  1. 11. Winter Wheat Harvest Prediction Using Primarily Satellite Radar Data from Sentinel-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Oliver Persson Bogdanovski; Christoffer Svenningsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Precision Agriculture; Sentinel-1 SAR; Machine Learning; Winter Wheat; Harvest Prediction; RFI-filtering; Despeckling; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Aiding farmers with their tremendous task of sustainably and cost-efficiently feeding the world is of utmost importance. Information technology plays a crucial role in supporting farmers and supplying them with accurate information about their crops. READ MORE

  3. 12. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

  4. 13. 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.

  5. 14. Reprocessing weather data from Smart Stake weather stations on the Greenland ice sheet

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Leon Lovén; [2023]
    Keywords : ice sheet; data processing; weather station; Greenland; GEUS; Smart Stake; istäcke; databehandling; väderstation; Grönland; GEUS;

    Abstract : To identify a climate trend, a lot of data is required for the conclusion to be accurate. A trend can require 30 years worth of measurements in order to say anything with certainty about how the climate is changing. It is therefore important to utilize every source of data in climate research. READ MORE

  6. 15. Remote Sensing of Cryospheric Surfaces : Small Scale Surface Roughness Signatures in Satellite Altimetry Data

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Petter Ideström; [2023]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Altimetry; Arctic; Cryosphere; ICESat-2; Cryosat-2; Svalbard;

    Abstract : The Arctic cryosphere is experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the rest of the world due to Arctic amplification. As glacier elevation change provide reliable evidence of climate change it is routinely measured by satellite altimeters. READ MORE
