Relationships between phenology, radiation and precipitation in the Amazon region (2011)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. V., Gerard, F. F., Barbier, N., Weedon, G. P., Anderson, L. O., Huntingford, C., …Arai, E. (2011). Relationships between phenology, radiation and precipitation in the Amazon region. Global Change Biology, 17(6), 2245-2260. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2486.2011.02405.x

In tropical areas, Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) still have deficiencies in simulating the timing of vegetation phenology. To start addressing this problem, standard Fourier-based methods are applied to aerosol screened monthly remotely se...

A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant (2011)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. J., Breen, J., Payne, B., & Green, M. J. (2011). A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant. Journal of Dairy Science, 94(2), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2010-3192

The dry period is a critical time in the lactation cycle, offering the optimum time for cure of existing intramammary infection (IMI), while also encompassing the periods of highest susceptibility to new intramammary infection. Until recent years, in... Read More about A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant.

Management interventions in dairy herds: exploring within herd uncertainty using an integrated Bayesian model (2009)
Journal Article
Green, M. J., Medley, G. F., Bradley, A. J., & Browne, W. J. (2009). Management interventions in dairy herds: exploring within herd uncertainty using an integrated Bayesian model. Veterinary Research, 41(2), Article Article 22. https://doi.org/10.1051/vetres/2009070

Knowledge of the efficacy of an intervention for disease control on an individual farm is essential to make good decisions on preventive healthcare, but the uncertainty in outcome associated with undertaking a specific control strategy has rarely b...

Bayesian analysis of a mastitis control plan to investigate the influence of veterinary prior beliefs on clinical interpretation (2009)
Journal Article
Green, M. J., Browne, W. J., Green, L., Bradley, A. J., Leach, K., Breen, J., & Medley, G. F. (2009). Bayesian analysis of a mastitis control plan to investigate the influence of veterinary prior beliefs on clinical interpretation. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 91(2-4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2009.05.029

The fundamental objective for health research is to determine whether changes should be made to clinical decisions. Decisions made by veterinary surgeons in the light of new research evidence are known to be influenced by their prior beliefs, especia...

Cow, farm, and herd management factors in the dry period associated with raised somatic cell counts in early lactation (2008)
Journal Article

Identification of typical eco-hydrological behaviours using InSAR allows landscape-scale mapping of peatland condition
Working Paper
Bradley, A. V., Andersen, R., Marshall, C., Sowter, A., & Large, D. J. Identification of typical eco-hydrological behaviours using InSAR allows landscape-scale mapping of peatland condition

Better tools for rapid and reliable assessment of global peatland extent and condition are urgently needed to support action to prevent their further decline. Peatland surface motion is a response to changes in the water and gas content of a peat bod...
