Monitoring desertification in south west Tripoli using multi-temporal remotely sensing data and GIS
Remotely sensed data has potential value for vegetation change detection and mapping in arid/semi-arid environments, which can be used and analysed to extract information relevant to the understanding of useful information for the study of desert environments and desertification monitoring, …

Remotely sensing motion: the use of multiple biologging technologies to detect fine-scale, at-sea behaviour of breeding seabirds in a variable Southern Ocean environment
The at-sea behaviour of seabirds, such as albatrosses and petrels (order Procellariiformes), is difficult to study because they spend most of their time on the ocean and have extremely large ranges. In the early 2000s, behavioural studies of seabirds were dominated by diving patterns of diving …

Improving the efficiency and accuracy of nocturnal bird Surveys through equipment selection and partial automation
… an area for bird numbers and activity, or in remotely sensing an area to determine potential risk. This thesis explores some practical and theoretical approaches that can improve the accuracy, confidence and efficiency of nocturnal bird surveillance. As image intensifiers and thermal imagers …

Geospatial Analyses of Seismic Hazards and Risk Perception in Libya
… active regions. The second article uses remotely-sensing images to identify seismogenic surface features in different locations in the country. Different geomorphic features are identified and classified through multi-scalar techniques and represent the crucial procedure in identifying …

Extreme imaging via physical model inversion : seeing around corners and imaging black holes
… These methods may be especially valuable in remotely sensing occupants in a room during search and rescue operations, or in detecting hidden, oncoming vehicles and/or pedestrians for collision avoidance systems.

A comparative analysis of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry for measuring fluvial sediments
… considerable success of LiDAR instruments in remotely sensing riverine landscapes, and the obvious benefits they offer – very high spatial and temporal resolution, rapid data acquisition, and minimal disturbance in the field – procurement of these apparatus and their respective computer …

Comparison study of SEASAT scatterometer and conventional wind fields
… models. Microwave scatterometry, as a means of remotely sensing surface wind information, developed in response to this requirement for a surface wind field with global coverage and improved spatial and temporal resolution. This development led to the 1978 deployment of the SEASAT Satellite …

Incorporating plant community structure in species distribution modelling: a species co-occurrence based composite approach
Species distribution models (SDM) with remotely sensed (RS) imagery is widely used in ecological studies and conservation planning, and the performance is frequently limited by factors including small plant size, small numbers of observations, and scattered distribution patterns. The focus of my …
