A Cloud Framework for High Spatial Resolution Soil Moisture Mapping from Radar and Optical Satellite Imageries Chin. Geogr. Sci. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-08-04 Tianhao Guo, Jia Zheng, Chunmei Wang, Zui Tao, Xingming Zheng, Qi Wang, Lei Li, Zhuangzhuang Feng, Xigang Wang, Xinbiao Li, Liwei Ke
Soil moisture plays an important role in crop yield estimation, irrigation management, etc. Remote sensing technology has potential for large-scale and high spatial soil moisture mapping. However, offline remote sensing data processing is time-consuming and resource-intensive, and significantly hampers the efficiency and timeliness of soil moisture mapping. Due to the high-speed computing capabilities

Spatio-temporal Evolution of Urban Expansion Based on a Novel Adjusted Index and GEE: A Case Study of Central Plains Urban Agglomeration, China Chin. Geogr. Sci. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-08-04 Yanlin Su, Chunyan Lu, Yue Su, Zili Wang, Yufei Huang, Nuocheng Yang
It is crucial to investigate the urban agglomerations spatio-temporal evolution patterns and driving factors for analyzing the urban spatial structure-functional division and promoting the coordinated development of urban agglomerations. In this study, a novel vegetation-building-nighttime light-adjusted index (VBNAI) was established for rapid and effective mapping of urban construction land (UCL)

Variations in Surface Urban Heat Island and Urban Cool Island Intensity: A Review Across Major Climate Zones Chin. Geogr. Sci. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-18 Muhammad Sadiq Khan, Sami Ullah, Liding Chen
The climate has an impact on the urban thermal environment, and the magnitude of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) and urban cool island (UCI) vary across the world’s climatic zones. This literature review investigated: 1) the variations in the SUHI and UCI intensity under different climatic backgrounds, and 2) the effect of vegetation types, landscape composition, urban configuration, and water

Detection of Multi-dimensional Driving Forces of Public Environmental Concern in China: Based on Spatial Heterogeneity Perspectives Chin. Geogr. Sci. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-18 Yun Tong, Li Pang, Minghui Sun, Junyi Han
Public environmental concern (PEC) is an important bottom-up force in building an environmentally sustainable society. Guided by attitude theory, this paper innovatively constructed a PEC evaluation index system, while introducing entropy weighted-TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) to realize the assessment of PEC. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to portray

Types and Optimization Paths Between Poverty Alleviation Effectiveness and Rural Revitalization: A Case Study of Hunan Province, China Chin. Geogr. Sci. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-18 Xuelan Tan, Zhenkai Wang, Yue An, Weilin Wang
Exploring the synergy types and optimization paths between Poverty Alleviation Effectiveness and Rural Revitalization is necessary for achieving the two centenary goals. Taking poverty alleviation counties in Hunan Province, China as an example, our study proposed an indicator to measure the synergistic development between Poverty Alleviation Effectiveness and Rural Revitalization using the multi-index
