Summarizing the State of the Terrestrial Biosphere in Few Dimensions

In times of global change, we must closely monitor the state of the planet in order to understand the full complexity of these changes. In fact, each of the Earth's subsystems – i.e., the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere – can be …

The Low Dimensionality of Development

The World Bank routinely publishes over 1500 "World Development Indicators" to track the socioeconomic development at the country level. A range of indices has been proposed to interpret this information. For instance, the "Human Development Index" …

Earth System Data Cubes Unravel Global Multivariate Dynamics

Understanding Earth system dynamics in light of ongoing human intervention and dependency remains a major scientific challenge. The unprecedented availability of data streams describing different facets of the Earth now offers fundamentally new …

Multivariate anomaly detection for Earth observations: A comparison of algorithms and feature extraction techniques

Today, many processes at the Earth's surface are constantly monitored by multiple data streams. These observations have become central to advancing our understanding of vegetation dynamics in response to climate or land use change. Another set of …
