Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Remote sensing
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Leaf area index, Canopy and Thematic Mapper. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pixel, Subpixel rendering and Vegetation in addition to Remote sensing. His research on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index frequently links to adjacent areas such as Boreal.

His studies deal with areas such as Primary production and Deciduous as well as Canopy. He focuses mostly in the field of Deciduous, narrowing it down to matters related to Tree canopy and, in some cases, Land cover and Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer. His research integrates issues of Spectral response, Haze, Robustness and Visible band in his study of Thematic Mapper.

His most cited work include:

  • Retrieving Leaf Area Index of Boreal Conifer Forests Using Landsat TM Images (617 citations)
  • The Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) : an overview and early results from the 1994 field year (500 citations)
  • BOREAS in 1997: Experiment overview, scientific results, and future directions (448 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Josef Cihlar mainly focuses on Remote sensing, Land cover, Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Radiometry. His research in Remote sensing intersects with topics in Vegetation, Pixel and Leaf area index. His study looks at the relationship between Land cover and fields such as Remote sensing, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Josef Cihlar has researched Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer in several fields, including Meteorology and Data set. His research investigates the connection with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and areas like Taiga which intersect with concerns in Boreal. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Algorithm and Bidirectional reflectance distribution function.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (66.17%)
  • Land cover (28.57%)
  • Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer (21.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2012)?

  • Remote sensing (66.17%)
  • Land cover (28.57%)
  • Vegetation (17.29%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Remote sensing, Land cover, Vegetation, Pixel and Environmental resource management are his primary areas of study. His Remote sensing research includes themes of Primary production, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function and Inversion. The Land cover study combines topics in areas such as Information extraction, Thematic Mapper, Leaf area index and Scale.

His work carried out in the field of Vegetation brings together such families of science as Cartography, Environmental monitoring, Agricultural land and Physical geography. His Environmental resource management research integrates issues from Crown closure, Land use mapping and Sustainable development. His work deals with themes such as Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, Vegetation Index, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Taiga, which intersect with Radiometry.

Between 2002 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Sentinels for science: potential of Sentinel-1, -2, and -3 missions for scientific observations of ocean, cryosphere, and land (266 citations)
  • Spatial distribution of carbon sources and sinks in Canada’s forests (161 citations)
  • Land cover mapping of North and Central America—Global Land Cover 2000 (154 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Climate change
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Remote sensing, Climate change, Permafrost, Climatology and Biosphere. His Remote sensing research incorporates themes from Cryosphere and Climatic variables. Josef Cihlar combines subjects such as Soil water and Atmospheric temperature with his study of Climate change.

His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Earth observation, Meteorology, Satellite data and Global climate. His study on Biosphere also encompasses disciplines like

  • Remote sensing that intertwine with fields like Primary production, Biome, Global change and Boreal ecosystem,
  • Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer which is related to area like Land cover. Josef Cihlar interconnects Snow, Evapotranspiration and Leaf area index in the investigation of issues within Land cover.
