Agriculture brings with it a number of issues: agricultural production and food security, water and soil resource conservation, limiting the impact of farming on the quality of our environment (water, air, soil). In the context of global changes and the challenges they pose for agriculture sustainability, our ability to characterize how croplands f...
The transfer of energy and water, as well as gaseous components, in the soil–plant–atmosphere system plays a crucial role in many processes involved in climate change. The surface energy balance drives both evapotranspiration (closely linked to the CO2 flux) and sensible heat flux. By providing direct information on heat dissipation efficiency, sur...
Regions with dry climates cover a large part of the world’s landmass (more than 40%). Collectively known by the English term "drylands", they encompass a wide range of ecosystems, including the American "deserts" of California, Nevada and Mexico ; the vast steppes of Central Asia and North Africa ; the Sahelian savannah and real deserts such as the...

Small reservoirs have developed across semi-arid areas as a low cost solution for millions of rural small holders to harvest scarce water resources. Studies have highlighted limited agricultural water use and low water availability on individual reservoirs, but no information exists on the drought patterns of multiple small reservoirs. Their small ...

Infectious diseases are caused by a pathogenic microorganism (virus, bacterium, parasite or fungus) and have a significant impact on public and animal health. In public health, they are one of the leading causes of death and are priorities in the poorest countries. In animal health, they can be devastating and radical measures are taken to prevent ...
In this study, rating curves (RCs) were determined by applying satellite altimetry to a poorly gauged basin. This study demonstrates the synergistic application of remote sensing and watershed modeling to capture the dynamics and quantity of flow in the Amazon River Basin, respectively. Three major advancements for estimating basin-scale patterns i...
