1. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur. READ MORE

2. Mapping Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) Habitat Suitability in Baden-Württemberg with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE

3. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

4. Assessment of hydropower mitigation measures for fish habitat rehabilitation with a coupled eco-hydraulic model : A case study on the Skålan-Äldern stretch
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : In the past century, hydropower development in Sweden has been facilitated by the lack of appropriate environmental legislation. This exploitation has resulted in the current poor ecological status of most Swedish water bodies affected by hydropower, and in the need for new policies that reflect the 2000 European Water Framework Directive.

5. Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) location in Southeast Alaska : modeling the influence of mesoscale krill (Euphausiacea) patch depth and size
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Humpback whales ([i]Megaptera novaeangliae[/i]) require dense prey aggregations due to the high energetic cost of their feeding methods. Modeling studies have shown that when whales are on their feeding grounds, they are closely associated with high prey concentrations. READ MORE
