The experiences gathered during the past 30 years support the operational use of irrigation
scheduling based on frequent multi-spectral image data. Currently, the operational use of …

The proper assessment of evapotranspiration and soil moisture content are fundamental in
food security research, land management, pollution detection, nutrient flows,(wild-) fire …

Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing of land-surface temperature (LST) provides valuable
information about the sub-surface moisture status required for estimating evapotranspiration …

The occurrence of water shortages ascribed to projected climate change, especially in the
Mediterranean region, fosters the interest in remote sensing (RS) applications to optimize …

Half of the world food production originates from irrigated and drained soils. Advanced soil
