  1. 1. The Power in Working Together: Exploring how Small and Medium-sized Municipalities are Collaborating for Ambitious Climate Action

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Cynthia Coulombe; [2021]
    Keywords : climate action implementation; city networks; small and medium-sized municipalities.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Reaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement not only requires ambitious goals from national governments, but also the active participation of local municipalities. It is in cities where climate actions need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach the international and national climate goals. READ MORE

  3. 2. Statistical Evaluation and Modelling of Landslide Initiation Points in Western Norway

  5. 4. Gaussian Process Multiclass Classification : Evaluation of Binarization Techniques and Likelihood Functions

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för matematik (MA)

    Author : Benjamin Ringdahl; [2019]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Gaussian process classification; Laplace s approximation; Likelihood functions; Binarization techniques; Class imbalance;

    Abstract : In binary Gaussian process classification the prior class membership probabilities are obtained by transforming a Gaussian process to the unit interval, typically either with the logistic likelihood function or the cumulative Gaussian likelihood function. Multiclass classification problems can be handled by any binary classifier by means of so-called binarization techniques, which reduces the multiclass problem into a number of binary problems.

  6. 5. Data driven fuzzy suitability modelling as a method for assessing habitat choice of migratory Red Kites (Milvus, milvus) across Spain

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : John-William Monks; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystems analysis; Fuzzy suitability; GIS; Red Kite; Suitability modelling; Conservation; Habitat choice; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As an increasing number of species drift onto the IUCN’s list of endangered species, it has become increasingly important to understand the fundamental aspects that are essential in maintaining the fitness of these threatened species. Using tracking data from 75% of a sample of Swiss juvenile Red Kites during their wintering period in Spain, various bioclimatic predictors (BCMPs) were taken into account to create fuzzy membership functions based on the spatial distribution of the related biogeographic elements within the operating range of the sample set of kites.
