1. 1. Usability of Sentinel-1 C-band VV and VH SAR data for the detection of flooded oil palm

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Sarah Lee Sienaert; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Sentinel-1; SAR; C-band; VV; VH; Oil Palm; Flood; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. READ MORE

3. 2. Groundwater flooding in a Moldovan limestone mine : An investigation into the limestone aquifer in Chisinau andsustainable solutions to mine dewatering

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Erik Tobin; [2022]
   Keywords : groundwater; hydrogeology; limestone; mine; Moldova; Chisinau; grundvatten; hydrogeologi; kalksten; gruva; Moldavien; Chisinau;

4. 3. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.

5. 4. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Charlie van Houwelingen; Timothy Ley; [2021]
   Keywords : Coastal protection; nature-based solutions; salt marshes; salt meadows; sea level rise; wave damping; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE
