  1. 1. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.

  3. 2. END-OF-LIFE FOR A QUARRY, WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Kimia Golamian Yosaf Abadi; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : Quarrying; Aggregates; Life cycle; Environmental impact; Restoration; Permit;

    Abstract : Aggregates products are the largest non-energy mining industry in the world, which is the most extracted materials after water. The most prevalent source of aggregates is from quarries, or mines that target the rock itself. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of management strategies on carbon uptake of highway ancillary areas in Northern Germany

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maura Karmann; [2023]
    Keywords : InVEST- model; Highway ancillary areas; carbon pool estimations; management factors; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Carbon storage capacity estimations of terrestrial vegetation are necessary to understand the limit of possible carbon emissions. General approximations, of a landscapes carbon pool capacity, can be performed using the InVEST-model. READ MORE

  6. 5. Land Use/Land Cover Classification From Satellite Remote Sensing Images Over Urban Areas in Sweden : An Investigative Multiclass, Multimodal and Spectral Transformation, Deep Learning Semantic Image Segmentation Study

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Oskar Aidantausta; Patrick Asman; [2023]
    Keywords : data fusion; deep learning; land use land cover classification; multiclass; multimodal; remote sensing; semantic segmentation; Sentinel satellite; spectral index; U-Net; Urban Atlas;

    Abstract : Remote Sensing (RS) technology provides valuable information about Earth by enabling an overview of the planet from above, making it a much-needed resource for many applications. Given the abundance of RS data and continued urbanisation, there is a need for efficient approaches to leverage RS data and its unique characteristics for the assessment and management of urban areas.
