Spatiotemporal and spectral analysis of sand encroachment dynamics in southern Tunisia

Spatiotemporal and spectral analysis of sand encroachment dynamics in southern Tunisia

Aeolian processes in drylands often transcend into sand encroachment, a common form of land degradation. Highly reflective desert features, hence sandy areas, often cause spectral confusion, and mapping through remote sensing techniques can be challenging. This work aims at designing an efficient cl...
