  1. 1. Hydraulic Erosion Simulation on the GPU for 3D terrains

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

    Author : Sebastian Isheden; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydraulic Erosion; 3D erosion; CUDA; erosion; simulation; Vatten Erosion; 3D erosion; CUDA; erosion; simulering;

    Abstract : Erosion is the action of various natural processes, such as water flow, wind and gravity, that displaces material from one area to another. Creating physically-based models of these complex phenomena has been a major challenge in creating realistic terrain in video games in a fast way, without having a 3D artist model the terrain by hand.

  3. 2. UAV based hyperspectral grassland monitoring in an alpine shallow erosion area : lessons learnt from classifying vegetation indicating shallow erosion risk

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : John Peitz; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Shallow Erosion; Blaiken; UAV; Hyperspectral Imaging; Alps; Grassland; Spectral Signatures; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : UAV based hyperspectral grassland monitoring in an alpine shallow erosion area Recent research in the Alps found that a reduction in grassland management is correlated to an increase in a certain type of shallow erosion areas called blaiken. This change also entails changes to the dominant grassland vegetation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Geothermal Potential of Sub-Volcanic Intrusions in a Typical Caldera Setting

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Einar Bessi Gestsson; [2018]
    Keywords : sub-volcanic intrusions; thermometry; numerical modeling; geothermal energy; magmaintrusioner; termometri; numerisk modell; geotermisk energi;

    Abstract : Sub-volcanic intrusions can form an extensive network of sills, dikes and other intrusion types that make up a plumbing system beneath volcanoes. Such intrusions are the heat source for high-temperature geothermal systems in volcanic areas and therefore, it is of great importance to study them in relation to geothermal exploration and production.

  5. 4. The Establishment of Macrobenthic Faunal Communities in Planted Mangroves of Increasing Age

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Simon Jacobsen Ellerstrand; [2017]
    Keywords : Benthos; Shannon-diversity; forestation; biodiversity; ecosystem engineers; development issues; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The mangrove ecosystem is a tropical coastal community inhabited by organisms adapted to the stressful environment of the tidal zone. Mangrove ecosystems has in recent years been noted for the important ecosystem services they offer. READ MORE

  6. 5. Wave transformation at a rock platform in Victoria, Australia - A study combining field measurements with numerical modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hanna Kowalczyk; [2016]
    Keywords : Wave dynamics; wave modelling; shore platform; rock coasts; EBED; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Even though a large part of the world's coastline consists of rocky shores, it is still a neglected field of study in coastal research. To increase the knowledge of wave transformation processes on these shores is important in order to understand erosional patterns and to manage coastal risks. READ MORE
