🌿 New research alert from #Embed2Scale ‼️

💡 A new study by our partners at the University of Zurich demonstrates how super-resolution techniques using Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2 data can significantly enhance existing biomass maps—offering 10m resolution estimates that are both more accurate and less biased.

Small Waterbodies Of Large Conservation Concern - Towards An Integrated Approach To More Accurately Measuring Surface Water Dynamics
--
doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2025 <-- shared paper
--
“HIGHLIGHTS
• Hydrologic models were used to assess remotely sensed surface water estimates.
• The accuracy of satellite surface water estimates diminished for waterbodies < 2 ha.
• Vegetation reduces accuracy of surface water detection, especially during wet years..."

Inferring River Discharge From Google Earth Images - Critical Flow Theory Can Predict River Discharge Based On The Spacing Of Standing Waves Captured By Google Earth Images
--

“… KEY POINTS:
• Standing waves in rivers indicate unique hydraulic conditions that allow depth and velocity to be inferred from the spacing of the waves
• Critical flow theory can be used to calculate discharge based on measurements of wavelength and width made using readily available images
• Discharges estimated via the critical flow approach for 82 images agreed closely with discharges recorded at gaging stations (R² = 0.98)…”

ALOS-2 L Band SAR now available through Alaska Satellite Facility
“Previously, JAXA data weren’t freely available to outside scientists, so this agreement really, really opens things up,” said Dr. Gerald Bawden, the program scientist for ASF DAAC and the NISAR mission. “By having ASF distribute the data, NASA is able to provide this valuable dataset to the community.
