  1. 1. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  3. 2. In-Situ Gold Resource Estimation Using Satellite Remote Sensing and Machine Learning in Defunct Tailing Storage Facilities (South Africa)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shenelle Agard; [2023]
    Keywords : tailings storage facility; critical raw materials; machine learning; mine valorisation;

    Abstract : The mining industry generates billions of tonnes of waste annually, which is often stored in tailings storage facilities (TSF). This waste is generated from the extraction of ore from surface or underground mines, as well as from metallurgical processing and low-grade stockpiles. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of plasma cleaning on molybdenum crystals for diagnostic mirrors in fusion devices

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

    Author : Hafssa Laabadi; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the long-term energy scenario, nuclear fusion is a promising low-carbon and sustainable energy source. The unavoidable exposure of the wall materials to the plasma is a big challenge in realizing a fusion reactor. The plasma-facing components (PFCs) in the reactor wall will experience erosion deposition in the surface materials. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Andréasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem science; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2; Albedo; Agriculture; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Influence of Pigment Additives on the Barrier Properties of Dispersion Coatings

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Malin Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : dispersion coating; paper products; pigment; sustainable development; circular economy; Dispersionsbarriär; pappersprodukter; pigment; hållbar utveckling; cirkulär ekonomi;

    Abstract : Att minska plastavfall och uppmuntra återvinning har fått hög prioritet i många affärsverksamheter och olika typer av regleringar implementeras för att minska den negativa påverkan av plastanvändningen. Papper och kartong består i huvudsak av cellulosa som har många egenskaper som är essentiella för en hållbar ekonomi (t.ex. READ MORE
