Monitoring high spatiotemporal water dynamics by fusing MODIS, Landsat, water occurrence data and DEM (2021)
Journal Article
Li, X., Ling, F., Foody, G. M., Boyd, D. S., Jiang, L., Zhang, Y., …Du, Y. (2021). Monitoring high spatiotemporal water dynamics by fusing MODIS, Landsat, water occurrence data and DEM. Remote Sensing of Environment, 265, Article 112680. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2021.112680

Monitoring the spatiotemporal dynamics of surface water from remote sensing imagery is essential for understanding water's impact on the global ecosystem and climate change. There is often a tradeoff between the spatial and temporal resolutions of im... Read More about Monitoring high spatiotemporal water dynamics by fusing MODIS, Landsat, water occurrence data and DEM.

Disentangling controls on animal abundance: Prey availability, thermal habitat, and microhabitat structure (2021)
Journal Article
Higgins, E. A., Boyd, D. S., Brown, T. W., Owen, S. C., & Algar, A. C. (2021). Disentangling controls on animal abundance: Prey availability, thermal habitat, and microhabitat structure. Ecology and Evolution, 11(16), 11414-11424. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7930

The question of what controls animal abundance has always been fundamental to ecology, but given rapid environmental change, understanding the drivers and mechanisms governing abundance is more important than ever. Here, we determine how multidimensi... Read More about Disentangling controls on animal abundance: Prey availability, thermal habitat, and microhabitat structure.

Detection of spatial and temporal patterns of liana infestation using satellite-derived imagery (2021)
Journal Article
Chandler, C. J., van der Heijden, G. M., Boyd, D. S., & Foody, G. M. (2021). Detection of spatial and temporal patterns of liana infestation using satellite-derived imagery. Remote Sensing, 13(14), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs13142774

Lianas (woody vines) play a key role in tropical forest dynamics because of their strong influence on tree growth, mortality and regeneration. Assessing liana infestation over large areas is critical to understand the factors that drive their spatial...
