Accurate assessment of land surface thermal emissivity [Reading of the Week]
Maria Mira, Vicente Caselles, Enric Valor and César Coll The emissivity of natural surfaces is a required parameter in high accuracy land surface temperature (LST) determinations. Then, it is of great importance to know how thermal infrared (TIR) emissivity changes with the different factors. Soil type influence on emissivity is well known from experimental studies, [...]
Sandra Eckert Urban agriculture is a phenomenon that can be observed world-wide, particularly in cities of developing countries. It is contributing significantly to food security and food safety and has sustained livelihood of the urban and peri-urban low income dwellers in developing countries for many years.

Land-use maps provided by the Israeli government [...]
