Journal Article
Marston, C., Danson, F., Armitage, R., Giradoux, P., Pleydell, D., Wang, Q., …Craig, P. (2014). A random forest approach for predicting the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis intermediate host Ochotona spp. presence in relation to landscape characteristics in western China. Applied Geography, 55, 176-183. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeog.2014.09.001

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...

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.

Agricultural and forest meteorology, 198, 7-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2014.07.007

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.
