  • Is Neolithic land use correlated with demography? An evaluation of pollen-der...

    "Jutta Lechterbeck, Kevan Edinborough, Tim Kerig, Ralph Fyfe, Neil Roberts, Stephen Shennan Stephen Shennan"

    The transformation of natural landscapes in Middle Europe began in the Neolithic as a result of the introduction of food-producing economies. This paper examines the relation...
  • Assessing different remote sensing techniques to detect land use/cover change...

    S.Berberoglu, A.Akin

    This paper describes different change detection techniques, including image differencing, image rationing, image regression and change vector analysis (CVA) to assess their...
  • Nighttime light data reveal how flood protection shapes human proximity to ri...

    Johanna Mård, Giuliano Di Baldassarre, Maurizio Mazzoleni

    To understand the spatiotemporal changes of flood risk, we need to determine the way in which humans adapt and respond to flood events. One adaptation option consists of...
  • Correlations between Urbanization and Vegetation Degradation across the World...

    Yanxu Liu, Yanglin Wang, Jain Peng, Yueyue Du, Xianfeng Liu, Shuangshuang Li, Donghai Zhang

    Changes in biodiversity owing to vegetation degradation resulting from widespread urbanization demands serious attention. However, the connection between vegetation degradation...
  • Using luminosity data as a proxy for economic statistics

    Xi Chen, William Nordhaus

    One of the pervasive issues in social and environmental research has been to improve the quality of socioeconomic data in developing countries. Because of the shortcoming of...
  • Improved Estimates of Using Luminosity as a Proxy for Economic Statistics: Ne...

    William Nordhaus, Xi Chen

    Previous work has analyzed whether luminosity data contain useful information for estimating economic output and concluded that there was significant promise for regions with...
