The toolkit is based on the conceptual framework from:

Phinn, S.R. (1998) A Framework for Selecting Appropriate Remotely Sensed Data Dimensions For Environmental Monitoring and Management. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 19(17): 3457-3463.

Phinn, S., Stow, D., Franklin, J., Mertes, L. and Michaelsen, J. (2003) Remotely sensed data for ecosystem analyses: Combining hierarchy and scene models, Environmental Management, 31(3):429-441.

The framework was then developed in previous research by the first two authors

Phinn, S.R. , Menges, C. , Hill, G.J.E. and Stanford, M. (2000) Optimising remotely sensed solutions for monitoring, modelling and managing coastal environments, Remote Sensing of Environment, 73(2):117-132.
