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...
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...
Environmental monitoring and assessment

Remote sensing (RS) data is extensively used in the observation and management of surface water and the detection of water bodies for studying ecological and hydrological processes. Small waterbodies are often neglected because of their tiny presence...
Landslides constitute a significant geological hazard in China, particularly in high-altitude regions like the Himalayas, where the challenging environmental conditions impede field surveys. This research utilizes the IOE model to refine non-landslid...
BACKGROUND: Cooling towers containing Legionella spp are a high-risk source of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks. Manually locating cooling towers from aerial imagery during outbreak investigations requires expertise, is labour intensive, and can be pr...
IMPORTANCE: Built environment plays an important role in development of cardiovascular disease. Large scale, pragmatic evaluation of built environment has been limited owing to scarce data and inconsistent data quality.
Chlorophyll a (Chl-a) in lakes serves as an effective marker for assessing algal biomass and the nutritional level of lakes, and its observation is feasible through remote sensing methods. HJ-1 (Huanjing-1) satellite, deployed in 2008, incorporates a...
