Google Earth Engine (GEE) Code to Run and Map the Perimeter-Area Soil Carbon Index (PASCI)

By EAL Salas on March 7, 2025May 1, 2025

The Perimeter-Area Soil Carbon Index or PASCI could easily be applied to hyperspectral and multispectral images, where wavelengths in the SWIR region are available. PASCI is used to quantify, predict,Continue readingGoogle Earth Engine (GEE) Code to Run and Map the Perimeter-Area Soil Carbon Index (PASCI)

Google Earth Engine (GEE) Code to Calculate Moment Distance Index Normalized (MDIN) Using Sentinel-2 or LandSat Images

By EAL Salas on January 15, 2025January 15, 2025

MDIN stands for Moment Distance Index Normalized, originally developed by Salas and Henebry (2013) and improved by Salas and Subburayalu (2019). We developed MDIN to improve the spatial-spectral classification ofContinue readingGoogle Earth Engine (GEE) Code to Calculate Moment Distance Index Normalized (MDIN) Using Sentinel-2 or LandSat Images
