Accurate attribute mapping from volunteered geographic information: issues of volunteer quantity and quality (2015)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M., See, L., Fritz, S., van der Velde, M., Perger, C., Schill, C., …Comber, A. (2015). Accurate attribute mapping from volunteered geographic information: issues of volunteer quantity and quality. Cartographic Journal, 52(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/00087041.2015.1108658

Crowdsourcing is a popular means of acquiring data, but the use of such data is limited by concerns with its quality. This is evident within cartography and geographical sciences more generally, with the quality of volunteered geographic information...

Detecting the effects of hydrocarbon pollution in the Amazon forest using hyperspectral satellite images (2015)
Journal Article
Arellano, P., Tansey, K., Balzter, H., & Boyd, D. S. (2015). Detecting the effects of hydrocarbon pollution in the Amazon forest using hyperspectral satellite images. Environmental Pollution, 205, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2015.05.041

The global demand for fossil energy is triggering oil exploration and production projects in remote areas of the world. During the last few decades hydrocarbon production has caused pollution in the Amazon forest inflicting considerable environmental...

Innovative technologies for terrestrial remote sensing (2015)
Journal Article
Aplin, P., & Boyd, D. S. (2015). Innovative technologies for terrestrial remote sensing. Remote Sensing, 7(4), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs70404968

[In lieu of abstract, extract from first page]
Characterizing and monitoring terrestrial, or land, surface features, such as forests, deserts, and cities, are fundamental and continuing goals of Earth Observation (EO). EO imagery and related technol... Read More about Innovative technologies for terrestrial remote sensing.

Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy (2015)
Journal Article
Stott, D., Boyd, D. S., Beck, A., & Cohn, A. (2015). Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy. Remote Sensing, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs70201594

In arable landscapes, the airborne detection of archaeological features is often reliant on using the properties of the vegetation cover as a proxy for sub-surface features in the soil. Under the right conditions, the formation of vegetation marks al... Read More about Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy.
