Target cost contracts and the development of collaborative behaviours and value for money in the UK construction industry (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, A., & Wood, G. (2019). Target cost contracts and the development of collaborative behaviours and value for money in the UK construction industry. Journal of international business research and marketing, 4(4), 7-15. https://doi.org/10.18775/jibrm.1849-8558.2015.44.3001

TCCs are seen to be a procurement model capable of achieving value for money through aligning the objectives of the parties to reduce costs. The use of Target Cost Contracts (TCCs) within the UK construction industry has increased dramatically over t...

Retrieval of crop biophysical parameters from Sentinel-2 remote sensing imagery (2019)
Journal Article
Xie, Q., Dash, J., Huete, A., Jiang, A., Yin, G., Ding, Y., …Huang, W. (2019). Retrieval of crop biophysical parameters from Sentinel-2 remote sensing imagery. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 80, 187-195. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2019.04.019

The red-edge bands place the recently available multispectral Sentinel-2 imagery at an advantage over other multispectral sensors, and hypothetically offer improved crop biophysical variable retrieval accuracy. In this study, Sentinel-2 data was test... Read More about Retrieval of crop biophysical parameters from Sentinel-2 remote sensing imagery.

A global risk assessment of primates under climate and land use/cover scenarios (2019)
Journal Article
Carvalho, J., Graham, B., Rebelo, H., Bocksberger, G., Meyer, C., Wich, S., & Kühl, H. (2019). A global risk assessment of primates under climate and land use/cover scenarios. Global Change Biology, 25(9), 3163-3178. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14671

Primates are facing an impending extinction crisis, driven by extensive habitat loss, land use change, and hunting. Climate change is an additional threat, which alone or in combination with other drivers, may severely impact those taxa unable to tra...
