA Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images. The performance of the proposed deep learning models is compare ...
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc2023Riparian wetland properties counter the effect of land-use change on soil carbon stocks after rainforest conversion to plantations
Progressive conversion of tropical rainforests to agricultural monocultures in South East Asia increasingly affects landscape types such as riparian areas. The impacts of conversions on soil organic matter (SOM) vary with changing landforms. However, this ...
2021Carbon neutral expansion of oil palm plantations in the Neotropics
Alexandre Buttler, Thomas Guillaume, Juan Carlos Quezada Rivera
Alternatives to ecologically devastating deforestation land use change trajectories are needed to reduce the carbon footprint of oil palm (OP) plantations in the tropics. Although various land use change options have been proposed, so far, there are no emp ...
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)2019Radical Formation by Fine Particulate Matter Associated with Highly Oxygenated Molecules
Andrea Mario Arangio, Kai Wang, Ting Wang, Hang Su
Highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) play an important role in the formation and evolution of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, the abundance of HOMs in different environments and their relation to the oxidative potential of fine particulate matter ...
2019Tall and old Amazonian forests are more resilient to precipitation variability
Climate change is altering the natural equilibrium of the Amazon ecosystem, which is in turn deeply connected to the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. Understanding this relationship aids optimal rainforests management in the future. Previous research has inv ...
2017Covering the last mile in the Brazilian Amazon - The role of knowledge -sharing strategies in the provision of universal electricity access
Remote areas are becoming a topic of increasing international interest as they can provide insights in the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. Being geographically isolated and distant from different services (e.g. energy, health and educa ...
