Observing sites like the Amazon basin from space has underscored the capability of satellites to better detect signs of drought, according to a new study.
Observing sites like the Amazon basin from space has underscored the capability of satellites to better detect signs of drought, according to a new study.
Led by Military University of Technology Poland and Griffith University, the researchers combined two advance satellite-based methods to improve monitoring of hydrological droughts.
Advance satellite-based methods, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), have been invaluable in tracking changes in global freshwater, including groundwater.
However, Dr Christopher Ndehedehe, a co-author and an ARC DECRA Fellow at Griffith’s Australian Rivers Institute said these methods have limitations.
