Using remote sensing techniques to delineate SDS “hotspot” source regions [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesOperational remote sensing (ORS) is an effective tool for hazard zonation of the dust source areas for remediation and vegetation purposes. Various ORS satellite monitoring techniques, including NASA MODIS Aqua/Terra, Landsat and ESA Sentinel, were used ...

Phytoplankton Hotspot Prediction With an Unsupervised Spatial Community Model
, 2017 Many interesting natural phenomena are sparsely distributed and discrete. Locating the hotspots of such sparsely distributed phenomena is often difficult because their density gradient is likely to be very noisy.

Spatial and temporal variation in species‐area relationships in the Fynbos biological hotspot
Ecography, 2007 Species‐area relations (SARs) are among the few recognized general patterns of ecology, are empirical relations giving the number of species found within an area of a given size and were initially formulated for island environments. The use of SARs has been extended to mainland environments, and to give baseline estimates of extinction rates attending ...

Stigmergy-based modeling to discover urban activity patterns from positioning data
, 2019 Positioning data offer a remarkable source of information to analyze crowds urban dynamics. However, discovering urban activity patterns from the emergent behavior of crowds involves complex system modeling.
