Ecocultural monitoring reveals low impact of a Dharug dhiyina (women’s) guwiyang (fire) in an urban national park, Australia Open
Indigenous-led fire stewardship is increasingly recognised as important for ecological and cultural resilience; however, remains rare in urban landscapes due to regulatory barriers, fear and risk aversion. This study aligned with the first…
Estimating Urban Linear Heat (UHIULI) Effect Along Road Typologies Using Spatial Analysis and GAM Approach Open
The urban heat island (UHI) effect significantly impacts urban environments, particularly along roads, a phenomenon known as urban linear heat (UHIULI). Numerous factors contribute to roads influencing the UHIULI; however, effective mitiga…
A Hybrid AI-Fuzzy Decision Support Framework for UAV-Based Durability Assessment of Civil Infrastructure Open
This study proposes a hybrid fuzzy decision-support framework for assessing the durability of soil and water conservation structures using UAV-acquired imagery. To address the inherent uncertainty and variability in visual inspections, a f…
Not All Edible Nuts Are Eaten: Evidence for Continued Aboriginal Cultural Use and Dispersal of Bunya Pine (<i>Araucaria bidwillii</i>) in Southern But Not in Northern Queensland Open
Globally, there is increasing evidence that Indigenous peoples have manipulated plant and animal populations over millennia. The Bunya Pine ( Araucaria bidwillii Hook.) is a coniferous tree native to subtropical and tropical eastern Austra…

Image Texture Analysis Enhances Classification of Fire Extent and Severity Using Sentinel 1 and 2 Satellite Imagery Open
Accurate and reliable mapping of fire extent and severity is critical for assessing the impact of fire on vegetation and informing post-fire recovery trajectories. Classification approaches that combine pixel-wise and neighbourhood statist…
Geodetic Monitoring for Land Deformation Open
Land deformation is a pervasive hazard that could lead to serious problems, for example, increasing risk of flooding in coastal areas, damaging buildings and infrastructures, destructing groundwater systems, generating tension cracks on la…
Measuring Sand Dune Dynamics in the Badain Jaran Desert, China, Using Multitemporal Landsat Imagery Open
The Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) and surrounding deserts are the main sources of sand and dust storms in Asia. However, for complex factors, the descriptions of the sand dune dynamics in the BJD and investigations on the contribution of the B…
Identifying Invasive Weed Species in Alpine Vegetation Communities Based on Spectral Profiles Open
This study examined the use of hyperspectral profiles for identifying three selected weed species in the alpine region of New South Wales, Australia. The targeted weeds included Orange Hawkweed, Mouse-ear Hawkweed and Ox-eye daisy, which h…
Mapping Canopy Chlorophyll Content in a Temperate Forest Using Airborne Hyperspectral Data Open
Chlorophyll content, as the primary pigment driving photosynthesis, is directly affected by many natural and anthropogenic disturbances and stressors. Accurate and timely estimation of canopy chlorophyll content (CCC) is essential for effe…

Paleolithic artifact deposits at Wadi Dabsa, Saudi Arabia: A multiscalar geoarchaeological approach to building an interpretative framework Open
Surface artifacts dominate the archaeological record of arid landscapes, particularly the Saharo‐Arabian belt, a pivotal region in dispersals out of Africa. Discarded by hominins, these artifacts are key to understanding past landscape use…

Forest Fire Occurrence and Modeling in Southeastern Australia Open
Forest fire is one of the major environmental disturbances for the Australian continent. Identification of occurrence patterns of large fires, fire mapping, determination of fire spreading mechanisms, and fire effect modeling are some of t…
Detecting myrtle rust ( <i>Austropuccinia psidii</i> ) on lemon myrtle trees using spectral signatures and machine learning Open
Hundreds of species in one of Australia's dominant plant families, the Myrtaceae, are at risk from the invasive pathogenic fungus Austropuccinia psidii . Since its arrival in Australia in 2010, native plant communities have been severely a…
COMPARISON OF VERY NEAR INFRARED (VNIR) WAVELENGTH FROM EO-1 HYPERION AND WORLDVIEW 2 IMAGES FOR SALTMARSH CLASSIFICATION Open
Saltmarsh is one of the important communities of wetlands. Due to a range of pressures, it has been declared as an EEC (Ecological Endangered Community) in Australia. In order to correctly identify different saltmarsh species, development …
