  1. 21. Marine Habitat Mapping Using Image Enhancement Techniques & Machine Learning

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Avdelningen för datateknik och informatik

    Author : Mudasar Mureed; [2022]
    Keywords : Coral Reef; Habitat Mapping; Convolutional Neural Network; Transfer Learning; Fine Tuning; CLAHE;

    Abstract : AbstractThe mapping of habitats is the first step that is done in policies that target theenvironment, as well as in spatial planning and management. The biodiversityplans are always centered around habitats. Therefore, constant monitoring ofthese delicate species in terms of health, changes, and extinction is a must inbiodiversity plans.

  3. 22. A study of carbon, nitrogen, and biogenic silica concentrations in Cyperus papyrus, the sedge dominating the permanent swamp of the Okavango Delta, Botswana, Africa

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Giulia Lodi; [2022]
    Keywords : Okavango Delta; papyrus; total nitrogen; total organic carbon; biogenic silica; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Okawangodeltat är södra Afrikas största våtmark och en av världens minst påverkade våtmarker. Kunskapen om hur våtmarkssystemet fungerar är begränsad, särskilt vad gäller halter av näringsämnen och omsättning av näringsämnen i de dominerande våtmarksväxterna. READ MORE

  4. 23. The role of bed sediments for sorption of phosphorus in remediated ditches in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Linus Holgersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Phosphorus; Two-stage ditch; Equilibrium phosphate concentration; Phosphorus retention; Eutrophication; Soluble reactive phosphorus;

    Abstract : Human activities have increased nutrient losses to agricultural ditches and streams, including phosphorus. Phosphorus leakage leads to a worsening of water quality in downstream ecosystems, including lakes and seas. In addition, higher phosphorus concentrations lead to eutrophication, which negatively affects aquatic systems. READ MORE

  5. 24. An implementation of an autonomous IoT system for real-time water quality monitoring with 4G and satellite connection : CatFish - Embedded systems

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Johan Elfing; Daniel Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : CatFish; Embedded System;

    Abstract : This thesis is about implementing an Internet of Things system for measuring water quality in rivers and other aquatic environments with an autonomous water drone, where the data from various components are collected and sent wirelessly to the database in real-time. A Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet through a 4G modem and a wireless satellite communication connection called RockBlock for emergency calls and notifications. READ MORE

  6. 25. Ecological Representativity of Marine Protected Areas along the Swedish West Coast : evaluating the effectiveness of the existing network and identifying expansion opportunities in the Skagerrak

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Kimberly Arfwedson; [2021]
    Keywords : ecological representativity; ecological coherence; species richness; marine protected areas; Marxan; no-take zones;

    Abstract : Marine protected areas (MPAs) are recognised worldwide as an important tool to combat biodiversity loss. The European union (EU) has recently adopted a new strategy aiming at protecting at least 30% of Europe’s marine environment and inferring strict protection for one third of the protected area.
