Characterization of Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 Reflectivity and NDVI Continuity Based on Google Earth Engine by Qing Zhang, Difeng Wang, Dongyang Fu, Fang Gong, Xianqiang He, Yiqi Wang

“…This study utilized the Reduced Major Axis (RMA) regression to compare simulated reflectance data derived from the spectral response functions and spectral library data, showing minor spectral response differences between the two sensors (RMA slope close to 1, RMSD &#x2264; 0.0005); The consistency of more than 100 million pairs of top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and surface reflectance (SR) data from two sensors extracted based on Google Earth Engine was then evaluated using RMA and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, and a transfer function developed using OLS regression was provided (<italic>R</italic>² &gt; 0.84); The results showed that the atmospheric state has a significant effect on the continuity of the sensors, especially in the shorter wavelength bands; there are differences in the TOA and SR data, with the absolute mean difference &#x007C;MD&#x007C; &#x2264; 0. 0011, root mean square difference &#x007C;RMSD&#x007C; &#x2264; 0.0278 and mean relative difference &#x007C;MRD&#x007C; &#x2264; 0.47&#x0025;; In addition, the influence of seasonal factors on the consistency of the two sensors was investigated, and the corresponding transformation functions were provided; The OLS transformation functions developed in this paper were validated on over 10 million samples in Africa, with <italic>R</italic>² &gt; 0.86 for TOA, <italic>R</italic>² &gt; 0.93 for SR, and <italic>R</italic>² &gt; 0.91 for the SR seasonal transformations.…”

Heritage in real life: between appreciation and contempt: why are modern Egyptians continuously losing their heritage? by Medhat Wassef

“…This phenomenon could not be seen clearer than in the case of Egypt: for while the UNESCO initiative is achieving positive results in Europe and the developed world, and while more heritage assets are being added to the world heritage list every year, Egypt is facing a continuous decline in its tangible cultural heritage (Hanna, 2013), as "less appreciated" or "undesired" historical sites are continually being demolished by the government or private owners to make way for other functions (Middle East Eye, 2023) & (Zakaria, 2019), and other heritage sites are looted in search of treasures to be sold on the black market (Hanna, 2013). …”
