  1. 11. Implementing a multi-criteria GIS analysis and predictive modelling to locate Upper Palaeolithic decorated caves in the Périgord noir, France

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Benjamin Bernard Fabien Gérard Borgeais; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; MCDA; MCE; MCDM; MCA; predictive modelling; archaeology; decorated caves; Upper Palaeolithic; Périgord; Dordogne; Vézère; France; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Geographical Information Systems are a powerful tool for the processing of geographical data and can be used to implement predictive modelling for the purpose of archaeological research. The study presented here proposes a predictive model based on multi-criteria evaluation, and aims at analysing the parameters of known Upper Palaeolithic decorated caves in the Périgord noir, in southwest France.

  2. 12. Mussels in deep water with climate change: Spatial distribution of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) growth offshore in the French Mediterranean with respect to climate change scenario RCP 8.5 Long Term and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) using Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victoria Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Mediterranean; Mytilus galloprovincialis; Dynamic Energy Budget; DEB; growth rate; France; mussel cultivation; mussel farming; offshore; aquaculture; climate change; Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture; IMTA; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Victoria Persson Abstract Mussel cultivation is a sustainable type of food production that may help mitigate the nutritional needs of a future world population of 10-12 billion in 2100. The demand for mussels on the French market is increasing but the production is saturated due to a lack of space for expanding the cultivation close to shore. READ MORE

  3. 13. Optimizing the locations of bike-sharing stations using GPS-based trip data: A Spatio-temporal demand coverage approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Birkan Caliskan; [2022]
    Keywords : Geomatics; GIS; Bike-sharing; Genetic Algorithm; Location-allocation; Site selection; Optimization; Spatial Analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Shared micro-mobility services are increasingly embraced by cities around the world in recent years. Their benefits over other transportation modes in certain frames encourage traffic/urban planners, public authorities to establish such systems in urban areas. READ MORE

  4. 14. An Analysis of Spatially-enabled Mobile Decision Support Systems in a Collaborative Decision-Making Environment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Mark Overton; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; multi criteria decision analysis; mobile decision support system; route optimization; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The effectiveness of decision-making processes has been enhanced by integrating multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and geographic information system (GIS) methods to solve more complex spatial problems that were not possible to solve using conventional GIS methods. A spatial decision support system (SDSS) supports various stakeholders in the decision-making process, by processing data using GIS-MCDA methods. READ MORE

  5. 15. Mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect in a Local Context : how wind and vegetation regulate temperatures during summer, with an example from the grounds of Karlstad Central Hospital, Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Patricia Kirkhorn; [2022]
    Keywords : GIS; Envi-met; microclimate; climate change; vegetation; wind; city planning; urban heat island; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : Climate change is the cause of more weather extremes. Cities' dense configuration, heat absorbing surfaces and low amount of vegetation leads to higher temperatures within cities known as the urban heat island effect (UHI). READ MORE
