Estimating Mangrove Biophysical Variables Using WorldView-2 Satellite Data: Rapid Creek, Northern Territory, Australia

Mangroves are one of the most productive coastal communities in the world. Although we acknowledge the significance of ecosystems, mangroves are under natural and anthropogenic pressures at various scales. Therefore, understanding biophysical variations of mangrove forests is important. An extensive field survey is impossible within mangroves. WorldView-2 multi-spectral images having a 2-m spat...

The Northern Territory, Australia.

THE NORTHERN TERRITORY Situated in the centre of Australia, the Northern Territory is the third largest state in Australia and is roughly the size of France, Spain and Italy combined (figures 1 and 2). It has a unique environment that ranges from arid desert down south to tropical regions on the coast in the north. The Northern Territory is often considered the quintessential Australian outback...

Quantization of Pinus forest biophysical parameters using WorldView-2

Numerous studies have used various types of remotely sensed data to estimate forest biomass-related parameters such as basal area, volume, biomass, stocking etc. Some sensors have high spectral resolution such as ASTER or MODIS, but low spatial resolution whereas others have high spatial resolution, but low spectral information, such as IKONOS and QuickBird. Digital Globe’s WorldView-2 provides...
