Aerospace mapping of the status and position of northern forest limit
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)We study changes in the position of the northern forest limit and state of vegetation in the taiga-tundra ecotone through aerial and satellite imagery in the context of climate variability and of the projected advance of ... -
Evaluating cumulative effects of small scale hydropower development using GIS modelling and representativeness assessments
(Journal article, 2020)Assessing cumulative effects are a vital task for strategic environmental assessments (SEA) but lack of consistent methodology has hampered the development and implementation of useful tools. We present a model for GIS and ... -
High-resolution modeling of uplift landscapes can inform micrositing of wind turbines for soaring raptors
(Journal article, 2020)Collision risk of soaring birds is partly associated with updrafts to which they are attracted. To ident ify the risk-enhancinglandscape features, a micrositing tool was developed to model orographic and thermal updraft ... -
Is green space associated with reduced crime? A national-scale study from the Global South
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Assumptions about the link between green space and crime mitigation are informed by literature that overwhelmingly originates in the Global North. Little is known about the association between green spaces and crime in the ... -
Methods for landscape characterisation and mapping: A systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Due to the multidisciplinary nature of landscape research, many different systems and methods for landscape identification and classification exist. This paper provides a systematic review of 54 contemporary landscape ... -
Towards a systematics of ecodiversity: The EcoSyst framework
(Journal article, 2020)Background Although a standard taxonomy of organisms has existed for nearly 300 years, no consensus has yet been reached on principles for systematization of ecological diversity (i.e., the co‐ordinated variation of abiotic ...
