A novel GIS-based ensemble technique for flood susceptibility mapping using evidential belief function and support vector machine: Brisbane, Australia
"The ensemble method proposed in this work can help to improve the accuracy of flood susceptibility maps."
Marco Cavalli, Handling Editor
Expanding walls and shrinking beaches: loss of natural coastline in Okinawa Island, Japan
"This innovative study used GIS and remote sensing technologies to measure the extension of coastline alterations in Okinawa, Japan, over the last 50 years. This approach offers great values for conservation efforts and coastal planning."
Xavier Pochon, Handling Editor
Rapid response to anthropogenic climate change by Thuja occidentalis: implications for past climate reconstructions and future climate predictions
"The paper deals with the various proxies that can be used to examine climate change, as well as the effects climate change has had and will have on extinct and extant floras. This paper will generate a lot of interest and debate and should be well cited in the sure to be extensive future literature on this very important topic."
Bruce Lieberman, Handling Editor
Measuring the dispersion of rainfall using Bayesian confidence intervals for coefficient of variation of delta-lognormal distribution: a study from Thailand
"Readers will be interested in this article"
Jianhua Xu, Handling Editor
Geographic context affects the landscape change and fragmentation caused by wind energy facilities
"It quantifies what we know qualitatively about siting wind farms, and will be of interest to researchers and industry"
Roger Jones, Handling Editor
Herbivore corridors sustain genetic footprint in plant populations: a case for Spanish drove roads
"Important contribution highlighting the importance of herbivore corridors and mobile pastoralism for reducing inbreeding levels and facilitating long-distance dispersal in plants."
Rodolfo Jaffé, Handling Editor
Evaluation of extracellular polymeric substances extracted from waste activated sludge as a renewable corrosion inhibitor
"The application of EPS for anti-corrosion application is quite new."
Ning Yan, Handling Editor
Effect of insecticide formulation and adjuvant combination on agricultural spray drift
"Spray drift is an important issue currently. While most of the recent data has been for herbicides, it is good that insecticide drift is also being addressed."
Todd Anderson, Handling Editor
Vehicle emission and atmospheric pollution in China: problems, progress, and prospects
"This review summarizes the impacts of vehicle emissions on air quality in China, the existing countermeasurers, and the future prospects, providings an important reference for control of air pollution caused by traffic sources in developing contries."
Xinfeng Wang, Handling Editor
Combining UAV-based hyperspectral imagery and machine learning algorithms for soil moisture content monitoring
"Significant improvements in estimation of soil moisture distributions in space and time from remotely-sensed data can have a major impact on agricultural management. This application of machine learning demonstrates this level of improvement."
