Sensitivity of spectral reflectance to variation in live fuel moisture content at leaf and canopy (2004)
Journal Article
Bowyer, P., & Danson, F. (2004). Sensitivity of spectral reflectance to variation in live fuel moisture content at leaf and canopy. Remote Sensing of Environment, 92(3), 297-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2004.05.020

Wildland fires burn large areas of the earth's land surface annually, causing significant environmental damage and danger to human health. In order to mitigate the effects, and to better manage the incidence of such fires, fire behaviour models are u...

Estimating live fuel moisture content from remotely sensed reflectance (2004)
Journal Article
Danson, F., & Bowyer, P. (2004). Estimating live fuel moisture content from remotely sensed reflectance. Remote Sensing of Environment, 92(3), 309-321. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2004.03.017

Fuel moisture content (FMC) is used in forest fire danger models to characterise the moisture status of the foliage. FMC expresses the amount of water in a leaf relative to the amount of dry matter and differs from measures of leaf water content whic...

Landscape dynamics and risk modeling of human alveolar echinococcosis (2004)
Journal Article
Danson, F., Craig, P., Man, W., Shi, D., & Giraudoux, P. (2004). Landscape dynamics and risk modeling of human alveolar echinococcosis. Photogrammetric engineering and remote sensing, 70(3), 359-366. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182003003639

Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare but fatal liver disease caused by a parasitic tapeworm. Between 1994 and 1997 a medical survey in a rural area in central China revealed the highest incidence rate of the disease recorded in the world to d...
