The collection of high-quality field measurements of ground cover is critical for calibration and validation of fractional ground cover maps derived from satellite imagery. Field-based hyperspectral ground cover sampling is a potential alternative to traditional in situ techniques. This study aimed to develop an effective sampling design for spectr...

Remotely sensed ground cover maps are routinely validated using field data collected by observers who classify ground cover into defined categories such as photosynthetic vegetation (PV), non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV), bare soil (BS), and rock. There is an element of subjectivity to the classification of PV and NPV, and classifications may di...

Software and data availability: Data sets used for models developing presented in this paper have been published in Research Data Australia (RDA) under the title of "Impacts of catchment properties on DOM and nutrients in waters from drinking water catchments".1 These data sets are available in open access and published in June 2017. A catchment m...

Mosquito-borne diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A significant obstacle to reducing the burden of these diseases is identifying where and when mosquito infection rates are highest. Honey-baited FTA cards have recently emerged as a sensitive and flexible technique for detecting arboviruses that are circulating in a giv...
