A comparison of air pollution in different socio-economic areas (2020)
Thesis
Houghton, R. A comparison of air pollution in different socio-economic areas. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Air pollution has a significant impact on human health causing around 40,000 deaths annually in the United Kingdom (RCPCH, 2016). This thesis examines the variations in Particulate Matter concentration across areas of different socio-economic status....

Terrestrial laser scanning measurements to characterise temporal changes in forest canopies (2011)
Thesis
Cardozo, F. Terrestrial laser scanning measurements to characterise temporal changes in forest canopies. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Light detection and ranging (lidar) systems are active sensors capable of creating a permanent three-dimensional (3D) record of forest canopy structure. This 3D characterisation can provide increased accuracy for aboveground biomass estimates in h...

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.
