  1. 21. Claws and Effect : how Small Carnivore Richness Responds to Habitat Diversity and Ecological Productivity

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Emilia Arkdalen; [2023]
    Keywords : small carnivore; camera trap; occupancy model; species richness; productivity; habitat richness; habitat evenness;

    Abstract : Species distribution and composition research has gained significance in light of global warming and its impact on biodiversity. Understanding the factors shaping species richness is crucial for wildlife ecology and conservation. READ MORE

  3. 22. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  4. 23. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Duncan Jones; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

  5. 24. Heat atlas of Gotland : A GIS-based support tool for modelling the heat sector.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Hugo Segerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Heat atlas; GIS; heat sector; energy system; energy system modelling; TIMES; QGIS; district heating; spatial data; energy transition; GIS; energisystems modellering; TIMES; värmesektorn; fjärrvärme; värmeatlas; QGIS; geografisk data; energisystem;

    Abstract : With sharp climate goals to be climate neutral by 2045, Sweden needs to rapidly change the present energy system. The Swedish government has assigned Gotland as a pilot area for the energy transition, due to its geographical constrains as an island, and because of the major structural changes planned for Gotland’s energy supply and industrial establishment.

  6. 25. Evaluating electrolyser setups for hydrogen production from offshore wind power : A case study in the Baltic Sea

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Kenzo Franzén; [2023]
    Keywords : electrolysis; energy systems modelling; green hydrogen; offshore wind power; power-to-x; electrólisis; energía eólica marina; hidrógeno verde; modelado de sistemas de energía; power-to-x;

    Abstract : As part of the transition towards a fully sustainable energy system, green hydrogen shows great potential to decarbonise several hard-to-abate sectors. To provide the fossil-free electricity required for electrolysis, offshore wind power has emerged as a suggested option. READ MORE
