  1. 1. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Nils Helge Havertz; [2023]
    Keywords : Microtopography modelling; Remote sensing; Boreal mixed mires; Object Based Image Analysis OBIA ; random forest RF ;

    Abstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

  4. 3. Use of Satellite Remote Sensing for Detecting Archaeological Features: An Example from Ancient Corinth, Greece

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Emmanouil Papadakis; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Satellite Remote Sensing; Vegetation Indices; Classification; Archaeology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception of archaeological landscapes and predict past behaviors.

  5. 4. Monitoring Urbanization in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana, using Multi-Temporal Sentinel-2 MSI Imagery and In-Situ Interviews

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    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

  6. 5. Urban Planning for Better Air Quality : A case study of the Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods in London

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Greta Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods; London; Green Infrastructure; Urban Planning; Air Pollution;

    Abstract : Air pollution affects the environment negatively, boosts climate change, and is the cause of millions of deaths per year, first and foremost affecting the people living in urban areas. Since the early 20th century, many cities have been planned around cars, which are the main contributors to the bad air quality. READ MORE
