Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Ground‐truthing of satellite imagery to assess seabird colony size: A test using Adélie penguins

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Adélie penguin colony size can be estimated from space using very high‐resolution (VHR; 0.3–0.6 m resolution) satellite imagery due to the contrast between their guano stain and the surrounding terrain. Our study assessed the utility of VHR imagery for making indirect assessments of changes in colony size.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Using time‐series remote sensing to identify and track individual bird nests at large scales

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Time‐series airborne imagery can potentially track individuals over time to collect information beyond one‐off counts. Using weekly UAS‐based imagery of wading bird colonies, we develop an automated approach to identifying nests. Our algorithmic approach detected 68–74% of known nests and exhibited similar performance to human review of imagery ...

A Method for Assessing the Risks to Sustainability Posed by Process Operations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a framework for assessing the risks to sustainability posed by any given set of processes. The objective is to improve sustainability by enabling better decision‐making in policy and business contexts. The framework can be applied to any system of processes where available information supports discovery and quantification of ...

Carbon Performance in Airlines: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Institutional and Firm‐Level Drivers

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air transport is one of the fastest‐growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet it remains one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. The sector's climate impact is amplified by two factors: the steady rise in passenger demand and the absence of commercially viable low‐carbon technologies for long‐haul flights.
