Sea ice mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in the melt season poses challenges, due to wet snow and melt ponds complicating sea ice type separability. To address this, we analyzed fully polarimetric (FP) and simulated compact polarimetric (CP) C- (RADARSAT-2) and L- (ALOS-2 PALSAR-2) band SAR, in the 2018 melt season in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, for stage-wise separation of first year ice (FYI) and multiyear ice (MYI). SAR scenes at both near- (19.1–28.3°) and far- (35.8–42.1°) range incidence angles and coincident high-resolution optical scenes were used to assess the impact of surface melt ponds on separability within a landfast ice zone of diverse ice thickness. C-band provided better separability between FYI and MYI during pond onset, while L-band was superior during pond drainage due to MYI volumetric scattering. CP parameters matched FP performance across the melt season. HH and HV, commonly offered in ScanSAR mode for both frequencies, presented good separability during pond onset and drainage. Using both C-band and L-band SAR along with constraining incidence angle ranges, enhances sea ice type identification and separability. Our results can support ice type classification and seasonal stage detection for climate studies and enhance existing frameworks for ice motion vector retrievals.

The purpose of this research was to distinguish and estimate natural forest areas at Paraná, Brazil. Forest plantations (Silviculture) and natural forests have high annual vegetative vigor, as well as agricultural areas in the periods of agricultural harvests, which can bring classification errors between these classes of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC), these classes have similar spectral signatures, but have a distinct texture that can be separated in the supervised classification process, with the joining of object and pixel-to-pixel classification method approaches. Thus, image segmentation techniques through Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) and Machine Learning (ML) made forest mapping possible over a large territorial extension. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform was used to calculate the vegetation indices (VIs) and Spectral Mixture Analysis (SMA) fraction spectral from Sentinel-2 images, and the creation of homogeneous spectrally shaped regions under supervised classification of phytoecological regions and mesoregions. The overall precision obtained in the mappings resulted in 0.94 Kappa Index (KI) and 96% of Overall Accuracy (OA), which indicates a high performance in large-scale forest mapping. The proposed dataset, source codes and trained models are available on Github (https://github.com/Cechim/simepar-brazil/), creating opportunities for further ad vances in the field.

Climate change and rapid urbanization have significant impact on green spaces and natural resources in African countries. To investigate this impact in the city of Marrakech, this study develops remote-sensing data to monitor changes in land cover and land use from 1990 to 2020. Results show almost 35% diminution of vegetation cover over the investigation period. In 1990, the city of Marrakech had a vegetation cover of 4.2 km2, which fell to 2.7 km2 in 2020. The main change occurred between 1990 and 2000 with a decrease of 13.7%, which is essentially due to the increase in build-up areas, related to the rapid growth of the city’s population. This evolution in land cover affects the urban environment negatively including air quality and temperature regulation. This research provides a better understanding of changing trends, confirms the importance of using satellite imagery to monitor vegetation cover in urban settings, helps determine efficient environmental management, and affects successful green infrastructure policy and planning, thereby allowing for improved adaptation and mitigation to climate change.
