  1. 11. Monitoring deforestation in the Serranía de Chiribiquete in northern Colombian Amazon using time series analysis of satellite data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Yuyang Qian; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; CCDC; Forest loss; Landsat; Sentinel-1; Change detection; NNP; FARC; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Deforestation monitoring is of significant importance for the ecosystem, climate change,and policy-making. The availability of optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite remote sensing images, along with the development of time series change detection methods, has contributed to the increasing popularity of time series analysis in forest disturbance monitoring.

  3. 12. Population dynamics of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in forest conservation areas and the interaction with biodiversity and natural enemies

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Evelina Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : spruce bark beetle; population dynamics; conservation areas; biodiversity; natural enemies; species richness; managed forests; woodland key-habitats; nature reserves;

    Abstract : Biodiversity is rapidly decreasing and in need of more conservation efforts. However, the tree-killing European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.), has made forest conservation controversial by affecting conservation areas and possibly adjoining managed forests, yet is still a keystone species leaving decaying wood promoting biodiversity.

  4. 13. Water quality monitoring with Sentinel 2 in small watercourses : Investigating the measurability of phosphorus using proxy data

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Caroline Morin; [2023]
    Keywords : Optical remote sensing; Sentinel 2; Phosphorus; Total suspended matter; Turbidity;

    Abstract : Inland water has for a long time showed vast stress due to eutrophication, mainly caused by increased levels of phosphorus. Applying remote sensing as a tool for monitoring water parameters has long been used. READ MORE

  5. 14. Multidimensional Classification of Radar Signals : A comparison between unidimensional and multidimensional classification models for pulsed radar signals

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Max Ek Törmä; [2023]
    Keywords : pulsed radar classification; Bayesian Gaussian mixture models; Dirichlet process mixture models; multidimensional radar classification; pulsed radar signals; radar signal classification;

    Abstract : Radar is a technique used by many different types of remote sensing systems to keep track of their surroundings. The transmitted radar signals may carry information that could be used to infer the type of transmitter. Multiple papers have investigated the classification of pulse repetition intervals produced by radar systems. READ MORE

  6. 15. The effects of management practices and environmental variables on the biodiversity of Nardus grasslands in the national park Hohe Tauern, Austria

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Rebecca Paulina Dörner; [2023]
    Keywords : biodiversity; Nardus stricta; Nardus grassland; national park Hohe Tauern; East Tyrol; alpine pastures;

    Abstract : Introduction. A large part of the biodiversity of the Alps is linked to an interaction between the natural environment and traditional land-use practices. This study focuses on the priority habitat type of species rich Nardus grasslands (Natura 2000 Code 6230*), which is endangered, but continues to thrive in extensively managed subalpine pastures.
