Journal Article
Sowter, A., Athab, A., Novellino, A., Grebby, S., & Gee, D. (in press). Supporting energy regulation by monitoring land motion on a regional and national scale: a case study of Scotland. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, https://doi.org/10.1177/0957650917737225

The advent of new satellite and data processing techniques have meant that routine, operational and reliable surveys of land motion on a regional and national scale are now possible. In this paper, we apply a novel satellite remote sensing technique,...

Evaluating the use of an object-based approach to lithological mapping in vegetated terrain (2016)
Journal Article
Grebby, S., Field, E., & Tansey, K. (2016). Evaluating the use of an object-based approach to lithological mapping in vegetated terrain. Remote Sensing, 8(10), 1-20. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs8100843

Remote sensing-based approaches to lithological mapping are traditionally pixel-oriented, with classification performed on either a per-pixel or sub-pixel basis with complete disregard for contextual information about neighbouring pixels. However, in... Read More about Evaluating the use of an object-based approach to lithological mapping in vegetated terrain.

A machine learning approach to geochemical mapping (2016)
Journal Article
Kirkwood, C., Cave, M., Beamish, D., Grebby, S., & Ferreira, A. (2016). A machine learning approach to geochemical mapping. Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 167, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gexplo.2016.05.003

Geochemical maps provide invaluable evidence to guide decisions on issues of mineral exploration, agriculture, and environmental health. However, the high cost of chemical analysis means that the ground sampling density will always be limited. Tradit... Read More about A machine learning approach to geochemical mapping.

Hydrothermal activity recorded in post Noachian-aged impact craters on Mars (2016)
Journal Article
Turner, S. M., Bridges, J. C., Grebby, S., & Ehlmann, B. L. (2016). Hydrothermal activity recorded in post Noachian-aged impact craters on Mars. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 121(4), https://doi.org/10.1002/2015JE004989

Hydrothermal systems have previously been reported in ancient Noachian and Hesperian-aged craters on Mars using CRISM but not in Amazonian-aged impact craters. However, the nakhlite meteorites do provide evidence of Amazonian hydrothermal activity. T... Read More about Hydrothermal activity recorded in post Noachian-aged impact craters on Mars.

Speleothem U-series constraints on scarp retreat rates and landscape evolution: an example from the Severn valley and Cotswold Hills gull-caves, UK (2014)
Journal Article
Farrant, A. R., Noble, S. R., Barron, A. M., Self, C. A., & Grebby, S. (2014). Speleothem U-series constraints on scarp retreat rates and landscape evolution: an example from the Severn valley and Cotswold Hills gull-caves, UK. Journal of the Geological Society, 172, https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2014-028

Modelling landscape evolution requires quantitative estimates of erosional processes. Dating erosional landscape features such as escarpments is usually difficult because of the lack of datable deposits. Some escarpments and valley margins are associ...

The impact of vegetation on lithological mapping using airborne multispectral data: a case study for the North Troodos Region, Cyprus (2014)
Journal Article
Grebby, S., Cunningham, D., Tansey, K., & Naden, J. (2014). The impact of vegetation on lithological mapping using airborne multispectral data: a case study for the North Troodos Region, Cyprus. Remote Sensing, 6(11), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs61110860

Vegetation cover can affect the lithological mapping capability of space- and airborne instruments because it obscures the spectral signatures of the underlying geological substrate. Despite being widely accepted as a hindrance, few studies have expl...

Change in urban land use and impervious surface cover are valuable sources of information for determining the environmental impacts of urban development. However, our understanding of these impacts is limited due to the general lack of historical dat... Read More about Mapping long-term temporal change in imperviousness using topographic maps.
