Tram Chim National Park in Southern Vietnam is a wetland area included in the system of specially protected natural areas (SPNA). For the purposes of land monitoring, we studied Landsat-5 and Sentinel-2B images obtained in 1991, 2006 and 2019. The methods of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and water objects – normalized difference water index (NDWI) were used to estimate the vegetation in National Park. The allocated land is classifi ed by the maximum likelihood method in ENVI 5.3 into categories. For each image, a statistical analysis of the land after classifi cation was performed. Between 1991 and 2019, land changes occurred in about 57 % of the Tram Chim National Park total area. As a result, the wetland area has signifi cantly reduced there due to climate change. However, the area of Melaleuca forests in Tram Chim National Park has increased due to the effi ciency of reforestation in protected areas. Melaleuca forests are also being restored.

In this study, a modelling approach for the estimation/prediction of wheat yield based on Sentinel-2 data is presented. Model development was accomplished through a two-step process: firstly, the capacity of Sentinel-2 vegetation indices (VIs) to follow plant ecophysiological parameters was established through measurements in a pilot field and secondly, the results of the first step were extended/evaluated in 31 fields, during two growing periods, to increase the applicability range and robustness of the models. Modelling results were examined against yield data collected by a combine harvester equipped with a yield-monitoring system. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) were examined as plant signals and combined with Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and/or Normalized Multiband Drought Index (NMDI) during the growth period or before sowing, as water and soil signals, respectively. The best performing model involved the EVI integral for the 20 April–31 May period as a plant signal and NMDI on 29 April and before sowing as water and soil signals, respectively (R2 = 0.629, RMSE = 538). However, model versions with a single date and maximum seasonal VIs values as a plant signal, performed almost equally well. Since the maximum seasonal VIs values occurred during the last ten days of April, these model versions are suitable for yield prediction.

The study examines how LANDSAT images can be used to monitor inland surface water quality effectively by using correlations between various indicators. Wigry lake (area 21.7 km2) was selected for the study as an example. The study uses images acquired in the years 1990–2016. Analysis was performed on data from 35 months and seven water condition indicators were analyzed: turbidity, Secchi disc depth, Dissolved Organic Material (DOM), chlorophyll-a, Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The analysis of results also took into consideration the main relationships described by the water circulation cycle. Based on the analysis of all indicators, clear trends describing a systematic improvement of water quality in Lake Wigry were observed.

Este artigo trata de experimentos usando composições de índices físicos NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index), NDBI (Normalized Difference Built-Up Index), para avaliar a precisão temática do classificador Máxima Verossimilhança (MAXVER) usando exatidão global, índice kappa e teste Z. A área de estudo foi o entorno da Lagoa Olho D’Água localizada em Jaboatão dos Guararapes-PE. Foram usadas duas cenas TM LANDSAT-5, órbita-ponto 214-066, de 17/03/20111 e 29/09/2011, do DGI-INPE (Divisão de Geração de Imagens do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais), e todo o processamento realizado no SPRING 5.0.6. Os resultados indicam que apenas usando índices físicos substituindo composições RGB, a acurácia temática é muito degradada. A classificação MAXVER da composição NDBI-TM4-TM-3 e IHS obtiveram bons resultados em acurácia temática, demonstrando que o método de combinações de índices físicos e composições RGB podem ser usados para melhorar os resultados da classificação MAXVER.

The years 1997/1998 and 2015/2016 saw the worst El Niño occurrence in human history. The occurrence of El Niño causes extreme temperature events which are higher than usual, drought and prolonged drought. The incident caused a decline in the ability of plants in carrying out the process of photosynthesis. This causes the carbon dioxide content to be higher than normal. Studies on the effects of El Niño and its degree of strength are still under-studied especially by researchers in the tropics. This study uses remote sensing technology that can provide spatial information. The first step of remote sensing data needs to go through the pre-process before building the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) maps. Next this study will identify the relationship between Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) with Application Remote Sensing in The Study Of El Niño Extreme Effect 1997/1998 and 2015/2016 On Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI)NDWI and NDWI landscape indices. Next will make a comparison, statistical and spatial information space between NDWI and NDVI for each year 1997/1998 and 2015/2016. This study is very important in providing spatial information to those responsible in preparing measures in reducing the impact of El Niño.

SUMMARYSchistosomiasis control in China has, in general, been very successful during the past several decades. However, the rebounding of the epidemic situation in some areas in recent years raises concerns about a sustainable control strategy of which locating active transmission sites (ATS) is a necessary first step. This study presents a systematic approach for locating schistosomiasis ATS by combining the approaches of identifying high risk regions for schisotosmiasis and extracting snail habitats. Environmental, topographical, and human behavioural factors were included in the model. Four significant high-risk regions were detected and 6 ATS were located. We used the normalized difference water index (NDWI) combined with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to extract snail habitats, and the pointwise ‘P-value surface’ approach to test statistical significance of predicted disease risk. We found complicated non-linear relationships between predictors and schistosomiasis risk, which might result in serious biases if data were not properly treated. We also found that the associations were related to spatial scales, indicating that a well-designed series of studies were needed to relate the disease risk with predictors across various study scales. Our approach provides a useful tool, especially in the field of vector-borne or environment-related diseases.

Abstract. The Ciénaga Grande, Santa Marta is the largest and most diverse ecosystem of its kind in Colombia. Its primary function is acting as a filter for the organic carbon cycle. Recently, this place has been suffering disruptions due to the anthropic activities taking place in its surroundings. The present study, the changes in the surface of Ciénaga Grande, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia between 2013 and 2018 were determined using semiautomatic detection methods with high resolution data from remote sensors (Landsat 8). The zone of studies was classified in six kinds of surfaces: 1) artificial territories, 2) agricultural territories, 3) forests and semi-natural areas, 4) wet areas, 5) deep water surfaces & 6) wich is related to clouds as a masking method. Random Forest classifiers were utilized and the Feed For Ward multilayer perceptron neuronal network (ANN) was simultaneously assessed. The training stage for both methods was performed with 300 samples, distributed in equal quantities, over each coverage class. The semi-automatic classification was carried out with an annual frequency, but the monitoring was carried out throughout the analysis period through the performance of three indicators Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). It was found from the confusion matrix that the Random Forest method more accurately classified four classes while Neural Networks Analysis (NNA) just three. Finally, taking the Random Forest results into account, it was found that the agricultural expansion increased from 7% to 9% and the urban zone increased from 20% to 30% of the total area. As well as a decrease of damp areas from 27% to 12% and forests from 4% to 3% of the total area of study.

Mapping short-term wetland vegetation and water storage changes is valuable for monitoring the biogeochemical processes of wetland systems. Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve is a dynamic freshwater estuary which experiences intermittent changes in water level over the course of a year. Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) are useful tools in monitoring changes as they are rapidly deployed, repeatable, and high-resolution. In this study, commercial quadcopters were paired with a red/green/near-infrared MAPIR Survey 3W camera to produce normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference water index (NDWI) maps to observe short-term changes at OWC. Orthomosaics were produced for flights on 8 days throughout 2018 and early 2019. The orthomosaics were calibrated to bottom-of-atmosphere reflectance using the Empirical Line Correction method, after which NDVI and NDWI maps were created. The NDVI maps allowed vegetation extent and density changes over time and for National Estuarine Reserve System (NERRS) Classification Codes to be applied to zones of interest. NDWI provided water extent at different water levels and when paired with LiDAR and bathymetric data yielded water volume and residence time estimates.

Kebakaran lahan gambut merupakan peristiwa yang sulit diprediksi perilakunya. Karakteristik tanah gambut yang kompleks dan faktor-faktor alam lain seperti arah angin, status vegetasi, dan kandungan air membuat kasus ini menjadi salah satu kasus menarik yang masih menjadi objek penelitian yang belum tuntas hingga saat ini. Ketika memasuki musim kemarau kondisi kadar air di dalam tanah gambut akan semakin berkurang, maka potensi terjadinya kebakaran akan semakin tinggi. Pada studi ini dilakukan analisis faktor penyebab kebakaran dengan area cakupan yang luas melalui satelit Sentinel-2. Citra satelit yang diperoleh nantinya akan diolah oleh machine learning untuk memprediksi penyebaran api. Hasil literatur yang telah dilakukan diperoleh bahwa Ground Water Level (GWL), kematangan gambut, suhu, curah hujan dan kelembaban, serta kerapatan vegetasi dapat diidentifikasi melalui perhitungan indeks. Indeks yang digunakan diantaranya indeks Differenced Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (dNDVI) dan Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) yang diolah dengan algoritma machine learning metode Random Forest memilki akurasi mencapai 96%.

U radu su, na primjeru poplave koja je u svibnju 2014. godine zadesila istočnu Hrvatsku, uspoređene tri metode kartiranja i procjene opsega poplavljenog područja: metoda analize refleksije s površine u blisko infracrvenom (IC) dijelu spektra (jednokanalna metoda) te metode vegetacijskog indeksa NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) i vodenog indeksa NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index). Metode kao ulazne podatke koriste snimke snimljene pasivnim senzorom ugrađenim na satelitsku platformu Landsat 8. Analizirane su četiri snimke; snimljene su prije (jedna snimka), tijekom (jedna snimka) i nakon poplave (dvije snimke). Procjena temeljena na jednokanalnoj metodi rezultirala je površinom manjom od površina procijenjenih primjenom višekanalnim metodama. Rezultati se mogu objasniti kompleksnošću spektralnog potpisa plitkih poplavnih voda s visokim udjelom suspendiranog nanosa koji će utjecati na refleksiju takvih površina u blisko IC dijelu spektra i klasificirati ih kao nevodene površine. S druge strane, kombiniranjem različitih spektralnih kanala u višekanalnim metodama kompenzira se utjecaj suspendiranog nanosa na refleksiju takvih voda te je klasifikacija na vodene i nevodene površine preciznija.
