Can reconstructed land surface temperature data from space predict a West Nile Virus outbreak?
(2017)Temperature is one of the main drivers of ecological processes. The availability of temporally and spatially continuous temperature time series is crucial in different research and application fields, such as epidemiology ... -
Effects of satellite spatial resolution on gross primary productivity estimation through light use efficiency modeling
(2018)Terrestrial Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) describes the total amount of CO2 assimilated by plants in an ecosystem during photosynthesis and is considered the largest flux component of the global carbon cycle. One of the ... -
Geoinformatic Intelligence Methodologies for Drought Spatiotemporal Variability in Greece
(2012)One of the most important hazards in terms of cost, frequency of occurrence and impact on humans is drought. Drought indices are estimations of precipitation shortage and water supply deficit. Satellite drought indices are ... -
MODIS PRI performance to track Light Use Efficiency of a Mediterranean coniferous forest: Determinants, restrictions and the role of LUE range
(2021)The relationship between the Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) and Light Use Efficiency (LUE) is well established at leaf and small canopy scales, but upscaling to ecosystem level is still a challenge. Only few studies ... -
A new remote sensing procedure for the estimation of crop water requirements
(2015)The objective of this work is the development of a new approach for the estimation of water requirements for the most important crops located at Karla Watershed, central Greece. Satellite-based energy balance for mapping ... -
A spatial downscaling procedure of MODIS derived actual evapotranspiration using Landsat images at central Greece
(2013)In this study, the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) was used to derive daily actual evapotranspiration (ETa) distributions from Landsat and MODIS images separately. The study area is the Lake Karla basin ... -
Statistical analysis for satellite-index-based insurance to define damaged pasture thresholds
(2019)Vegetation indices based on satellite images, such as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), have been used in countries like the USA, Canada and Spain for damaged pasture and forage insurance over the last few ... -
Study of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Oceanographic Parameters and Their Relationship to Holothuria Species Abundance in a Marine Protected Area of the Mediterranean Using Satellite Imagery
(2022)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are designated to protect marine ecosystems and, among other things, to monitor climate variability, which in turn affects aquatic species. The aim of this study is to examine the contribution ...
