  1. 26. Mapping Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) Habitat Suitability in Baden-Württemberg with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Habitat Suitability; Remote Sensing; Image Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE

  3. 27. Looking for shrubs in an alvar: Investigating classification of orthophotos as a way of mapping shrub species Juniperus communis and Dasiphora fruticose on Stora Alvaret, Öland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Lantmäteri (CI)

    Author : Jorun Westman; [2022]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Orthophoto; Stora Alvaret; Shrub; Monitoring; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Loss of biodiversity is an immediate threat to the planet and if no actions are taken it is expected to accelerate. The highest species richness on smaller scale is found in semi-natural temperate grasslands, with one of the documented records from Stora Alvaret on Öland, Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 28. ALS (Airborne Lidar) accuracy: Can potential low data quality of Lidar ground points be modelled/detected based on recorded point cloud characteristics? Case study of 2016 Lidar capture over Auckland, New Zealand

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Gabriela Olekszyk; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Lidar; ALS; Point cloud; Accuracy; Quality; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Gabriela Olekszyk ALS (Airborne Lidar) accuracy: Can potential low data quality of Lidar ground points be modelled/detected based on recorded point cloud characteristics? Case study of 2016 Lidar capture over Auckland, New Zealand. Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) data is becoming more widely available and accessible. READ MORE

  5. 29. Geometric comparison of 3D city models for daylight simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Johannes Lande Nyborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; 3D city model; 3D building models; daylight access; daylight simulations; obstruction angle; free and open-source software; sustainable urban development; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. READ MORE

  6. 30. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Patricija Marijauskaite; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Ecosystem modelling; LPJ-GUESS; Climate change; Forest sequestration; Land carbon sink; Norway spruce; Scot s pine; Silver birch; monoculture; silviculture; NPP; NBP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). READ MORE
