  1. 26. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Timothy Micallef; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Land-use; Biodiversity; Grazing land; Remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. READ MORE

  3. 27. Comparing radar satellites. Use of Sentinel-1 leads to an increase in oil spill alerts in Norwegian waters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ove Njøten; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Satellite; Radar; Oil spill; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Radar’s ability to detect oil spills through clouds, fog, and darkness is a significant advantage. Oil spill alert services using radar satellites have been in use in Norway for more than 25 years. After introducing two radar satellites Sentinel-1A and 1B in 2015-2016, the number of oil spill alerts has increased by 250% in Norwegian waters. READ MORE

  4. 28. A study on the urbanization of Bengaluru, India between 2015 and 2020 based on Sentinel-1/2 data

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Shreyas Goswami; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Availability of timely information about land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes is essential for understanding and modelling the urbanization pattern, and thereby in planning sustainable urban development of a region accordingly. Remote sensing technology, using Earth observation satellites, has emerged as a reliable tool for timely monitoring of changes anywhere on Earth. READ MORE

  5. 29. Deep Learning for Earth Observation: improvement of classification methods for land cover mapping : Semantic segmentation of satellite image time series

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Benjamin Carpentier; [2021]
    Keywords : Satellite Image Time Series; Remote sensing; Land Cover Classification; Deep Learning; Convolutional Neural Network; Tidsserier av satellitbilder; Fjärranalys; Classificering; Djupinlärning; KonvolutionelltNeuralt Nätverk;

    Abstract : Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) are becoming available at high spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions across the globe by the latest remote sensing sensors. These series of images can be highly valuable when exploited by classification systems to produce frequently updated and accurate land cover maps. READ MORE

  6. 30. Multi-scale topography assessment for site-specific drought management in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Karl Knaebel; [2021]
    Keywords : drought; topography; precision agriculture; Sentinel-2; DSS;

    Abstract : Globally, as well as in Sweden, the occurrence of droughts is expected to increase due to global warming. The drought summer of 2018 revealed the vulnerability of Sweden’s agriculture – with cereal yield losses of up to 50 %. Subsequently, the development of more resilience crop production systems to mitigate future droughts is required. READ MORE
