  1. 6. Remote sensing analysis of land cover/use conditions of community-based wildlife conservation areas in Tanzania

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Kharid Mwakoba; [2021]
    Keywords : geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; remote sensing; wildlife management area; Tanzania; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Community based approaches to conservation in the developing world have generally been criticized for not meeting their goals of sustainable conservation and local development. Inadequate local participation and inequitable benefits sharing among others are some of the major concerns. READ MORE

  3. 7. A global analysis on impact of conflicts on long-term greening trends

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Mathias Welp; [2020]
    Keywords : NDVI; Conflicts; UCDP; GIMMS; Google Earth Engine; Physical Geography; Ecosystem Science; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Armed conflicts were and are still shaping the global terrestrial land surface and can have severe direct and indirect impacts on societies, economies and the environment. This study attempts to assess the impact of armed conflicts on vegetation on global and regional scale. READ MORE

  4. 8. NDVI time series analysis for desert locust outbreak detection and quantification analysis of its impact on vegetation productivity of Sahel

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Evangelos Oikonomopoulos; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Primary Productivity; Desert Locust; NDVI; Time Series Analysis; Outbreak Detection; Food Security; Sahel; Insect Disturbances; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : It has been shown that the semi-arid environment of the Sahelian belt plays an important role in the global carbon uptake as the fluctuation of its primary productivity can be determinant for the global carbon uptake. The insect Schistocerca gregaria commonly known as the desert locust is a disturbance factor that can affect the vegetation productivity for consecutive seasons. READ MORE

  5. 9. Linking Jet Stream Variability and the NAO to the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle in Europe

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emma Rosengren; [2020]
    Keywords : Terrestrial; Carbon Cycle; Jet Latitude; Jet Speed; NAO; NDVI; Jordbunden; Kolcykel; Jetlatitud; Jethastighet; NAO; NDVI;

    Abstract : The terrestrial carbon cycle is a part of the global carbon cycle, where one important component is the terrestrial vegetation. Terrestrial vegetation largely controls the land surface carbon exchanges and leverage the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, significantly affecting the trajectory of global warming.
