Multiple major coastal cities face the threat of sea level rise with global climate change. This vulnerability can be further exacerbated by local contexts of urbanization and flood management. Land subsidence caused by groundwater over-extraction ha...
The development of a monitoring system for the socio-economic indicators of private forest owners includes the comprehensive collection of various socio-economic data. These data encompass general information about private forests owners, the need fo...
A well-performing data-driven sparse sensor deployment strategy is critical for marine monitoring systems, as it enables the optimal reconstruction of marine physical quantities with fewer sensors. However, ocean data typically contain substantial am...
An effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework helps vaccination programme managers determine progress and effectiveness for agreed indicators against clear benchmarks and targets. We aimed to identify the literature on M&E frameworks...
The monitoring of pavements along roads is generally based on the use of indicators directly derived from measurements. More specifically, the bearing capacity of pavements is often simply deduced from either the maximum deflection value measured or...
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is both a continuation to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and an improvement on the addition of ‘means of implementation’ to achieve the goals. The SDGs recognize that countries should have their own w...
There is growing concern about the sustainability of freshwater ecosystems in northern Canada that are under significant stress from climate change, resource development, and hydroelectric development, among others. Community-based monitoring (CBM) b...
The development of health indicators (HI) of diagnostic and prognostic potential from generally uninformative raw sensor data is both a challenge and an essential feature for data-driven diagnostics and prognostics of composite structures. In this st...
Deep learning approaches based on autoencoders have been widely used for structural monitoring. Traditional approaches of autoencoders based on reconstruction errors involve limitations, since they do not exploit their hierarchical nature, and only h...
This article shows how sustainability indicators (SIs) which have proliferated, and downscaled planetary boundaries (DPBs) which have recently emerged, can be used to target remedial interventions. I offer an integrative analysis drawing upon the exi...
Several researchers have tried to find relationships between acoustic indices and vocal animal communities to use acoustic indices as a passive monitoring method, as human-derived surveys are expensive, time-consuming, and suffer from observer bias....
