  1. 21. 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

  3. 22. Lateral variability in the quantification of calcareous nannofossils in the Upper Triassic, Austria

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Andreas Fägersten; [2018]
    Keywords : Calcareous nannofossils; Upper Triassic; Steinbergkogel; lateral variability; limestone; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Calcareous nannofossils are microscopic remains of organisms that diversified considerably in and after the Late Triassic, and which may have influenced seawater chemistry and carbonate production. Coccoliths, nannoliths, and calcareous dinoflagellate cysts are important parts of many calcareous nannofossil assemblages in the Upper Triassic. READ MORE

  4. 23. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Felix Martin Hofmann; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; 10Be exposure dating; structure-from motion; geomorphological mapping; moraine; equilibrium line altitude; Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. READ MORE

  5. 24. Hållbar mobilitet i skidorter : en studie av arbetet för en hållbar mobilitet i svenska fjälldestinationer

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Johan Hultman; [2018]
    Keywords : hållbar; mobilitet; turism; Åre; fjällturism; transporter i skidorter;

    Abstract : Denna studie handlar om hur fjällturism på olika sätt kan arbeta för att minska sin miljöpåverkan av persontransporter. Det finns en tydlig trend inom dagens turism som säger att naturen lockar fler människor än någonsin. Turistdestinationer i svenska fjällen beräknas få fler turister och en ökad besöksnäring.

  6. 25. Single-Grain Zircon U-Pb Dating and Magnetic Susceptibility of Polish Loess to Determine Late Quaternary Dust Provenance and Paleoclimate

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexandra Engström Johansson; [2018]
    Keywords : dust provenance; Polish loess; paleoclimate; single-grain zircon U-Pb dating; magnetic susceptibility; härkomstområden för atmosfäriskt stoft; polsk lössjord; paleoklimat; U-Pb datering av zirkoner; magnetisk susceptibilitet;

    Abstract : Windblown mineral dust has accumulated into thick loess layers across the European continent. Loess deposits are valuable paleoclimatic archives as they record climate change on centennial- to glacialinterglacial timescales. READ MORE
