[EN] Retrieval of land surface temperature (LST) from satellite data allows to estimate the surface urban heat island (SUHI) as the difference between the LST obtained in the urban area and the LST of its surroundings. ...
[EN] We present a deep learning model, CH4Net, for automated monitoring of methane super-emitters from Sentinel-2 data. When trained on images of 23 methane super-emitter locations from 2017-2020 and evaluated on images ...
[EN] Remote sensing emerges as an important tool for the detection of methane plumes emitted by so-called point sources, which are common in the energy sector (e.g., oil and gas extraction and coal mining activities). In ...
