A neural network (NN) technique to fill gaps in satellite data is introduced, linking satellite-derived fields of interest with other satellites and in situ physical observations. Satellite-derived "ocean color" (OC) data are used in this study becau...
Low-and middle-income countries experience 77% of the world's premature deaths caused by non-communicable diseases, and their underlying health determinant data are often scarce and inaccurate. Improving satellite imagery data literacy worldwide is a...
A river plume indicates the dispersion and transport path of pollutants from runoff, monitoring the spatiotemporal variation of river plume distribution from space is crucial for marine environmental governance. This study focuses on the Pearl River ...
Due to extensive anthropogenic activities in coastal areas and rivers connected to the seas, effective and timely monitoring the sea water quality (SWQ) is crucial for maintaining ecosystem health. SWQ monitoring involves examining the chemical, phys...
Brick kilns are a major source of air pollution in Pakistan, with many operating without regulation. A key challenge in Pakistan and across the Indo-Gangetic Plain is the limited air quality monitoring and lack of transparent data on pollution source...
