1. “Looking for the trees in the forest“ An attempt to finding the best segmentation-based methodology to discriminate deciduous trees in the Dubbarp area, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Finding a solution to automatically identify tree crowns in has been a well discussed topic in the academic community. Different ideas have been put to practice, with researches mainly targeting coniferous forests. In a global context, papers concerning deciduous trees are rare and their results differ in relation to their respective study zone. READ MORE

2. Modelling gross primary production in semi-arid regions: effects on carbon uptake of intensive agriculture in southern Kenya
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Background and aim: Gross primary production (GPP) is the largest global carbon (C) flux and an important component for counteracting anthropogenic CO2 emissions, understanding vegetation dynamics, and sustaining universal human standards. Africa plays a prominent role in the global C cycle, though our understanding of GPP dynamics is largely hampered by a paucity of ground-based observations. READ MORE

3. ENSO teleconnections - Analysis of time lag between tropical Pacific sea surface temperature and climate and vegetation anomalies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects weather and climate in regions spread all around the Earth via teleconnections. While quite a lot of research has been done on recognizing what regions are affected by these and what is the sign of the associated temperature, rainfall and vegetation anomalies, not that much attention has been paid to the timing of the impacts with respect to the ENSO state.

4. Decreasing organic nitrogen concentrations in European water bodies - links to organic carbon trends and land cover
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : European rivers experience increasing concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, low interest is given to the evolution of total organic nitrogen (TON) concentrations in surface waters, the links with TOC concentrations and the influence of the surrounding land cover on nutrient inputs.

5. A global analysis on impact of conflicts on long-term greening trends
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Armed conflicts were and are still shaping the global terrestrial land surface and can have severe direct and indirect impacts on societies, economies and the environment. This study attempts to assess the impact of armed conflicts on vegetation on global and regional scale. READ MORE
