A Deep-Learning Workflow for CORONA-Based Historical Land Use Classifications

Posted on

Historical satellite imagery lacks efficient methods for automated land use mapping, particularly when working with CORONA satellite data from the Cold War era. These high-resolution images from the 1960s offer valuable insights into historic land use conditions, but require intensive preprocessing and lack standardized methods for analysis. This article presents an integrated and systematic workflow […]

The biogeophysical impacts of land cover change on climate extremes in the Arctic and Boreal regions

Posted on

A new paper in Environmental Research Letters reveals how recent land-cover shifts across the Arctic–Boreal region are already cooling daily high-temperature extremes yet intensifying multi-day drought risk—insights gained by driving CESM2 with 30 m satellite maps. The study, led by Shuai Li with Di Yang and colleagues, quantifies albedo-driven changes of up to 0.6 °C […]
