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...

Improving air quality dispersion models using lidar measurements (2011)
Thesis
Bachtiar, V. Improving air quality dispersion models using lidar measurements. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

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)... Read More about Improving air quality dispersion models using lidar measurements.

Evaluating medium resolution satellite data for monitoring seasonal vegetation dynamics (2009)
Thesis
Ogunbadewa, E. Evaluating medium resolution satellite data for monitoring seasonal vegetation dynamics. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Quantitative monitoring of vegetation change over time is essential in understanding the environmental processes of which are important in climate change and global warming models, because vegetation change is an indicator of environmental variabil...

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.

A regional environmental infrastructure management system for the Gaza Strip (2007)
Thesis
Jouda-Mohammed, A. A regional environmental infrastructure management system for the Gaza Strip. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Environmental Infrastructure in the Gaza Strip (GS) is a multidisciplinary sector related to provision of basic services of water supply, waste water, storm water drainage and solid waste disposal. The emerging institutions of the Palestinian N... Read More about A regional environmental infrastructure management system for the Gaza Strip.

Estimating leaf area index in savanna vegetation using remote sensing and inverse modelling (2005)
Thesis
Bowyer, P. Estimating leaf area index in savanna vegetation using remote sensing and inverse modelling. (Thesis). University of Salford

Leaf area index (LAI), defined as the one sided green leaf area per unit ground area, is a key parameter in ecosystem process models. Owing to the large area of the earth's surface that they occupy, savanna ecosystems represent the third largest terr...
