  1. 6. A comparison of remote sensed semi-arid grassland vegetation anomalies detected using MODIS and Sentinel-3, with anomalies in ground-based eddy covariance flux measurements.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Jason Craig Joubert; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Anomaly Detection; Remote Sensing; fAPAR; GDMP; GPP; MODIS; Sentinel-3; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. READ MORE

  3. 7. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Andréasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem science; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2; Albedo; Agriculture; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. READ MORE

  4. 8. Improving Soil Information with Generative and Machine Learning Models

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Ebrahim Jahanshiri; [2022-06-21]
    Keywords : data augmentation; soil data; mapping; generative adversarial models; random forest;

    Abstract : Soil data observations are among the most difficult data to collect. Low sample density along with the high cost of sampling has made current soil information that are usually presented as maps, unusable for detailed applications such as modelling earth system dynamics, crop modelling, natural hazards prediction and climate change impacts.

  5. 9. Mapping wetlands in Sweden using multi-source satellite data and random forest algorithm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Salvador Hernandez Malave; [2022]
    Keywords : physical geography and ecosystem analysis; multi-temporal; Google Earth Engine; machine learning; classification; country-wide; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. READ MORE

  6. 10. Monitoring wetland cover changes during the past two decades within the protected areas of the Sudd wetland in South Sudan using MODIS data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Charlotta Ruuskanen; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; MODIS; NDVI; Sudd Wetlands; Wetland Cover Classification; White Nile Hydrology; Armed Herder-Pastoralist Conflict analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Sudd wetland, situated along the White Nile in the Republic of South Sudan, is recognized internationally for its unique environmental features. The distinctive ecological characteristics have resulted in the creation of numerous nature reserves in efforts to conserve the habitats and ecosystem services provided. READ MORE
