Designing Unmanned Aerial Survey Monitoring Program to Assess Floating Litter Contamination
Remote Sensing, 2022 Monitoring marine contamination by floating litter can be particularly challenging since debris are continuously moving over a large spatial extent pushed by currents, waves, and winds.

Salmonella in broiler litter and properties of soil at farm location. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Contamination of litter in a broiler grow-out house with Salmonella prior to placement of a new flock has been shown to be a precursor of the flock's Salmonella contamination further down the production continuum.

Are opportunistic captures of neonate ungulates biasing relative estimates of litter size?
Animal Biotelemetry, 2022 The capture of neonate ungulates allows for the collection of valuable ecological data, including estimates of litter size. However, varied methods used to capture neonate ungulates can result in sampling biases.

Automatic Detection of Marine Litter: A General Framework to Leverage Synthetic Data
Remote Sensing, 2022 The spatial and temporal coverage of spaceborne optical imaging systems are well suited for automated marine litter monitoring. However, developing machine learning-based detection and identification algorithms requires large amounts of data.

Mapping litter decomposition by remote-detected indicators
Annals of Geophysics, 2006 Leaf litter decomposition is a key process for the functioning of natural ecosystems. An important limiting factor for this process is detritus availability, which we have estimated by remote sensed indices of canopy green biomass (NDVI). Here, we describe the use of multivariate geostatistical analysis to couple in situ measures with hyper-spectral ...

Marine Litter Windrows: A Strategic Target to Understand and Manage the Ocean Plastic Pollution
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Windrow is a long-established term for the aggregations of seafoam, seaweeds, plankton and natural debris that appear on the ocean surface. Here, we define a “litter windrow” as any aggregation of floating litter at the submesoscale domain (<10 km ...

Advancing deep learning-based detection of floating litter using a novel open dataset
Frontiers in Water, 2023 Supervised Deep Learning (DL) methods have shown promise in monitoring the floating litter in rivers and urban canals but further advancements are hard to obtain due to the limited availability of relevant labeled data.

MINI UAV-BASED LITTER DETECTION ON RIVER BANKS [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 Most of the anthropic pollution arriving to seas and oceans is carried by rivers, leading to a dramatic impact on the aquatic flora and fauna. Hence, several strategies have already been considered to reduce the use of plastic (and non biodegradable ...

Hyperspectral Imaging Zero-Shot Learning for Remote Marine Litter Detection and Classification
Remote Sensing, 2022 This paper addresses the development of a novel zero-shot learning method for remote marine litter hyperspectral imaging data classification. The work consisted of using an airborne acquired marine litter hyperspectral imaging dataset that contains data ...

Organoarsenicals in poultry litter: Detection, fate, and toxicity
Environment International, 2015 Arsenic contamination in groundwater has endangered the health and safety of millions of people around the world. One less studied mechanism for arsenic introduction into the environment is the use of organoarsenicals in animal feed. Four organoarsenicals are commonly employed as feed additives: arsanilic acid, carbarsone, nitarsone, and roxarsone ...
