The phrase "a footprint analysis" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to environmental studies, digital forensics, or any field where analyzing the impact or trace of something is relevant.
Example: "The researchers conducted a footprint analysis to assess the environmental impact of the new construction project."
Alternatives: "impact assessment" or "trace analysis".
A footprint analysis was performed using the method of Stannard (1997, Eqn. (18), P382), showing that, at all three tower sites, approximately 99% of measured scalar fluxes originated within 500 m of the tower and approximately 97% originated with 250 m.
To substantiate the home cage observation that Mecp2−/y-EE mice movements were more coordinated than the movements of Mecp2−/y-SC mice, we compared their gait by a footprint analysis (figure 2B).
A footprint analysis was conducted to address the spatial representativeness of the measured fluxes.
As the site is composed by a heterogeneous vegetation cover, we have made a footprint analysis during the unstable and neutral conditions in order to determine the contribution of each source to the measured fluxes.
At specific points in time (week 1, 5 and 7) a footprinting analysis was done to measure the influence of OA and the treatment on stride length and step width of the animals.
We ran a forecast of our data center from a capacity perspective and a carbon footprint analysis last year.
In this paper, a carbon footprint analysis of two types of gypsum ranging from cradle to gate according to ISO 14067 is presented.
21 gait parameters were measured using a computerised footprint analysis system (DigiGait™).
Unfortunately, we lack detailed high-resolution spatial data (e.g. vegetation, soil) about small areas and patches within the sampled flux footprint in Neustift, which would be required for a meaningful footprint analysis.
They have already discussed in class the many things that can be learned at a crime scene through footprint analysis: How many people were present.
Differences between riparian habitats were assessed using nematode community identification and metabolic footprint analysis (a method that evaluates ecosystem functioning based on nematode biomass).
