TIRLab - Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing

Jennifer Susan Adams and Kathrin Naegeli's paper on "Across-scale thermal infrared anisotropy in forests: Insights from a multi-angular laboratory-based approach" was just published in Remote Sensing of Environment. The study investigated thermal infrared angular effects in forests using a novel method of contructing mini-canopies in the footprint of a laboratory goniometer.

Nils Rietze's second PhD paper "Pre-Fire Vegetation Conditions and Topography Shape Burn Mosaics of Siberian Tundra Fire Scars" was recently published in JGR Biogeosciences. Using a combination of very high-resolution (PlanetScope) and medium resolution (Landsat) imagery, the study revealed heterogeneous burn patterns and how pre-fire vegetation conditions influenced the heterogeneity of the burning.

Jennifer Susan Adams co-authored a paper entitled "Predictions of failed satellite retrieval of air quality using machine learning" where they apply machine learning methods to forecast trace-gas retrieval failures using only raw satellite radiances, including thermal infrared, thereby streamlining the generation of high-quality data.
