41. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.

42. Classification and localization of extreme outliers in computer vision tasks in surveillance scenarios
University essay from KTH/Hälsoinformatik och logistikAbstract : Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have come a long way and can be trained toclassify many of the objects around us. Despite this, researchers do not fullyunderstand how CNN models learn features (edges, shapes, contours, etc.) fromdata. READ MORE

43. Snow cover related camouflage mismatch decreases survival
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : Climate change is expected to decrease winter severity at high latitudes, resulting in reduced days of snow cover. Several mammalian and avian species in the northern hemisphere express a seasonal colour coat (SCC) making them white in winter periods and brown or dark in summer. READ MORE

44. The impact of snow loads on snow galleries : An initial evaluation of the snow galleries on the Iron Ore Line in Northern Sweden
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : The snow galleries along the Iron ore railway line in northern Sweden have had major problems in recent years due to increasingly large snow loads. Despite great efforts reducing the loads by shoveling off the snow, several of the galleries have been damaged. READ MORE

45. Effects of natural warming and snow on grass phenology and fitness
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Organisms respond to changes in their environment using different strategies. Understanding how species deal with changes expected due to ongoing climate change is important for making accurate predictions about their effect on ecosystems. READ MORE
