  1. 26. A multi-scale based method for estimating coniferous forest aboveground biomass using low density airborne LiDAR data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Jialong Duanmu; [2016]
    Keywords : individual tree identification; multi-scale; aboveground biomass AGB ; LiDAR; remote sensing; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Forest biomass acts as an important indicator of carbon resources in terrestrial system. Estimation of forest biomass enables a straightforward measurement of carbon storage and provides initial values for process-based carbon cycle models to simulate carbon dynamics. READ MORE

  3. 27. Two Boat Lake as an Historical Archive for Future Studies by GRASP : Greenland Analogue Surface Project

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Dahlgren; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Two Boat Lake is a non-glacial lake situated within the largest ice free area on Greenland. This literary study has investigated whether it could potentially become a good environmental archive in future studies. READ MORE

  4. 28. Geomorphological evidence for an ongoing transgression on northwestern Svalbard

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Kristian Westlund; [2014]
    Keywords : sea level; Svalbard; geomorphology; lagoons; estuaries; havsnivå; geomorfologi; laguner; estuarier; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Rise and fall of the global sea level during Pleistocene and Holocene are mainly caused by glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors directly linked to the cyclic increase and decrease of the Earth’s ice sheets. Apart from the dominating glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors, several other components have influenced the global sea level, which complicates the regional sea level curves of the world.

  5. 29. Where does the stream begin? Stream initiation under variable wetness conditions in a boreal landscape

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Evelina Gallon; Sanna Lindberg; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The understanding of where the streams begin is an important factor in both hydrology and geomorphology, as well as for land use activities. Despite this, only a few research projects have been done in a snowmelt-dominated boreal landscape. READ MORE

  6. 30. Dynamics of surging tidewater glaciers in Tempelfjorden, Spitsbergen

    University essay from Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Anne Flink; [2013]
    Keywords : tidewater glacier; surge; Spitsbergen;

    Abstract : Terrestrial glacial geomorphology has long been used to evaluate the extent, chronology and dynamics of former glaciers and ice sheets. New marine geophysical methods provide an opportunity to study the glacial submarine morphology of modern continental shelves and fjord systems. READ MORE
