1. 1. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

3. 2. Modelling of water and material transport in River Storån to Lake Bolmen

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Imjal Sukupayo; [2021]
   Keywords : Brownification; Water Color; Dissolved Organic Matter; Discharge; hydraulic analysis; Tracer Analysis; Dispersion coefficient; Advection and Diffusion; Bolmen Lake; Storån River; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The change of color of water from yellow to brown termed as brownification process is mainly due to leaching of humus and iron concentrations. In recent years, this problem is increasing in lake Bolmen, a major source of drinking water in Skåne county, Sweden. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of water stress mapping methods in vineyards using airborne thermal imaging

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Alon Zuta; [2020]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical information systems; GIS; Remote sensing; Cover crop; Thermal imaging; Spatial variability; vineyards; interpolation; water stress index; CWSI; Ig; stem water potential; UAV; Rheingau; Interpolation.; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : With low cost and high efficiency, use of airborne infrared thermography imaging from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has become a widely used technique to measure plant water stress. With that, the use of UAV mounted thermal camera as a precision agriculture technique to map crop water stress is not trivial and its success is depended on variety of factors which are still needed to be studied and understood.

5. 4. Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Marwa al Kabban; [2019]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; GIS; Sea Level Rise; Vulnerability Assessment; Modelling Sea Level Rise; Impacts Assessment of Sea Level Rise; GIS application in Sea Level Rise; Disaster Risk Reduction DRR ; Government Information Sharing GIS ; ArcGIS Web App Builder Dashboard; Sea Level Rise Story Map; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. READ MORE

6. 5. Automating synthetic trip data generation for an agent-based simulation of urban mobility

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Paul Dos Santos; [2019]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Agent-based Modelling; Simulation Science; Network Modelling; Simulation of Urban Mobility; Emissions; Environmental Modelling; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This paper explores the use of an automated pipeline to construct synthetic (artificially derived) trip data from aggregate socio-demographic sources to build a simulation of individual vehicles interacting with one another. The study shows that quality data sources are required in order to do this effectively and accurately. READ MORE
