Classifying ecosystems with metaproperties from terrestrial laser scanner data

In this study, we introduce metaproperty analysis of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) data, and demonstrate its application through several ecological classification problems. Metaproperty analysis considers pulse level and spatial metrics derived …

Quantifying Changes in Climate Variability and Extremes: Pitfalls and Their Overcoming

Hot temperature extremes have increased substantially in frequency and magnitude over past decades. A widely used approach to quantify this phenomenon is standardizing temperature data relative to the local mean and variability of a reference period. …
