1. Reconstruction of Fire Spread with a Markov Random Field Mixture Model
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : This thesis revolves around reconstructing fire sizes for historical fires in Jämtgaveln, Sweden based on data of fire scars in trees. We propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), where the domain is divided into quadratic grid cells of 250 $\times$ 250 m and with these grid cells we associate a binary Markov random field taking values 0 or 1 corresponding to no fire and fire respectively.

5. Att återställa en naturlig ordning : skogshistoria och restaureringsbränning i Långsidbergets naturreservat
