A random forest approach for predicting the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis intermediate host Ochotona spp. presence in relation to landscape characteristics in western China (2014)
Journal Article

Understanding distribution patterns of hosts implicated in the transmission of zoonotic disease remains
a key goal of parasitology. Here, random forests are employed to model spatial patterns of the presence of
the plateau pika (Ochotona spp.) smal... Read More about A random forest approach for predicting the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis intermediate host Ochotona spp. presence in relation to landscape characteristics in western China.

A combined model for improving estimation of atmospheric boundary layer height (2014)
Journal Article
Bachtiar, V., Davies, F., & Danson, F. (2014). A combined model for improving estimation of atmospheric boundary layer height. Atmospheric Environment, 98, 461-473. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2014.09.028

Atmospheric boundary layer height is one of the most important parameters in atmospheric dispersion modelling because it has a large effect on predicted air quality. Comparisons between Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling System, version 4 (ADMS 4) and... Read More about A combined model for improving estimation of atmospheric boundary layer height.

Developing a dual-wavelength full-waveform terrestrial laser scanner to characterise forest canopy structure (2014)
Journal Article

The development of a dual-wavelength full-waveform terrestrial laser scanner to measure the three-dimensional structure of forest canopies is described, and field measurements used to evaluate and test the instrument measurement characteristics. The... Read More about Developing a dual-wavelength full-waveform terrestrial laser scanner to characterise forest canopy structure.

Optical medium spatial resolution satellite constellation data for monitoring woodland in the UK (2014)
Journal Article
Ogunbadewa, E., Armitage, R., & Danson, F. (2014). Optical medium spatial resolution satellite constellation data for monitoring woodland in the UK. Forests, 5(7), 1798-1814. https://doi.org/10.3390/f5071798

The aim of this study was to test the potential of a constellation of remote sensing satellites, the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC), for retrieving a temporal record of forest leaf area index (LAI) in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Ground-based... Read More about Optical medium spatial resolution satellite constellation data for monitoring woodland in the UK.
