Wetland ecological index and assessment of spatial-temporal changes of wetland ecological integrity.

Long-term, quantitative, and dynamic monitoring of regional ecological integrity using remote sensing can provide powerful decision-making support for sustainable regional development. However, existing methods are unable to accurately evaluate the quality of the surface ecological integrity because they do not consider vegetation saturation and salinization of wetlands. In addition, the ecological fragility of wetlands is characterized by a high frequency of changes in ecological conditions over time, leading to a lack of directionality in the analysis of ecological changes over long time series.

Prediction of Sea Level Nonlinear Trends around Shandong Peninsula from Satellite Altimetry.

Sea level change is a key indicator of climate change, and the prediction of sea level rise is one of most important scientific issues. In this paper, the gridded sea level anomaly (SLA) data from satellite altimetry are used to analyze the sea level variations around Shandong Peninsula from 1993 to 2016. Based on the Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMD) method and Radial Basis Function (RBF) network, the paper proposes an improved sea level multi-scale prediction approach, namely, CEEMD-RBF combined model.
