When worlds collide: combining Ordnance Survey and Open Street Map data (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Anand, S., Morley, J., Jiang, W., Du, H., Hart, G., & Jackson, M. (2010). When worlds collide: combining Ordnance Survey and Open Street Map data.

The context of this paper is the progress of national and international spatial data infrastructures such as the UK Location Programme and INSPIRE, contrasted against crowd-sourced geospatial databases such as Open Street Map. While initiatives such... Read More about When worlds collide: combining Ordnance Survey and Open Street Map data.

Assessing the accuracy of land cover change with imperfect ground reference data (2010)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2010). Assessing the accuracy of land cover change with imperfect ground reference data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 114(10), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2010.05.003

The ground data used as a reference in the validation of land cover change products are often not an ideal gold standard but degraded by error. The effects of ground reference data error on the accuracy of land cover change detection and the accuracy...

Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM (2010)
Journal Article
Pal, M., & Foody, G. M. (2010). Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 48(5), https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2009.2039484

SVM are attractive for the classification of remotely sensed data with some claims that the method is insensitive to the dimensionality of the data and so not requiring a dimensionality reduction analysis in pre-processing. Here, a series of classifi... Read More about Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM.

A comparison of the Si/Al and Si/time wet-alkaline digestion methods for measurement of biogenic silica in lake sediments (2010)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E. (2010). A comparison of the Si/Al and Si/time wet-alkaline digestion methods for measurement of biogenic silica in lake sediments. Journal of Paleolimnology, 44(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-009-9308-9

Existing techniques for measuring sediment Biogenic Silica (BSi) concentrations rely largely on conventional (Si-only) wet-alkaline digestion methods. Although results have provided detailed palaeoenvironmental information, potential errors can arise...

Salinity changes in the North West Pacific Ocean during the late Pliocene/early Quaternary from 2.73 Ma to 2.52 Ma (2010)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E. (2010). Salinity changes in the North West Pacific Ocean during the late Pliocene/early Quaternary from 2.73 Ma to 2.52 Ma. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 297(1-2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2010.06.035

Recent research has increasingly advocated a role for the North Pacific Ocean in modulating global climatic changes over both the last glacial cycle and further back into the geological record. Here a diatom δ18O record is presented from Ocean Drilli... Read More about Salinity changes in the North West Pacific Ocean during the late Pliocene/early Quaternary from 2.73 Ma to 2.52 Ma.

Governing prostitution in colonial Delhi: from cantonment regulations to international hygiene (1864-1939) (2009)
Journal Article
Legg, S. (in press). Governing prostitution in colonial Delhi: from cantonment regulations to international hygiene (1864-1939). Social History, 34(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/03071020903257018

This article explores the social and governmental geographies of colonial Delhi, India. It seeks contrasts and comparisons between two periods in the city's history. The first period is delimited by the ‘Mutiny’ of 1857 and the transfer of the capita...

This paper introduces the special issue 'organisational geographies of power' by examining the theoretical and empirical context for debates. It does this, firstly, with reference to existing theoretical work on what power is and does as well as work... Read More about Organisational geographies of power: Introduction to special issue.

'City of London, City of Learning'? Placing business education within the geographies of finance (2009)
Journal Article
Hall, S., & Appleyard, L. (2009). 'City of London, City of Learning'? Placing business education within the geographies of finance. Journal of Economic Geography, 9(5), 597-617. https://doi.org/10.1093/jeg/lbp026

The role of highly skilled financiers in shaping the spatialities of financial systems has been widely studied by social scientists. However, comparatively less attention has been paid to the growing use of business education to (re)produce 'highly s... Read More about 'City of London, City of Learning'?
