Iterative Training Sample Expansion to Increase and Balance the Accuracy of Land Classification from VHR Imagery (2020)
Journal Article
Lv, Z., Li, G., Jin, Z., Benediktsson, J. A., & Foody, G. M. (2021). Iterative Training Sample Expansion to Increase and Balance the Accuracy of Land Classification from VHR Imagery. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 59(1), 139-150. https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2020.2996064

© 1980-2012 IEEE. Imbalanced training sets are known to produce suboptimal maps for supervised classification. Therefore, one challenge in mapping land cover is acquiring training data that will allow classification with high overall accuracy (OA) in...

Quarantine encounters with digital animals: More-than-human geographies of lockdown life (2020)
Journal Article
Turnbull, J., Searle, A., & Adams, W. M. (2020). Quarantine encounters with digital animals: More-than-human geographies of lockdown life. Journal of Environmental Media, 1(Supplement 1), 6.1-6.10. https://doi.org/10.1386/jem_00027_1

Quarantine conditions led to the proliferation of digital encounters with nonhuman animals. Here, we explore three prominent forms: creaturely cameos, avatar acquaintances and background birding. These virtual encounters afforded during lockdown life... Read More about Quarantine encounters with digital animals: More-than-human geographies of lockdown life.

The high-latitude oceans are key areas of carbon and heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. As such, they are a focus of both modern oceanographic and palaeoclimate research. However, most palaeoclimate proxies that could provide a long-... Read More about The pH dependency of the boron isotopic composition of diatom opal (Thalassiosira weissflogii).

Science of the Total Environment, 736, Article 139679. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139679

There is growing evidence that river temperatures are increasing under climate change, which is expected to be exacerbated by increased abstractions to satisfy human water demands. Water temperature research has experienced crucial advances, both in...

Global Environmental Change, 63, Article 102102. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2020.102102

The continued rise of global disaster losses pushes our attention yet further to the causal factors that drive risks, beyond the frame of standardised risk assessment models. A key gap in our understanding of the causality of disasters remains establ...

This paper argues that we can view the Round Table Conference (three sittings between 1930-32) as an international organisation that re-assembled the technology of the colonial Indian state. The conference is traditionally associated with colonial an... Read More about Imperial Internationalism: The Round Table Conference and the Making of India in London, 1930–1932.
