1. 1. Multicriteria Evaluation in Real Estate Land-use Suitability Analysis: The case of Volos, Greece

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Panagiotis Dimitrios Tsachageas; [2024]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Real Estate; Multicriteria Evaluation; Fuzzy; AHP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. READ MORE

3. 2. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : David Ebert; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

4. 3. Mapping wetlands in Sweden using multi-source satellite data and random forest algorithm

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Salvador Hernandez Malave; [2022]
   Keywords : physical geography and ecosystem analysis; multi-temporal; Google Earth Engine; machine learning; classification; country-wide; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. READ MORE

5. 4. An automated unmanned aerial vehicle – structure from motion pipeline to create analysis-ready digital surface models for coastal monitoring

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Maximilian Rafael Huber; [2021]
   Keywords : physical geography; ecosystem analysis; geomatics; GIS; UAV; structure-from-motion; machine learning; coastal monitoring; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Anthropogenic pressure on coastal areas continues to increase, thus intensifying coastal erosion. Coastal monitoring programs are therefore essential to prevent severe ecosystem and economic consequences. Successful coastal monitoring schemes require highly accurate analysis-ready Digital surface models (DSMs) derived using the same workflow. READ MORE

6. 5. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.
