Abstract Human activity is a major driver of change and has contributed to many the challenges we face today. Detailed information about human population distribution fundamental use freely available, high-resolution, gridded datasets on global as source such increasing. However, there little research guide users in dataset choice. This study evaluates five most commonly used against high-resolution Swedish pixel level. We show that which employ more complex modeling techniques exhibit lower...
Yield estimates and yield gap analysis are important for identifying poor agricultural productivity. Remote sensing holds great promise measuring thus determining gaps. Farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) commonly characterized by small field size, intercropping, different crop species with similar phenologies, sometimes high cloud frequency during the growing season, all of which pose real challenges to remote sensing. Here, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system based on a...
Abstract Knowledge about the past, current and future distribution of human population is fundamental for tackling many global challenges. Censuses are used to collect information within a specified spatial unit. The units usually arbitrarily defined their numbers, size shape tend change over time. These issues make comparisons between areas countries difficult. We have in related work proposed that lit area derived from nighttime lights, weighted by its intensity can be analyse...
The aim of this paper is to combine remote sensing data with geo-coded household survey in order measure the impact different socio-economic and biophysical factors on maize yields. We use multilevel linear regression model village mean yield per year as a function NDVI, commercialization, pluriactivity distance market. draw seven years panel African smallholders, drawn from three rounds collection over twelve-year period 56 villages six countries combined time-series analysis NDVI MODIS...
The traditional ways of measuring global sustainable development and economic schemes their progress suffer from a number serious shortcomings. Remote sensing specifically nighttime light has become popular supplement to official statistics by providing an objective measure human settlement that can be used as proxy for population measures. With the increased availability use Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) data in social science, it played...
Site-specific land management practice taking into account variability in maize yield gaps (the difference between yields the 90th percentiles and other on smallholder farmers’ fields) could improve resource use efficiency enhance yields. However, applicability of is constrained by inability to identify patterns utilization target application resources more responsive fields. The study focus was map fields based identified spatial arrangements differentiated distance from homestead...
For well over a century, migration researchers have recognized the lack of adequate distance measures to be key obstacle for advancing understanding internal migration. The problem arises from convention spatially defining as crossing administrative borders. Because regions vary in size, shape, and settlement patterns, it is difficult tell how far movers go, raising doubts about generalizability research field. This article shows that satellite data on nighttime lights can used infer...
Abstract It has been 10 years since the I ndian O cean T sunami caused serious damage to coastal areas in S outh and outheast A sia. The effects on vegetation human settlements affected were enormous. This study presents results of an analysis estimating long‐term recovery using two longitudinal remotely sensed dataset: 1. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer enhanced index ( MODIS EVI ), a dataset accounting for change landscape vegetation; 2. Defense Meteorological Satellite...
