  1. 1. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.

  3. 2. Mapping Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) Habitat Suitability in Baden-Württemberg with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Habitat Suitability; Remote Sensing; Image Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE

  4. 3. The relation between extreme heat and ENSO and characterization of health risks in relation to varying levels of UTCI

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Emanuel Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : El Niño; ENSO; relative risk; heat waves; cold spells; UTCI; cardiovascular diseases; exposure; Taiwan.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As a result of climate change, temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last half century and extreme weather events such as storms, extreme heat, extreme precipitation and cold spells have been observed to occur more frequently. This comes with potential consequences for lives and health. READ MORE

  5. 4. Self-Supervised Learning: Land Classification of Satellite Imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Robert Skoglund; [2022]
    Keywords : Self-supervised learning; remote sensing; land classification; SimCLR; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The rise of self-supervised learning has granted a deeper level of generalized machine learning capable of learning semantic representations without any use of labelling. With 700 satellites orbiting Earth and generating terabytes of unlabelled data daily, satellite imagery serves as a particularly enticing data set for self-supervised learning, containing rich information with many applicable domains,such as agriculture.

  6. 5. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Dhruv Maniktala; [2022]
    Keywords : snow cover; snow disappearance; snow onset; snow-free duration; CARRA; Svalbard;

    Abstract : Rapid warming in the Arctic is highly impacting the cryosphere in the region, causing melting of the sea ice, retreat of glaciers and reduction in the snow cover. If suffering further temperature increase, the albedo of the region would reduce due to higher absorption of the solar radiation in snow-free areas. READ MORE
