Abstract

In a recent paper (Mitchard etal. 2014, Global Ecology and Biogeography, 23, 935-946) a new map of forest biomass based on a geostatistical model of field data for the Amazon (and surrounding forests) was presented and contrasted with two earlier maps based on remote-sensing data Saatchi etal. (2011; RS1) and Baccini etal. (2012; RS2). Mitchard etal. concluded that both the earlier remote-sensing based maps were incorrect because they did not conform to Mitchard etal. interpretation of the field-based results. In making their case, however, they misrepresented the fundamental nature of primary field and remote-sensing data and committed critical errors in their assumptions about the accuracy of research plots, the interpolation methodology and the statistical analysis. By ignoring the large uncertainty associated with ground estimates of biomass and the significant under-sampling and spatial bias of research plots, Mitchard etal. reported erroneous trends and artificial patterns of biomass over Amazonia. Because of these misrepresentations and methodological flaws, we find their critique of the satellite-derived maps to be invalid.

Abstract

The economic and population growth in India accompanied by increasingly frequent and severe disasters, such as floods and forest fires, raises concerns about the future. In recent decades, satellite technology has become an important tool for monitoring the Earth's surface, including natural hazards and land surface changes. Our USAID (United States Agency for International Development) project, REmote Sensing for Forest Renewal, Ecosystem Services, and Sustainable Hydrological Management (REFRESH), aims to improve forest sustainability in India with the help of satellite geodetic and remote sensing data. Here we report the progress for the physical science component of the REFRESH Project. Our team has developed a deep-learning model for classifying 10 types of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) to detect long-term changes in forest areas over India. With collaboration from Indian partners, we validate our classification results using their in-situ land cover data. We used PlanetScope daily images at 3–5 m spatial resolution to monitor the evolutions of floods and forest fires over India. Other satellite data products include in-land water level virtual stations over rivers, dams, and lakes using three decades of satellite radar altimetry, daily-sampled GRACE/GRACE-FO Level 1B gravimetry data to monitor monsoonal floods and seasonal droughts, spaceborne lidar and GEDI for mapping canopy changes, and deep-learning downscaled satellite gravimetry measured total water storage anomalies over entire India. Finally, we plan to generate spaceborne GNSS-Reflectometry and NASA’s CYGNSS for water/land classification data products over India. The data products can be retrieved, visualized, and analyzed on an elaborate observation portal., The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023)

Abstract

Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. This disease typically affects the elderly and presents with itch and localized or, most frequently, generalized bullous lesions. A subset of patients only develops excoriations, prurigo-like lesions, and eczematous and/or urticarial erythematous lesions. The disease, which is significantly associated with neurological disorders, has high morbidity and severely impacts the quality of life. Objectives and methodology: the Autoimmune blistering diseases Task Force of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology sought to update the guidelines for the management of BP based on new clinical information, and new evidence on diagnostic tools and interventions. The recommendations are either evidence-based or rely on expert opinion. The degree of consent among all task force members was included. Results: treatment depends on the severity of BP and patients' comorbidities. High-potency topical corticosteroids are recommended as the mainstay of treatment whenever possible. Oral prednisone at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day is a recommended alternative. In case of contraindications or resistance to corticosteroids, immunosuppressive therapies, such as methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil or mycophenolate acid, may be recommended. The use of doxycycline and dapsone is controversial. They may be recommended, in particular, in patients with contraindications to oral corticosteroids. B-cell-depleting therapy and intravenous immunoglobulins may be considered in treatment-resistant cases. Omalizumab and dupilumab have recently shown promising results. The final version of the guideline was consented to by several patient organizations. Conclusions: the guidelines for the management of BP were updated. They summarize evidence- and expert-based recommendations useful in clinical practice., The guideline update was partly supported by the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) and the European Network for Rare Skin Disorders (ERN).
