DOI: 10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2020.08.023
Abstract: Abstract One main challenge in detecting built-up land cover changes using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments is that complicated backscattering behaviours and the superimposition of speckles on rich textures cause a large number of false… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288233.2018.1430590
Abstract: ABSTRACT With increasing pressure on versatile land for development, the odds appear stacked against protecting this diminishing resource. Unlike development, however, certain food provision is limited to versatile land. In deciding where development and preservation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biac075
Abstract: Abstract A hallmark of the media publicity surrounding COVID-19 has been the message that land change causes zoonotic diseases to spill over from wild animals to humans. The secondary peer-reviewed literature sends a similar message.… read more here.
