Uncovering spatiotemporal pattern of floods with Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar in major rice-growing river basins of Tanzania
In Tanzania, 71% of rice is grown in a rainfed lowland rice production ecosystem, primarily in river basins where extreme weather events like floods are frequent. For a six-year period (2017–2022), flood mapping was conducted using Sentinel-1 data in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, utilizing...
