  1. 11. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexander Fors; [2022]
    Keywords : actual evapotranspiration; Malwathu Oya; remote sensing; Sri Lanka; SWAT modelling; SWAT calibration; WaPOR; water balance; faktisk evapotranspiration; fjärranalys; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; SWAT-modellering; SWAT-kalibrering; vattenbalans; WaPOR;

    Abstract : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. READ MORE

  3. 12. En kvalitativ studie av laserskanning med drönare

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Johan Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : drönare; laserskanning; mervärde;

    Abstract : Fjärranalys och nyttjandet av olika sensorer har under det senaste decenniet fått allt större betydelse inom skogsbruket (Nordkvist & Olsson 2012). Bland annat genomför Lantmäteriet löpande en rikstäckande laserskanning med flyg. Den data som samlas in finns tillgänglig för allmänheten och används bland annat för skogliga syften. READ MORE

  4. 13. Predicting biodiverse semi-natural grasslands through satellite imagery and machine learning

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Adrian Baggström; [2021]
    Keywords : Machine learning; remote sensing; biodiversity; plant species richness; semi-natural grasslands; Sentinel-2;

    Abstract : Semi-natural grasslands are amongst the most biodiverse ecosystems in Europe, though their importance they are experiencing a declining trend. To monitor and assess the health of these ecosystems is generally costly, personnel demanding and time-consuming. READ MORE

  5. 14. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Timothy Micallef; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Land-use; Biodiversity; Grazing land; Remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. READ MORE

  6. 15. Simulating microwave single scattering properties of melting ice particles: a preparation to extend the ARTS database

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Andreas Teodorsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Melting ice particles; microwaves; ARTS; single scattering properties; RimeCraft; ADDA; Smältande ispartiklar; mikrovågor; ARTS; spridningsegenskaper; RimeCraft; ADDA;

    Abstract : Ice particles in the atmosphere affect for example remote sensing measurements made for climate and atmospheric research. When these ice particles melt their single scattering properties alters, which in turn affect the remote sensing measurements. READ MORE
