Landslides are geomorphological processes that shape the landscapes of all continents,
dismantling mountains and contributing sediments to the river networks. Caused by …

We explore and review the value of soil moisture measurements in vadose zone hydrology
with a focus on the field and catchment scales. This review is motivated by the increasing …

We propose a new architecture based on a fully connected feed-forward Artificial Neural
Network (ANN) model to estimate surface soil moisture from satellite images on a large …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

We review various recent approaches to making digital soil maps based on geographic
information systems (GIS) data layers, note some commonalities and propose a generic …

The present article is an introductory paper in this special issue on synthetic aperture radar
(SAR). A short review is presented on the recent trend and development of SAR and related …

The sensitivity of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to soil moisture is well established,
however, the retrieval of soil moisture from SAR is confounded by the effects of surface …

The satellite based passive (radiometer) and active (radar) microwave sensors enhanced
our ability to retrieve soil moisture at global scales. It has been almost four decades since …

Synthetic Aperture Radar has shown its large potential for retrieving soil moisture maps at
regional scales. However, since the backscattered signal is determined by several surface …

An evolving, living organic/inorganic covering, soil is in dynamic equilibrium with the
atmosphere above, the biosphere within, and the geology below. It acts as an anchor for …
