  1. 36. Detecting Spruce Bark Beetle Infestations with Satellite Imagery

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

    Author : Per Emil Hammarlund; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sveaskog is Swedens largest forest owner, owning 14 percent of the Swedish forest lands. Recently, due to warmer and drier summers as a consequence of climate change, spruce bark beetles have caused damages at a massive scale. READ MORE

  3. 37. Remote sensing-based land cover classification and change detection using Sentinel-2 data and Random Forest : A case study of Rusinga Island, Kenya

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Malena Hesping; [2020]
    Keywords : Land cover classification; post-classification change detection; Random Forest; remote sensing; Sentinel-2;

    Abstract : Healthy forests and soils are crucial for the very existence of mankind as they provide food, clean water and air, shade and protection against floods and storms. With their photosynthetic carbon storage ability, they mitigate climate change and fertilise and stabilise soils. READ MORE

  4. 38. Damage Assessment of Mozambique Flooding Using Sentinel

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Ludvig Lundberg; [2020]
    Keywords : change detection; supervised classification; sentinel; Mozambique;

    Abstract : In the past 40 years, floods have become a bane of Mozambique’s inhabitants and economy. The latest of them, caused by the cyclone Idai, has devastated the area resulting in loss of life and property. It was estimated that around 715 000 hectares of farmland was destroyed as a result of the cyclone. READ MORE

  5. 39. Time series analysis for spring barley phenology monitoring using Sentinel 2 – A case study of Southern-central Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Pavlos Aslanis; [2020]
    Keywords : spring barley; crop phenology; crop growth stages; TIMESAT; double logistic; threshold optimization; Sentinel 2; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Monitoring crop phenology at parcel scale aligns with the concept of precision agriculture (PA) and can provide invaluable information to agronomic management systems. Satellite time series data are commonly deployed for detecting crop growth stages, while the recent advancements in remote sensing (RS) technologies such as the launch of Sentinel 2 (S2) are providing unprecedented opportunities for crop monitoring.

  6. 40. Detecting bark beetle damage with Sentinel-2 multi-temporal data in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shuo Yang; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Bark Beetle; Insect Detection; Sentinel-2; Forest Health; Maximum Likelihood; Random Forest; Spectral Signature; Vegetation Indices; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. READ MORE
