  1. 1. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY RELEVANT BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA FROM THE SKAGERRAK FJORDS BY DEEP LEARNING IMAGE MODELING

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Marko Plavetic; [2023-06-26]
    Keywords : benthic foraminifera; deep learning; environmental monitoring; YOLOv7;

    Abstract : Over the several past decades, there has been increasing interest in using foraminifera as environmental indicators for coastal marine environments. As compared to macrofauna, which are currently used in environmental studies, foraminifera offer several distinct advantages as bioindicators, including short generation times, a high number of individuals per small sample volume, hard and durable tests with high preservation potential, and low cost of sample extraction.

  3. 2. Coastal Response to Sea Level Rise in Ystad Municipality

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Elin Olsson; Sara Engström; [2021]
    Keywords : coastal erosion; Bruun Rule; sea level rise; coastal management; beach morphology; coastal processes; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. READ MORE

  4. 3. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

  5. 4. Long-term morphological evolution of Cua Lo inlet, Central Vietnam

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Nikita Tegenfeldt; Orio Johansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Inlet morphology; Sand spit; Water exchange; Numerical modelling; Cua Lo river mouth; Sediment transport; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cua Lo river mouth is a coastal inlet connected to an estuary at the central coast of Vietnam. The area is valuable for maritime trade, fishing industries, and tourism development. Natural disasters during the monsoon period are a problem, causing seasonal flooding. READ MORE

  6. 5. Beach Nourishment at Faxe Ladeplads in Zealand, Denmark

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Adell; [2020]
    Keywords : Beach nourishment; erosion; coastal protection; coastal morphology; sediment dynamics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The recent beach nourishment performed at Faxe Ladeplads in Zealand, Denmark was established with the objective to reduce wave overtopping onto the adjacent road and also aimed to restore a beach for recreation. During the time that the nourishment has been in place, the appearance of the beach has changed significantly compared to when it was initially restored. READ MORE
