A Deep Learning Framework for Investigating Spatio-temporal Evolution of Land Use and Land Cover Patterns
… patterns. At present, the understanding of the spatio-temporal evolution of LULC patterns is heavily constrained by the lack of efficient and precise methods of mapping and predicting LULC changes, particularly for the areas that have few established data sources. The main aim of the research is …

Ocean-surface heterogeneity mapping: exploiting hypertemporal datasets in support of seascape ecology research
… and monitoring. However, with increases in the temporal frequency of imagery, a greater diversity of ocean surface features can be studied, modelled, and understood in terms of their development over time. This research examines the interface between oceanography, marine ecology, and remote …

Temporal interactions with flamingo foraging plasticity: ecological effects on basal resources and benthic heterogeneity
… consequences for benthic community structure, heterogeneity and ecosystem functioning have been limited in marine soft-sediments. Temporal interactions with foraging plasticity is an even greater knowledge gap. The primary goal of this dissertation was to expand on current understanding of …

Flamingo foraging plasticity: ecological drivers and impacts
… prey assemblages and its importance in enhancing spatio-temporal heterogeneity in intertidal sandflats. The study also emphasizes the need to incorporate foraging plasticity into current thinking and conceptual models of predation in marine soft sediments, in order to appreciate the full spectrum …

Physical and Biological Drivers of Wetlandscape Biogeochemistry
… wetlandscape an ideal ecosystem to understand spatio-temporal heterogeneity and drivers of biogeochemistry. In this dissertation, I demonstrate that water chemistry within the Delmarva wetlandscape is heterogeneous both within and between surface water and groundwater systems (Chapter 2). …

Abyssal polychaete assemblages along latitudinal gradients of productivity in the equatorial Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans
… the result of increased productivity, increased spatio-temporal heterogeneity and increased sediment heterogeneity at these sites. An increase in species diversity at phytodetrital Atlantic sites was not observed. The differences between north Atlantic and central Pacific sites were attributed to …

Impacts of host biology on the urban eco-epidemiology of West Nile virus
… ecology of vectors and hosts for understanding spatio-temporal heterogeneity in disease transmission, as significant time-lags may occur between host or vector exposure and detectable infection.
