  • Forest biomass retrieval approaches from earth observation in different biomes 
    Rodriguez-Veiga, Pedro; Quegan, Shaun; Carreiras, Joao; Persson, Henrik J.; Fransson, Johan E.S.; Hoscilo, Agata; Ziolkowski, Dariusz; Sterenczak, Krzysztof; Lohberger, Sandra; Stangel, Matthias; Berninger, Anna; Siegert, Florian; Avitabile, Valerio; Herold, Martin; Mermoz, Stéphane; Bouvet, Alexandre; Le Toan, Thuy; Carvalhais, Nuno; Santoro, Maurizio; Cartus, Oliver; Rauste, Yrjö; Mathieu, Renaud; Asner, Gregory P.; Thiel, Christian; Pathe, Carsten; Schmullius, Chris; Seifert, Frank Martin; Tansey, Kevin; Balzter, Heiko (Elsevier, 2019-05)
    The amount and spatial distribution of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) were estimated using a range of regionally developed methods using Earth Observation data for Poland, Sweden and regions in Indonesia (Kalimantan), ...
  • Fuelwood extraction intensity drives compensatory regrowth in African savanna communal lands 
    Mograbi, Penelope J.; Witkowski, Ed T.F.; Erasmus, Barend Frederik Nel; Asner, Gregory P.; Fisher, Jolene T.; Mathieu, Renaud; Wessels, K.J. (Konrad) (Wiley, 2019-01)
    Woody biomass remains the primary energy source for domestic use in the developing world, raising concerns about woodland sustainability. Yet woodland regenerative capacity and the adaptive response of harvesters to localised ...
  • Mapping and monitoring fractional woody vegetation cover in the arid savannas of Namibia using LiDAR training data, machine learning, and ALOS PALSAR data 
    Wessels, Konrad; Mathieu, Renaud; Knox, Nichola; Main, Russell; Naidoo, Laven; Steenkamp, Karen (MDPI Publishing, 2019-11-11)
    Namibia is a very arid country, which has experienced significant bush encroachment and associated decreased livestock productivity. Therefore, it is essential to monitor bush encroachment and widespread debushing ...
  • Observations of a middle atmosphere thermal structure over Durban using a ground-based Rayleigh LIDAR and satellite data 
    Mbatha, Nkanyiso; Sivakumar, Venkataraman; Bencherif, Hassan; Malinga, Sandile B.; Pillay, Sadhasivan R.; Moorgawa, Ashokabose; Michaelis, Max M. (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2012-01-12)
    Studying the middle atmospheric thermal structure over southern Africa is an important activity to improve the understanding of atmospheric dynamics of this region. Observations of a middle atmosphere thermal structure ...
  • Savannah woody structure modelling and mapping using multi-frequency (X-, C- and L-band) synthetic aperture radar data 
    Naidoo, Laven; Mathieu, Renaud; Main, Russell; Kleynhans, Waldo; Wessels, K.J. (Konrad); Asner, Gregory P.; Leblon, Brigitte (Elsevier, 2015-07)
    Structural parameters of the woody component in African savannahs provide estimates of carbon stocks that are vital to the understanding of fuelwood reserves, which is the primary source of energy for 90% of households ...
  • Unsustainable fuelwood extraction from South African savannas 
    Wessels, K.J. (Konrad); Colgan, M.S.; Erasmus, Barend Frederik Nel; Asner, G.P. (Gregory); Twine, W.C.; Mathieu, Renaud; Van Aardt, J.A.N.; Fisher, J.T. (Jolene); Smit, Izak P.J. (Institute of Physics, 2013-01-17)
    Wood and charcoal supply the majority of sub-Saharan Africa’s rural energy needs. The long-term supply of fuelwood is in jeopardy given high consumption rates. Using airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR), we mapped ...
