Long-term peatland condition assessment via surface motion monitoring using the ISBAS DInSAR technique over the Flow Country, Scotland (2018)
Journal Article
Alshammari, L., Large, D. J., Boyd, D. S., Sowter, A., Anderson, R., Andersen, R., & Marsh, S. (2018). Long-term peatland condition assessment via surface motion monitoring using the ISBAS DInSAR technique over the Flow Country, Scotland. Remote Sensing, 10(7), Article 1103. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10071103

Satellite Earth Observation (EO) is often used as a cost-effective method to report on the condition of remote and inaccessible peatland areas. Current EO techniques are primarily limited to reporting on the vegetation classes and properties of the i...

Tropical peatland vegetation structure and biomass: optimal exploitation of airborne laser scanning (2018)
Journal Article
Brown, C., Boyd, D., Sjögersten, S., Clewley, D., Evers, S., & Aplin, P. (2018). Tropical peatland vegetation structure and biomass: optimal exploitation of airborne laser scanning. Remote Sensing, 10(5), Article 671. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10050671

Accurate estimation of above ground biomass (AGB) is required to better understand the variability and dynamics of tropical peat swamp forest (PSF) ecosystem function and resilience to disturbance events. The objective of this work is to examine the... Read More about Tropical peatland vegetation structure and biomass: optimal exploitation of airborne laser scanning.

Automated classification metrics for energy modelling of residential buildings in the UK with open algorithms (2018)
Journal Article
Beck, A., Long, G., Boyd, D. S., Rosser, J. F., Morley, J., Duffield, R., Sanderson, M., & Robinson, D. (2020). Automated classification metrics for energy modelling of residential buildings in the UK with open algorithms.

Increasing the accuracy of crowdsourced information on land cover via a voting procedure weighted by information inferred from the contributed data (2018)
Journal Article
Foody, G., See, L., Fritz, S., Moorthy, I., Perger, C., Schill, C., & Boyd, D. (2018). Increasing the accuracy of crowdsourced information on land cover via a voting procedure weighted by information inferred from the contributed data. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 7(3), https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi7030080

Simple consensus methods are often used in crowdsourcing studies to label cases when data are provided by multiple contributors. A basic majority vote rule is often used. This approach weights the contributions from each contributor equally but the c...
