Sentence examples for mapping of locust from inspiring English sources

Having just graduated with an MA Hons from the University of Edinburgh, she had joined the Anti-Locust Research Centre (ALRC) in London, as a junior member of the geographical section, which had pioneered the mapping of locust records in order to identify outbreak areas and compare seasonal changes in locust occurrence.

However, due to considerable temporal heterogeneity of rainfall in drylands, mapping of locust habitats in semidesert and desert environments without taking into account the intra-annual and interannual rainfall dynamics has had only limited success (Latchininsky and others 2007).

Modern monitoring of the locust hazard, based on remote-sensing techniques, enables mapping of locust habitats, postdamage assessment, and observation of locust population dynamics at the scales from local to national (Latchininsky & Sivanpillai 2010).

Commonly, multitemporal mapping of locust habitats and damage assessment, satellite-derived vegetation indices (VIs) have been used for capturing phenological changes of different vegetation classes (Sivanpillai & Latchininsky 2007; Zha and others 2005).

A number of studies showed suitability of the NDVI time-series for monitoring the dynamics of insect populations, mapping of locust habitats, and damage assessment (Tratalos & Cheke 2006; Thomson & Connor 2000; Despland and others 2004; Li and others 2005; Zha and others 2005).

Instead, using well-established approaches for remote sensing based mapping of locust habitats using single-date (Sivanpillai and others 2006; Ma and others 2005) or multitemporal data (Sivanpillai & Latchininsky 2007), the present study strived to make a contribution to current literature through the introduction and testing of a novel monitoring technique.

Commonly, the result of such studies is a single map of potential locust habitats based on satellite data classification (Latchininsky and others 2007; Latchininsky and Sivanpillai 2010; Sivanpillai and others 2006).

For this purpose, the 10-day time series of the NDVI, derived from SPOT-VGT satellite, was used for mapping potential locust habitats and monitoring their area during the period from 1998 though 2007.

Monitoring of locust hazard and the assessment of regions after damage have great importance with respect to recent efforts toward mapping carbon sequestration in the drylands of Kazakhstan (Propastin and others 2012).

Of Locust Valley, Long Island.

The mayor warned of "locust" investors.
