Bridging the gap between technology and policy: An assessment on how to report progress in efficient water use in agriculture by means of remote sensing data

Water use has increased with double the rate of population growth in the twentieth century. Combined with changing diets due to increased global economic wealth, almost 50 per cent more food needs to be produced to meet demand, implying that fresh water availability will face even greater stress. At the same time, climate change is predicted to...

Comparison of Cloud Droplet Number Concentrations derived from Remote Sensing Observations and Köhler Theory based Activation Parameterizations

In the present research, the activation parameterization method introduced by Nenes and Seinfeld (2003) was compared and evaluated to a remote sensing-based method by Rusli, Donovan & Russchenberg (2017) for determining the cloud drop number concentration. Both methods have fundamentally different approaches for indirectly determining the...

Comparing WWII aerial photographs to Sentinel-2 data

During World War II West Papua was the scene of war between the Axis and the Allies. In this case, it was the Japanese on one side Australian and US forces on the other. After the war a lot of equipment was left in the jungle and because of the low population density on the island some material can still be found to this day. Planes and vehicles...

Estimating the Groundwater Recharge of the Chindwin and Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar Using Remote Sensing Based Water Accounting (WA+)

Sustainable land and water management in Myanmar are desired since the country is rapidly changing. An analysis of the discharge data and an estimation on the groundwater recharge are desired to obtain this. In this paper, the discharge data of seven gauge stations in the Irrawaddy river are analyzed. Also, a method is described to estimate the...
