The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation: High-resolution laser ranging of the Earth’s forests and topography

Ralph Dubayah, J. B. Blair, S. J. Goetz et al. · 27 Jan 2020

Obtaining accurate and widespread measurements of the vertical structure of the Earth’s forests has been a long-sought goal for the ecological community. Such observations are critical for accurately assessing the existing biomass of forests, and how changes in this biomass caused by human activities or variations in climate may impact atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Additionally, the…

UAV & satellite synergies for optical remote sensing applications: A literature review

Emilien Alvarez-Vanhard, Thomas Corpetti, Thomas Houet · 6 Feb 2021

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite constellations are both essential Earth Observation (EO) systems for monitoring land surface dynamics. The former is frequently used for its acquisition flexibility and its ability to supply imagery with very high spatial resolution (VHSR); the latter is interesting for supplying time-series data over large areas. However, each of these…

The 50-year Landsat collection 2 archive

Christopher J. Crawford, David P. Roy, Saeed Arab et al. · 18 Sep 2023

The Landsat global consolidated data archive now exceeds 50 years. In recognition of the need for consistently processed data across the Landsat satellite series, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) initiated collection-based processing of the entire archive that was processed as Collection 1 in 2016. In preparation for the data from the now successfully launched…

An evaluation of Landsat, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1 and MODIS data for crop type mapping

Xiao‐Peng Song, Wenli Huang, Matthew C. Hansen et al. · 21 Jan 2021

Generating crop type maps using satellite remote sensing requires robust data acquisition at both high spatial and temporal resolutions to resolve rapid phenological transition at the field scale. The increasing availability of freely-available, moderate-resolution satellite data such as the Landsat and Sentinel series of satellites offers an unprecedent opportunity for large-area crop type mapping. In…

The impact of geolocation uncertainty on GEDI tropical forest canopy height estimation and change monitoring

David P. Roy, Herve B. Kashongwe, John Armston · 18 Jun 2021

The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) LiDAR provides new spaceborne vegetation canopy structural information including relative canopy height products defined with respect to 25 m diameter footprints. The GEDI geolocation requirement is that each 25 m footprint center is horizontally georeferenced to within 10 m (1σ), assuming normally distributed geolocation errors with a 0 m…

Science of Remote Sensing template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Science of Remote Sensing format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Science of Remote Sensing template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Science of Remote Sensing use?
Science of Remote Sensing uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Science of Remote Sensing 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Science of Remote Sensing?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Science of Remote Sensing document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Science of Remote Sensing template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Science of Remote Sensing format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Science of Remote Sensing?
Science of Remote Sensing is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Science of Remote Sensing template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Science of Remote Sensing PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Science of Remote Sensing template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
