11. Multi-scale topography assessment for site-specific drought management in Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Globally, as well as in Sweden, the occurrence of droughts is expected to increase due to global warming. The drought summer of 2018 revealed the vulnerability of Sweden’s agriculture – with cereal yield losses of up to 50 %. Subsequently, the development of more resilience crop production systems to mitigate future droughts is required. READ MORE

12. Effects of armed conflict on forest cover and vegetation seasonality in Cambodia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Armed conflicts have definitive wide-ranging and diverse impacts on the environment. This thesis examines associations between conflict and land cover change in Cambodia, focusing on the last decade (1989 - 1998) of a thirty-year long Civil War. READ MORE

13. Remote sensing analysis of land cover/use conditions of community-based wildlife conservation areas in Tanzania
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Community based approaches to conservation in the developing world have generally been criticized for not meeting their goals of sustainable conservation and local development. Inadequate local participation and inequitable benefits sharing among others are some of the major concerns. READ MORE

14. Exploring Spatiotemporal Relationships between InSAR-derived Land Subsidence and Satellite-based Hydrological Variables
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Shabestar basin in the East Azerbaijan province, Northwest Iran, where irrigation is the main groundwater consumer, has experienced large-scale subsidence and groundwater deletion, which poses a threat to the local agricultural activities, economic development, and food security. With the emergency of mitigating the risk, satisfying future demand for groundwater, and improving resilience considering climate change, this study proposes a satellite-based approach to explore the spatio-temporal relationships between measured subsidence and hydrological variables in the basin to assist groundwater management strategy.

15. Assessing annual forest phenology: a comparison of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and phenocamera datasets
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Near-surface remote sensing platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and phenocameras appear to be potential platforms for keeping track of seasonal dynamics at a local scale. This research focusses on extracting time series of different vegetation indices (VIs) from both platforms, computing seasonality events from them and comparing the results against spectral sensor data.
