Aerial and underwater imaging is being widely used for monitoring litter objects found at the sea surface, beaches and seafloor. However, litter monitoring requires a considerable amount of human effort, indicating the need for automatic and cost-eff...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hazardous compounds associated with respiratory disease and lung cancer. Increasing fossil fuel consumption, which causes climate change, has accelerated the emissions of PAHs. However, potential risks by P...
In agriculture, early detection of plant stresses is advantageous in preventing crop yield losses. Remote sensors are increasingly being utilized for crop health monitoring, offering non-destructive, spatialized detection and the quantification of pl...
Instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) are intelligent electronic sensing tools for which the primary application is the generation of odour metrics that are indicators of odour as perceived by human observers. The quality of the odour sensor s...

In the current research, the efficiency of a solar flat plate collector (SFPC) was examined experimentally, while the system was modeled with an artificial neural network (ANN) under semi-arid weather conditions of Rafsanjan, Iran. Based on the backp...
Offshore oil and gas platforms have a finite life of production operations. Once production ceases, decommissioning options for the platform are assessed. The role that a platform's jacket plays as fish habitat can inform the decommissioning decision...

Suspended sediment load is a substantial portion of the total sediment load in rivers and plays a vital role in determination of the service life of the downstream dam. To this end, estimation models are needed to compute suspended sediment load in r...
Unravelling the secrets of wild animals is one of the biggest challenges in ecology, with bio-logging (i.e., the use of animal-borne loggers or bio-loggers) playing a pivotal role in tackling this challenge. Bio-logging allows us to observe many aspe...
Reliable estimates of outdoor air pollution concentrations are needed to support global actions to improve public health. We developed a new approach to estimating annual average outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO) concentrations using approximately 20,000...
