Funded Activity Summary
Bridging scales in remote sensing of vegetation stress. This project aims to develop operational upscaling algorithms to map vegetation stress indicators from space-borne missions’ optical observations of the Earth. These approaches use computer radiative transfer models and unmanned aircraft systems called drones, and will pave the way for regular satellite monitoring of plant health in extensive and inaccessible Australian and Antarctic areas. More accurate and timely remote sensing maps of early stress symptoms will provide early warnings of droughts, diseases and pests, tell when and where to protect ecological functions of wild natural systems, and help to sustain or even increase agricultural food production.Funded Activity Details
