Land cover is a critical variable in epidemiology and can be characterized remotely. A framework is used to describe both the links between land cover and radiation recorded in a remotely sensed image, and the links between land cover and the disease carried by vectors. The framework is then used to explore the issues involved when moving from remotely sensed imagery to land cover and then to v...

Our long term goal in this and related projects is to maximize the amount of information regarding river flow and morphology that can be deduced from remotely sensed information. In this specific project, our goal is to test and improve the river bathymetry prediction methods developed in previous ONR-funded work. This goal involves further development on computational methods as well as explor...

the use of satellite data in an estimation of air temperature (ta) near the earth’s surface has turned into an effective way for a large area of high spatial and temporal resolution. throughout the present study, artificial neural network (ann) as well as m5 model tree were employed to estimate ta in khuzestan province (south west of iran), using satellite remotely sensed land surface temperatu...
