A team of researchers has developed an approach that maps the soil salt content around the world with an exceptional detail of 10 meters. This advance tackles the pressing need for accurate ...

Coastal salinity is an increasing challenge in low-lying agricultural landscapes. Saltwater inundation (SWI) from tidal flooding can create obvious dead zones along field edges, but these visible ...

Accurate assessment of soil salinity is critical for sustainable agriculture and food security, yet remains technically challenging at fine spatial scales. This study introduces an advanced ensemble ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have developed a new way to use satellite imagery to assess soil salinity, a problem that plagues farmers around the world and ...

A focus at the European Space Agency's Living Planet Symposium is on the innovative Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission, which recently became operational. Early results are proving very ...

ESA's next Earth Explorer, SMOS, has just passed the all-important Flight Acceptance Review, signifying that all the elements that make up the mission are in place for launch later this year. The ...
