1. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

2. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur. READ MORE

4. Use of Satellite Remote Sensing for Detecting Archaeological Features: An Example from Ancient Corinth, Greece
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception of archaeological landscapes and predict past behaviors.
