Rapid growth of Malaysia’s economy recently is often associated with various environmental disturbances, which have been contributing to depletion of forest resources and thus climate change. The need for more spaces for numerous land developments has made the existing forests suffer from deforestation. This chapter presents an overview and demonstrates how remote sensing data is used to map and quantify changes of tropical forests in Malaysia. The analysis dealt with image processing that produce seamless mosaics of optical satellite data over Malaysia, within 15 years period, with 5-year intervals. The challenges were about the production of cloud-free images over a tropical country that always covered by clouds. These datasets were used to identify eligible areas for carbon offset in land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector in Malaysia. Altogether 580 scenes of Landsat imagery were processed to complete the observation period and came out with a seamless, wall to wall images over Malaysia from year 2005 to 2020. Forests have been identified from the image classification and then classified into three major types, which are dry-inland forest, peat swamp and mangroves. Post-classification change detection technique was used to determine areas that have been undergoing conversions from forests to other land uses. Forest areas were found to have declined from about 19.3 Mil. ha (in 2005) to 18.2 Mil. ha in year 2020. Causes of deforestation have been identified and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that has been emitted due to the deforestation activity has been determined in this study. The total deforested area between years 2005 and 2020 was at 1,087,030 ha with rate of deforestation of about 72,469 ha yr.−1 (or 0.37% yr.−1). This has contributed to the total CO2 emission of 689.26 Mil. Mg CO2, with an annual rate of 45.95 Mil. Mg CO2 yr.−1. The study found that the use of a series satellite images from optical sensors are the most appropriate sensors to be used for monitoring of deforestation over the Malaysia region, although cloud covers are the major issue for optical imagery datasets.

Dry land occupies the largest area (90%) and has a strategic position in agricultural development activities in Indonesia. The biggest potential of natural resources in the agricultural sector in the district was reached 40.26%. One of the data provider of effective and efficient in terms of development activities and development of the region is remote sensing data. The purpose of this study is to map the area of dry land with the help of remote sensing data. Landsat imagery 8 extracted to obtain land cover information which is then further processed to produce a land use classification is based on the knowledge based classification. Analyzed land use to obtain the map of dry land. The results showed that the District of Wonosari has an area of dry land scattered in all districts and has an area of 185. 733 km2. Dry land area consists of mixed farms (162.811,8 km2) and bare land (22.921,2 km2). Tanah kering menempati area terbesar (90%) dan memiliki posisi strategis dalam kegiatan pembangunan pertanian di Indonesia. Potensi sumber daya alam terbesar di sektor pertanian di kabupaten ini mencapai 40,26%. Salah satu penyedia data yang efektif dan efisien dalam hal kegiatan pengembangan dan pengembangan kawasan adalah data penginderaan jauh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memetakan daerah lahan kering dengan bantuan data penginderaan jarak jauh. Citra landsat 8 diekstraksi untuk mendapatkan informasi tutupan lahan yang kemudian diproses lebih lanjut untuk menghasilkan klasifikasi penggunaan lahan berdasarkan klasifikasi berbasis pengetahuan. Menganalisis penggunaan lahan untuk mendapatkan peta lahan kering. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kabupaten Wonosari memiliki lahan kering yang tersebar di semua kecamatan dan memiliki luas wilayah 185. 733 km2. Luas lahan kering terdiri dari lahan pertanian campuran (162,811,8 km2) dan lahan kosong (22.921,2 km2).

Conversion of native vegetation into farmed grassland in the Lake Taupo catchment commenced in the late 1950s. The lake's iconic value is being threatened by the slow decline in lake water quality that has become apparent since the 1970s.

The aim of this study is to assess the capability of estimating Leaf Area Index (LAI) from high spatial resolution multi-angular Vis-NIR remote sensing data of WiDAS (Wide-Angle Infrared Dual-mode Line/Area Array Scanner) imaging system by inverting the coupled radiative transfer models PROSPECT-SAILH. Based on simulations from SAILH canopy reflectance model and PROSPECT leaf optical properties model, a Look-up Table (LUT) which describes the relationship between multi-angular canopy reflectance and LAI has been produced. Then the LAI can be retrieved from LUT by directly matching canopy reflectance of six view directions and four spectral bands with LAI. The inversion results are validated by field data, and by comparing the retrieval results of single-angular remote sensing data with multi-angular remote sensing data, we can found that the view angle takes the obvious impact on the LAI retrieval of single-angular data and that high accurate LAI can be obtained from the high resolution multi-angular remote sensing technology.

Abstract. The scarcity of water encourages scientists to develop new analytical tools to enhance water resource management. Water accounting and distributed hydrological models are examples of such tools. Water accounting needs accurate input data for adequate descriptions of water distribution and water depletion in river basins. Ground-based observatories are decreasing, and not generally accessible. Remote sensing data is a suitable alternative to measure the required input variables. This paper reviews the reliability of remote sensing algorithms to accurately determine the spatial distribution of actual evapotranspiration, rainfall and land use. For our validation we used only those papers that covered study periods of seasonal to annual cycles because the accumulated water balance is the primary concern. Review papers covering shorter periods only (days, weeks) were not included in our review. Our review shows that by using remote sensing, the absolute values of evapotranspiration can be estimated with an overall accuracy of 95% (SD 5%) and rainfall with an overall absolute accuracy of 82% (SD 15%). Land use can be identified with an overall accuracy of 85% (SD 7%). Hence, more scientific work is needed to improve the spatial mapping of rainfall and land use using multiple space-borne sensors. While not always perfect at all spatial and temporal scales, seasonally accumulated actual evapotranspiration maps can be used with confidence in water accounting and hydrological modeling.
