Automated Plantation Mapping in Southeast Asia Using MODIS Data and Imperfect Visual Annotations
Remote Sensing, 2020 Expansion of large-scale tree plantations for commodity crop and timber production is a leading cause of tropical deforestation. While automated detection of plantations across large spatial scales and with high temporal resolution is critical to inform ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Children &Society, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Applying social interdependence theory as a framework for document analysis, this paper considers eight evaluations of an extended care scheme in England known as ‘Staying Close’. Findings suggest that for extended care projects like ‘Staying Close’ to work, any service offer designed to support the transition from residential care to ...

Complexity in the Wake of Artificial Intelligence
ComplexityThis study aims to evaluate quantitatively (albeit in arbitrary units) the evolution of complexity of the human system since the domestication of fire. This is made possible by studying the timing of the 14 most important milestones—breaks in historical ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure
