• Chapter 6 - SfM photogrammetry for GeoArchaeology 

      Cucchiaro, Sara; Fallu, Daniel Joseph; Zhao, Pengzhi; Tarolli, Paolo; Brown, Antony (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-04-16)
      Geoarchaeological studies have benefits from new technological developments in remote-sensing technologies that have become an integral and important part of the archeological researches. In particular, structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry is one of the most successful emerging techniques in high-resolution topography (HRT) and provides exceptionally fast, low-cost, and easy three-dimensional ...
    • Ending the Cinderella status of terraces and lynchets in Europe: The geomorphology of agricultural terraces and implications for ecosystem services and climate adaptation 

      Brown, Antony; Fallu, Daniel Joseph; Walsh, Kevin; Cucchiaro, Sara; Tarolli, Paolo; Zhao, Pengzhi; Pears, Ben R.; Oost, Kristof; Snape, Lisa; Lang, Andreas; Albert, Rosa Maria; Alsos, Inger Greve; Waddington, Clive (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-20)
      Terraces and lynchets are ubiquitous worldwide and can provide increasingly important Ecosystem Services (ESs), which may be able to mitigate aspects of climate change. They are also a major cause of non-linearity between climate and erosion rates in agricultural systems as noted from alluvial and colluvial studies. New research in the ‘critical zone’ has shown that we must now treat soil production ...
    • European agricultural terraces and lynchets: from archaeological theory to heritage management 

      Brown, Antony; Walsh, Kevin; Fallu, Daniel Joseph; Cucchiaro, Sara; Tarolli, Paolo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-23)
      Terraces are highly productive, culturally distinctive socioecological systems. Although they form part of time/place-specific debates, terraces per se have been neglected – fields on slopes or landscape elements. We argue that this is due to mapping and dating problems, and lack of artefacts/ecofacts. However, new techniques can overcome some of these constraints, allowing us to re-engage with ...
    • Multiplatform-SfM and TLS Data Fusion for Monitoring Agricultural Terraces in Complex Topographic and Landcover Conditions 

      Cucchiaro, Sara; Fallu, Daniel Joseph; Zhang, He; Walsh, Kevin; Van Oost, Kristof; Brown, Antony; Tarolli, Paolo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-17)
      Agricultural terraced landscapes, which are important historical heritage sites (e.g., UNESCO or Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) sites) are under threat from increased soil degradation due to climate change and land abandonment. Remote sensing can assist in the assessment and monitoring of such cultural ecosystem services. However, due to the limitations imposed by rugged ...
