Fire is one of the natural agents with the greatest impact on the terrestrial ecosystem and plays an important ecological role in a large part of the terrestrial surface. Remote sensing is an important technique applied in mapping and monitoring changes in forest landscapes affected by fires. This study presents a spectral separability analysis for the detection of burned areas using Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS images i...
Forest fires are considered one of the major dangers and environmental issues across the world. In the Cerrado biome (Brazilian savannas), forest fires have several consequences, including increased temperature, decreased rainfall, genetic depletion of natural species, and increased risk of respiratory diseases. This study presents a methodology that uses data from the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiomete...
Forest fires threaten the population’s health, biomass, and biodiversity, intensifying the desertification processes and causing temporary damage to conservation areas. Remote sensing has been used to detect, map, and monitor areas that are affected by forest fires due to the fact that the different areas burned by a fire have similar spectral characteristics. This study analyzes the performance of the k-Neares...
The safety of a dam is the result of a series of factors, including structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, operational and environmental aspects. In Brazil, Law No. 12.334 of September 2010 establishes the National Dam Safety Policy, which requires safety reports and monitoring inspections for existing dams. The inspection comprises a set of devices installed on the dam, which are used to assess the structural be...
Le Nord-Est brésilien a à peu près 80% de sa superficie classée comme semi-aride avec environ 845.000 km² de Caatinga (l'équivalent à 11% du territoire du Brésil). Des études sur cet écosystème sont essentielles car ce biome est l'un des plus menacés en raison d’une utilisation inadéquate et non durable des ressources naturelles. Des travaux de recherches scientifique et technique en matière de Télédétection à ...
A Caatinga é o tipo de vegetação que cobre a maior parte da área com clima semiárido da região Nordeste do Brasil. Estudos neste ecossistema são imprescindíveis, pois esse bioma é um dos mais ameaçados devido ao uso inadequado e insustentável dos recursos naturais. No Brasil, o semi-árido é uma das regiões mais afetadas pelo problema, ocasionando processos desertificatórios crescentes com graves consequências s...
