Mapping Soil Moisture from Satellites to Centimetres: A Two-Step Random Forest Downscaling Framework
How do you see soil moisture at the scale of a single field when your data comes from space? Satellite and land-surface-model products map surface soil moisture across whole regions, but only at kilometre-scale resolution — far too coarse to capture the variability that matters for a small catchment or ...

GFI 2.0
GFI 2.0 is an enhanced version of the Geomorphic Flood Index designed to overcome one of the main limitations of DEM-based flood mapping: the inability of purely geomorphic methods to reproduce confluence-controlled backwater effects. By introducing an iterative correction guided by the Horton–Strahler stream hierarchy, GFI 2.0 improves the physical ...
