  1. 6. Assessing the suitability of using Sentinel-1A SAR multi-temporal imagery to detect fallow periods between rice crops

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lukasz Langowski; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information System; GIS; Remote Sensing; Fallow; Detection; Sentinel-1A; Synthetic-aperture radar; SAR; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Fallow, understood as a period where no crop is cultivated during a growing season, is an important crop management practice. Fallow plays an important role in pest and disease management, and monitoring the presence and duration of fallow can have implications for understanding the extent and effectiveness of this agricultural practice.

  3. 7. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Timothy Micallef; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Land-use; Biodiversity; Grazing land; Remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. READ MORE

  4. 8. Where are the forests with highest biomass in Sweden located?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hugo Bergman; [2021]
    Keywords : Biomass; Biomass density; Forest biomass; Boreal forests; Forest management; Primary forest; Protected forest; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Identification of high-biomass sites can lead to further studies on their ecology with the purpose to inform climate change mitigation decisions or give an indication to which sites need stronger protection. The purpose of this study was to, via a remotely sensed data set of tree biomass, identify the locations with the highest biomass in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 9. A study on the urbanization of Bengaluru, India between 2015 and 2020 based on Sentinel-1/2 data

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Shreyas Goswami; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Availability of timely information about land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes is essential for understanding and modelling the urbanization pattern, and thereby in planning sustainable urban development of a region accordingly. Remote sensing technology, using Earth observation satellites, has emerged as a reliable tool for timely monitoring of changes anywhere on Earth. READ MORE

  6. 10. Estimating active layer thickness at the high Arctic study site Zackenberg from remotely sensed ground subsidence

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lotte Wendt; [2021]
    Keywords : active layer thickness; DInSAR; subsidence; permafrost; Zackenberg; CALM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The active layer thickness (ALT) is an indicator of permafrost thaw, which potentially leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases under global warming, and thus could further amplify climate change. The thaw depth of the active layer also governs seasonal surface deformation, caused by the volume change between ice to water, which poses risks for slope stability and infrastructure foundations.
