  4. Is small-scale agriculture really the main driver of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon? Moving beyond the prevailing narrative by Ravikumar, A., Sears, R., Cronkleton, P., Menton, M., Pérez Ojeda del Arco, M.

    Published 2017
    “…We find that the narrative is based on remote sensing of deforestation patch sizes but not on field data, potentially conflating distinct drivers of deforestation under the umbrella of “migratory,” “small‐scale,” or “subsistence” agriculture. …”

  5. Mapping the spatial and temporal extent of floods in South Asia by CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

    Published 2014
    “…A research project by CCAFS and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) focuses on a moderate-resolution mapping of monsoon flood risk areas in South Asia using satellite remote-sensing datasets. In the past, many studies were carried out in South Asia to investigate the hydrologic behaviour of the fl oods and post-flood event mapping using remote-sensing data. …”

  7. Current trends in River Bathymetry using UAV-borne technology to inform E-flow assessments in Southern Africa by Singh, K.

    Published 2023
    “…In situ measurements, despite their accuracy, may lack spatial representativeness and are resource intensive. Remote sensing techniques, particularly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), offer an alternative for bathymetric data collection driven by their ability to access challenging areas of a river and provide high-resolution data at relatively low cost. …”
