  1. 1. Modelling the Impact of Climate and Socio-Economic Changes on Nutrient Dynamics in the Catchment of Lake Vomb

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Yanhe Zhou; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate change; hydrological modelling; nutrient; RCP; socioeconomic development; SSP; SWAT; water quality modelling;

    Abstract : Climate change and socio-economic development are greatly affecting the quality of freshwater, especially the excessive accumulation of nutrients (N and P), which eventually leads to the occurrence of eutrophication. Lake Vomb is one of the main sources of drinking water in southern Sweden and the nutrient load from the catchment makes it a eutrophic lake with recurring algal blooms. READ MORE

  3. 2. Changes in Gishwati-Mukura Forest and effects on biodiversity, floods, and landslides - recommendations for sustainable forest management

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Elisabeth Claesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Rwanda; Gishwati-Mukura; Rainforest; Natural forest cover; Deforestation; Biodiversity; Flood; Landslide; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Rainforests are of great importance for biodiversity and several ecosystem services. In Rwanda, a considerable decline in rainforest covers have been observed during the last decades. The Gishwati-Mukura Forest is one of the rainforests in Rwanda that has experienced a substantial reduction in forest cover, 99.4 %. READ MORE

  4. 3. Floods and landslides in the Bakokwe catchment, Rwanda: Causes, consequences, and future challenges

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Saga Kallner; Martine Ulvtorp; [2022]
    Keywords : Flooding; Rainfall; Landslide; Rwanda; Bakokwe; Causes; Consequences; Future challenges; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Rwanda is highly exposed to floods and landslides due to intense precipitation, rapid population growth, varied topography and agricultural growth. One of the most vulnerable areas is the Nyabarongo catchment. A subcatchment of the Nyabarongo catchment, Bakokwe, was chosen as a case study for this thesis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Surface crevasses on Svalbard: Spatial Distribution Analysis with Focus on the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Monika Hawrylak; [2021]
    Keywords : crevasses; spatial distribution; model; glacier velocity; Lomonosovfonna; Svalbard;

    Abstract : Understanding the formation mechanics of glacial crevasses is crucial in a variety of glacial applications. Besides being a serious safety hazard during field campaigns, crevasses influence calving rates, mass balance, and the hydrological network of glaciers. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a deep learning method for soil moisture estimation at high spatial and temporal resolution using satellite data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nicklas Simonsen; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Recurrent Neural Network; LSTM; Soil Moisture; Remote Sensing; SAR; Sentinel-1; Sentinel-2; ISMN; ICOS: Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that controls fundamental hydrological and climatic processes. Soil moisture products derived from microwave remote sensing often provide measurements at low spatial resolution and incomplete temporal records. READ MORE
