Understanding the energy demand of a city’s housing stock is an important focus for local and national administrations to identify strategies for reducing carbon emissions. Building energy simulation offers a promising approach to understand energy u... Read More about Modelling Urban Housing Stocks for Building Energy Simulation using CityGML EnergyADE.

Spatial-temporal super-resolution land cover mapping with a local spatial-temporal dependence model (2019)
Journal Article
Li, X., Ling, F., Foody, G. M., Ge, Y., Zhang, Y., Wang, L., Shi, L., Li, X., & Du, Y. (2019). Spatial-temporal super-resolution land cover mapping with a local spatial-temporal dependence model. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 57(7), 4951-4966. https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2019.2894773

The mixed pixel problem is common in remote sensing. A soft classification can generate land cover class fraction images that illustrate the areal proportions of the various land cover classes within pixels. The spatial distribution of land cover cla... Read More about Spatial-temporal super-resolution land cover mapping with a local spatial-temporal dependence model.

A spatially-restricted Younger Dryas plateau icefield in the Gaick, Scotland: Reconstruction and palaeoclimatic implications (2019)
Journal Article

Considerable research has been conducted in Scotland to reconstruct Younger Dryas glaciers and palaeoclimatic conditions, but our understanding remains incomplete. In this contribution, we examine the Gaick, a dissected plateau that extends over ∼520...

Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests (2019)
Journal Article
Mariani, M., Fletcher, M.-S., Haberle, S., Chin, H., Zawadzki, A., & Jacobsen, G. (2019). Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests. Global Change Biology, 25(6), 2030-2042. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14609

Climate change is affecting the distribution of species and the functioning of ecosystems. For species that are slow growing and poorly dispersed, climate change can force a lag between the distributions of species and the geographic distributions of...

Global impact models represent process-level understanding of how natural and human systems may be affected by climate change. Their projections are used in integrated assessments of climate change. Here we test, for the first time, systematically ac... Read More about State-of-the-art global models underestimate impacts from climate extremes.

Super-resolution land cover mapping by deep learning (2019)
Journal Article

Super-resolution mapping (SRM) is a technique to estimate a fine spatial resolution land cover map from coarse spatial resolution fractional proportion images. SRM is often based explicitly on the use of a spatial pattern model that represents the la... Read More about Super-resolution land cover mapping by deep learning.

Background

Low levels of physical activity (PA) and high levels of sedentary behaviour (SB) have been observed in young people. Both behaviours are detrimental for health with patterns tending to continue into adulthood. There is sustained value i...
