  1. 6. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

    Abstract : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. READ MORE

  3. 7. A Structural Analysis of the Fracture Sets in Gothenburg, Sweden: A Remote Sensing and Manual Lineament Approach

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jacek Krysik; [2023-05-22]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Manual lineament analysis; Fractal analysis; Structural; Regional geology; LiDAR; Gothenburg region;

    Abstract : The fracture-valley landscape within the Gothenburg region was analysed based on LiDAR-derived hillshade images as well as several sources of orthomosaics. Using a manual lineament interpretation approach and complimented with an objective fractal analysis software (FROST), the objective of the study was to characterise the regional fracture sets as well as attempt to link the sets to the complex regional geological history.
