    Author : William Ljungström Armah; [2023]
    Keywords : Remote Sensing; Urbanization; Urban Mapping; Land Cover; Secondary City; Low- and Middle-Income Countries; SDG 11; Supervised Classification; Minor Field Study;

    Abstract : Rapid urbanization is taking place in Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Often there is not sufficient data monitoring the quick urban change. This study explores the use of machine learning classification within remote sensing to foster sustainable urban practices in a secondary city in an LMIC. READ MORE

  3. 22. Thermal tolerance of native vs. invasive marine species at the Northern coast of Portugal

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofie Michelsen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversity; Climate change; Marine ecosystems; Marine heat waves; Intertidal environment; Invasive species; Macroalgae; Mussels; Sustainable Development; Thermal tolerance;

    Abstract : Two prominent factors posing a major threat to biodiversity in marine ecosystems are climate change and the establishment of invasive species, and the interaction between these two. Because of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water, the coast of Portugal is a thermal refuge and distribution edge for cold-adapted species, making it a particularly important study area from a biodiversity point of view.
