  1. 36. Petrography of impactites from the Dellen impact structure, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Robert Mroczek; [2023]
    Keywords : Dellen; Impact; structure; magnetite; apatite; shock waves; shock-metamorphic; features; Impactite; petrography; scanning electron microscope; SEM; geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Identification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, which contains various volatiles that can affect the atmosphere of a body, or magnetite whose magnetic properties constitute a remote sensing indicator which allows us to study and understand the internal structures of distant bodies.

  3. 37. Characterization of Landscape Structures and Precipitation in relation to Flooding events in Pampa Deprimida : A Minor Field Study in Argentina

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Linnea Svärd; [2023]
    Keywords : Pampeana hydrology; flood risk mapping; runoff; infiltration; precipitation; SCSCN; remote sensingg; Hydrologi på Pampas; kartläggning av översvämningsrisker; avrinning; infiltration; nederbörd; SCS-CN; fjärranalys; Hidrología de la Pampa Deprimida; cartografía del riesgo de inundaciones; escorrentía; infiltración; precipitación; SCS-CN; sensores remotos;

    Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to characterize flood events within the agricultural fields of flooding Pampa in Argentina. The characterization divides the flat landscape into flood prone areas and endeavour at linking driving factors to flood response based on past events. READ MORE

  4. 38. A comparison of remote sensed semi-arid grassland vegetation anomalies detected using MODIS and Sentinel-3, with anomalies in ground-based eddy covariance flux measurements.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Jason Craig Joubert; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Anomaly Detection; Remote Sensing; fAPAR; GDMP; GPP; MODIS; Sentinel-3; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. READ MORE

  5. 39. Digitalised Combats and Their Impact on Social Sustainability in Kenya and Nigeria

    University essay from Försvarshögskolan

    Author : Roland Aszalós; [2023]
    Keywords : Africa; digitalisation; digital transformation; combats; social sustainability; terrorism; al-Shabaab; Boko Haram; peacekeeping; securitisation; Centre of Gravity; cyber warfare; cryptocurrency; dark web; social media;

    Abstract : In our era, digital technology is one of the fastest-changing areas. It impacts our private life, well-being, economics, politics and warfare. This essay intends to answer how digital transformation affects combats and state and non-state actors and also how these digitalised combats compromise social sustainability. READ MORE

  6. 40. Deep Learning for Building Damage Assessment of the 2023 Turkey Earthquakes : A comparison of two remote sensing methods

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Tobias Karlbrg; Jennifer Malmgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Deep learning; U-Net; Earthquake-induced building damage; VHR satellite imagery; Djup maskininlärning; U-Net; Byggnadsskador; Jordbävning; Satellitbilder;

    Abstract : Current disaster response strategies are based on damage assessments carried out on the ground, which can be dangerous following a ä destructive event. Damage assessments can also be performed remotely using satellite imagery, but are usually carried out through visual interpretation, which can take a lot of time. READ MORE
