An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), popularly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a
human pilot aboard. Recent developments in sensor technology and navigation systems …

Detailed map** of mineral phases at centimeter scale can be useful for geological
investigation, including resource exploration. This work reviews case histories of ground …

The abundance and distribution of plastic debris in natural waters is largely unknown due to
limited comprehensive monitoring. Here, optical properties of dry and wet marine-harvested …

Here, we present a proof-of-concept on remote sensing of ocean plastics using airborne
shortwave infrared (SWIR) imagery. We captured red, green, and blue (RGB) and …

A wide body of literature suggests that geological gas emissions from Earth's degassing are
a major methane (CH4) source to the atmosphere. These emissions are from gas-oil seeps …

Combating the imminent environmental problems associated with plastic litter requires a
synergy of monitoring strategies, clean-up efforts, policymaking and interdisciplinary …

The monitoring of soil contamination deriving from oil and gas industry remains difficult in
vegetated areas. Over the last decade, optical remote sensing has proved helpful for this …

The study of urban resilience (UR) in the context of sustainable development (SD) is a
relatively new chapter, so we give it our full attention in this article. We seek to link UR and …

Hydrocarbon exploration requires integration and updating of multi-source geo-scientific
data for gathering knowledge of subsurface oil and gas bearing geological traps. Multi …

Geologists have been instrumental in sha** Earth observation satellite missions; likewise,
geology has been the subject of many remote sensing studies [1]. Applications of optical …
