16. The effect of snow-cover area change, precipitation and temperature on streamflow in Tärnaån drainage basin, northern Sweden
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Snow cover is a fundamental component of the world’s cryosphere and plays an important role in the hydrological cycle. It is significant as a human water resource but can also be an influencing factor in flood and drought generation. READ MORE

17. Linking conflict events and cropland development in Afghanistan, 2001 to 2011, using MODIS land cover data and Uppsala Conflict Data Programme
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Linking conflict events and cropland development in Afghanistan, 2001 to 2011, using MODIS land cover data and Uppsala Conflict Data Programme This thesis describes changes in land cover between 2001 and 2011 in Afghanistan, and analyzes the influence of conflict events on cropland development. How did fighting intensity affect cropland areas in Afghanistan, did cropland areas decrease or increase, and were there regional differences in cropland development? Yearly MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) land cover data have been used in this thesis work to assess cropland changes. READ MORE

18. An open source web GIS tool for analysis and visualization of elephant GPS telemetry data, alongside environmental and anthropogenic variables
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availability of moderate to high-resolution satellite data, permits scientists to develop elephant cognitive maps of their adjacent environment, thus offering novel opportunities for research in the fields of wildlife movement ecology and the wider conservation biology.

19. Identification and Masking Method of Clouds in Satellite Images
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för tillämpad signalbehandlingAbstract : Identification of the cloud in an image is essential in order to remove the noise in the image and improve the quality of the image. Further the masking of cloud in a satellite image is important in order to obtain a clear image taken from a remote sensing satellite. READ MORE

20. Study of spatial and temporal variation of atmospheric optical parameters and their relation with PM 2.5 concentration over Europe using GIS technologies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The purpose of this study was to examine the use of remote sensing aerosol data as an estimator of ground level fine particulate matter concentration (PM 2.5). In order to examine this possible relation, daily MODIS Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data were used, collected for an entire year. READ MORE
