The tidal areas of the oceans are important transition zones between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. In contrast to the non-marine surface of the earth, access to the tidal lands such as the Wadden Sea along the North Sea coast is often difficult. For this reason, remote sensing offers important monitoring tools. In this study, a new change detection approach is presented, adapted to the Wad...

In the past, different approaches for automated landslide identification based on multispectral satellite remote sensing were developed to focus on the analysis of the spatial distribution of landslide occurrences related to distinct triggering events. However, many regions, including southern Kyrgyzstan, experience ongoing process activity requiring continual multi-temporal analysis. For this ...

The contribution of dual-polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to optical data for the accuracy of land use classification is investigated. For this purpose, different image fusion algorithms are implemented to achieve spatially improved images while preserving the spectral information. To compare the performance of the fusion techniques, both the microwave X-band dual-polarized TerraSAR-X d...
