This study evaluates the capacity of medium-resolution optical and radar satellite imagery (Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2) to detect and delineate urban destruction, utilizing the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake as a primary case study. The analysis identifies specific spectral bands and radar feature importance to determine which data inputs drive the most accurate damage classific...

Barchan dunes are primarily found in areas with a limited sand supply and consistent, unidirectional wind throughout the year. They are characterized by a moon-like, crescent shape (Bristow, 2019) and are the only migratory dune type whose entire sand mass shifts with the wind direction (Brunotte et al., 2001). A barchan consists of a windward slope, formed by s...
