Impact of a rural solar electrification project on the level and structure of women's empowerment

Jennifer Burney, Halimatou Alaofè, Rosamond L. Naylor, Douglas Taren

Journal Article

Although development organizations agree that reliable access to energy and energy services—one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals—is likely to have profound and perhaps disproportionate impacts...
The shared and unique values of optical, fluorescence, thermal and microwave satellite data for estimating large-scale crop yields

David Lobell, Kaiyu Guan, Jin Wu, John S.Kimball, Marth C. Anderson, Steve Frolking Bo Li, Christopher Hain

Journal Article

Large-scale crop monitoring and yield estimation are important for both scientific research and practical applications. Satellite remote sensing provides an effective means for regional and global...
Towards fine resolution global maps of crop yields: Testing multiple methods and satellites in three countries

George Azzari, Meha Jain, David Lobell

Journal Article

One of the greatest challenges in monitoring food security is to provide reliable crop yield information that is temporally consistent and spatially scalable. An ideal yield dataset would not only...
Satellite-based assessment of yield variation and its determinants in smallholder African systems

Marshall Burke, David Lobell

Journal Article

The emergence of satellite sensors that can routinely observe millions of individual smallholder farms raises possibilities for monitoring and understanding agricultural productivity in many regions...
Satellite detection of rising maize yield heterogeneity in the U.S. Midwest

David Lobell, George Azzari

Journal Article

The future trajectory of crop yields in the United States will influence food supply and land use worldwide. We examine maize and soybean yields for 2000–2015 in the Midwestern U.S. using a new...
