In the last few decades, researchers have developed a plethora of hyperspectral Earth
Observation (EO) remote sensing techniques, analysis and applications. While …

Human activities and climate change constitute the contemporary catalyst for natural
processes and their impacts, ie, geo-environmental hazards. Globally, natural catastrophic …

A major goal of remote sensing is the development of generalizable algorithms to repeatedly
and accurately map ecosystem properties across space and time. Imaging spectroscopy has …

The area of North American forests affected by gypsy moth defoliation continues to expand
despite efforts to slow the spread. With the increased area of infestation, ecological …

Defoliation by insect herbivores can be a persistent disturbance affecting ecosystem
functioning. We developed an approach to map canopy defoliation due to gypsy moth based …

The emerging challenges in preserving and managing forest ecosystems are multiscale in
terms of space and time, and therefore require spatially and temporally contiguous …

Insect-induced tree mortality can cause substantial timber and carbon losses in many
regions of the world. There is a critical need to forecast tree mortality to guide forest …

Spatial prediction of photosynthesis requires an understanding of how foliage nitrogen (N)
and phosphorus (P) regulate this process and the relationship between these elements and …

Forests are an integral part of natural ecosystems, providing numerous ecological,
economic, social, and cultural services (Boyd et al. 2013; Chen et al. 2015a). For example …

Efforts to predict water quality often rely heavily on static landuse/land-cover (LULC)
classifications derived from remote sensing imagery. However, LULC classifications are …
