Landscape perception: linking physical monitoring data to perceived landscape properties

From Environment to Landscape. Reconstructing Environment Perception Using Numerical Data

The paper introduces a method that links environment to landscape. The environment-landscape divide appears because of epistemological differences: since studying the landscape involves describing the world as it was perceived by humans, it is difficult to access this dimension through the numerical data that we employ when studying the environment. We approach the issue of non-correspondence b...

Tailoring Mutation to Landscape Properties

We present numerical results on Kau man's NK landscape family indicating that the optimal distance at which to search for tter variants depends on both the current tness and the sampling that can be a orded at each distance. The optimal search distance from average tness con gurations is large to escape local correlation limits and decreases as tness increases. An analytic derivation of the opt...

Linking landscape ecology and management to population viability analysis

Monitoring Environmental Quality at the Landscape Scale Using landscape indicators to assess biotic diversity, watershed integrity, and landscape stability

ver the past century, technological advances have greatly improved the standard of living in the United States. But these same advances have caused sweeping environmental changes, often unforeseen and potentially irreparable. Ethical stewardship of the environment requires that society monitor and assess environmental changes at the national scale with a view toward the conservation and wise ma...

Big Data Landscape

“Big Data” has become a major source of innovation across enterprises of all sizes .Data is being produced at an ever increasing rate. This growth in data production is driven by increased use of media, fast developing organizations, proliferation of web and systems connected to it. Having a lot of data is one thing, being able to store it, analyze it and visualize it in real time environment i...
