Da Silva Fanzeres, Débora (author)This study aimed to generate accurate evapotranspiration (ETA) data for the Mountain Aquifer region using the SEBAL model in Google Earth Engine (GEE) with a resolution of 30 m. The analysis provided valuable insights into evapotranspiration's spatial and temporal dynamics and its relationship with land use characteristics. Significant spatial...student report 2023

van der Roest, E. (author), Voeten, Joris G.W.F. (author), Cirkel, Dirk Gijsbert (author)With an increasing demand for climate resiliency, water sensitivity, nature inclusiveness and energy efficiency in dense urban environments, the call for layered and multifunctional use of rooftops is rising. Vegetated roofs combined with Photo-Voltaic (PV) installations are an example of multifunctional and more effective use of available...journal article 2023

Bafti, Alireza Ghaderi (author), Ahmadi, Arman (author), Abbasi, A. (author), Kamangir, Hamid (author), Jamali, Sadegh (author), Hashemi, Hossein (author)Actual evapotranspiration (ET<sub>a</sub>) plays a crucial role in the water and energy cycles of the earth. An accurate estimate of the ET<sub>a</sub> is essential for management of the water resources, agriculture, and irrigation, as well as research on atmospheric variations. Despite the importance of accurate ET<sub>a</sub> values,...journal article 2023

Keys, Patrick W. (author), Warrier, Rekha (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author), Galvin, Kathleen A. (author), Boone, Randall B. (author)Achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is contingent on understanding the potential interactions among human and natural systems. In Kenya, the goal of conserving and expanding forest cover to achieve SDG 15 “Life on Land” may be related to other SDGs because it plays a role in regulating some aspects of Kenyan...journal article 2022

Bennour, Ali (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Zheng, Chaolei (author), Zeng, Yelong (author), Barnieh, Beatrice Asenso (author), Jiang, Min (author)Model calibration and validation are challenging in poorly gauged basins. We developed and applied a new approach to calibrate hydrological models using distributed geospatial remote sensing data. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was calibrated using only twelve months of remote sensing data on actual evapotranspiration (ETa)...journal article 2022

Mueller, Marlin M. (author), Dubois, Clémence (author), Jagdhuber, Thomas (author), Hellwig, Florian M. (author), Pathe, Carsten (author), Schmullius, Christiane (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author)Forests’ ecosystems are an essential part of the global carbon cycle with vast carbon storage potential. These systems are currently under external pressures showing increasing change due to climate change. A better understanding of the biophysical properties of forests is, therefore, of paramount importance for research and monitoring...journal article 2022

Beenen, Kathelijne (author)Due to increasing global population and increasing food demand, crop yield needs to be improved to forestall potential food shortages. To achieve optimal crop yield, irrigation is applied to replace water losses due to evapotranspiration (ET). Information on ET should be applied to optimize water allocations and water use. In this study, the...master thesis 2020

Guzmán Sáenz, Francisco (author)The construction, operation and maintenance of buildings consume more than 40% of primary energy in most countries. Out of this 40%, a large portion is related to the operational phase involving heat losses through a buildings envelope. To reduce this loss, several materials have been developed to reduce the thermal transmittance through a...master thesis 2019

El Ghandour, F.E. (author), Alfieri, S.M. (author), Houali, Youssef (author), Habib, Adnane (author), Akdim, Nadia (author), Labbassi, Kamal (author), Menenti, M. (author)This study on a large irrigation scheme in Morocco addressed a two-fold question: (a) does the local water management authority adapt water releases to atmospheric water demand ET<sub>0</sub>-P? and (b) does crop actual evapotranspiration respond to inter- and intra-annual variability in water releases? We have evaluated the inter-annual...journal article 2019

da Motta Paca, V.H. (author), Espinoza-Dávalos, Gonzalo E. (author), Hessels, T.M. (author), Moreira, Daniel Medeiros (author), Comair, Georges F. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)Actual evapotranspiration (ET) is a major component of the water balance. While several international flux measurement programs have been executed in the tropical rain forest of the Amazon, those measurements represent the evaporative process at a few selected sites only. The aim of this study is to obtain the spatial distribution of ET,...journal article 2019

Blatchford, Megan Leigh (author), Karimi, Poolad (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author), Nouri, Hamideh (author)Crop water productivity (CWP) has become a recognised indicator in assessing the state of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6.4—to substantially increase water use efficiency. This indicator, while useful at a global scale, is not comprehensive at a local scale. To fill this gap, this research proposes a CWP framework, that takes advantage...journal article 2018

(author)In this paper, evapotranspiration (ET) and leaf area index (LAI) were used to calibrate the SWAT model, whereas remotely sensed precipitation and other climatic parameters were used as forcing data for the 6300 km2 Day Basin, a tributary of the Red River in Vietnam. The efficacy of the Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SUFI-2) parameter...journal article 2018

Calera, Alfonso (author), Campos, Isidro (author), Osann, Anna (author), D’Urso, Guido (author), Menenti, M. (author)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 dense time series of multispectral imagery at high spatial resolution makes monitoring of crop biophysical parameters feasible, capturing crop water use across...review 2017

Faivre, R.D. (author), Colin, Jérôme (author), Menenti, M. (author)The parameterization of heat transfer based on remote sensing data, and the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) scheme to retrieve turbulent heat fluxes, already proved to be very appropriate for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) over homogeneous land surfaces. However, the use of such a method over heterogeneous landscapes (e.g., semi-arid...journal article 2017

Kiptala, J.K. (author)For integrated water resources management both blue and green water resources in a river basin and their spatial and temporal distribution have to be considered. This is because green and blue water uses are interdependent. In sub-Saharan Africa, the upper landscapes are often dominated by rainfed and supplementary irrigated agriculture that...doctoral thesis 2016
