Multi-Scale detection, mapping, and modelling geomorphic change in gravel-bed rivers with UAV remote sensing (2019)
Thesis
Scott, R. Multi-Scale detection, mapping, and modelling geomorphic change in gravel-bed rivers with UAV remote sensing. (Thesis). University of Salford

Fluvial science is in particular need of surveying tools which can rapidly and accurately capture topographic data. The use of low-cost, consumer grade UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) systems and Structure from Motion (SfM) processing methods has seen...

Estimation of biophysical properties of woodland canopies using LiDAR and hyperspectral imagery (2012)
Thesis
Janardhan, V. Estimation of biophysical properties of woodland canopies using LiDAR and hyperspectral imagery. (Thesis). University of Salford

Vegetation canopies represent the interface between the atmosphere and the biosphere and play an important role in determining energy and mass exchange. Accurate characterisation of vegetation canopy characteristics is therefore important to under...

Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China (2008)
Thesis
Marston, C. Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research investigates the spatial distributions of small mammal species which act as intermediate host vectors for the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, which causes a significant burden of human disease in western China. Small m... Read More about Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China.
