“Land degradation assessment through Imaging Spectroscopy” Fulbright Research Grant to O. Sykioti Research cooperation with Prof. Dennis Papadopoulos (Department of Physics, University of Maryland / East West Space Center) and Dr. John Antoniades (BAE Systems Electronics & Integrated Solutions, Advanced Technologies) Key research objectives: The project aimed in the use of imaging spectroscopy in order to retrieve qualitatively and quantitatively biochemical/biogeophysical parameters used in erosion and soil degradation models to (a) monitor soil degradation processes, (b) assess land degradation status and (c) retrieve indicators for characteristic surface properties. Parameters such as lithology, underlying rock, surface soil type, vegetation cover, water content, organic matter concentration, carbon and iron content are investigated. These parameters are extremely useful as input to existing models describing erosional processes and degradation dynamics. Image and signal processing techniques such as spectral unmixing are utilized for this purpose in a test site suitably selected in USA for this purpose. *Due to the confidentiality of the data that were used issued from BAE Systems testing of a new experimental airborne hyperspectral sensor, the results of the study were not published.
