  1. 1. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ainahu Abdul Hamid; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation optical depth; Temperate Forest; Climate; LPJ-GUESS; Evapotranspiration; Leaf water potential; Isohydricity; Hydraulic failure; Carbon starvation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. READ MORE

  3. 2. Integrating remotely sensed hydrologic parameters into an index of sediment connectivity

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Anna-Klara Almer; [2017]
    Keywords : Flooding; road infrastructure; soil moisture; remote sensing; sediment connectivity;

    Abstract : The expected increase in precipitation and temperature in Scandinavia, and especially short-time heavy precipitation, will increase the frequency of flooding. Urban areas are the most vulnerable, and specifically, the road infrastructure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Land Surface Phenology as an indicator of performance of conservation policies like Natura2000

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Gunjan Sharma; [2016]
    Keywords : MODIS NDVI; Natura2000; Land Surface Phenology LSP ; ecological indicators; TIMESAT; trend analysis; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Considering the growing pressure on various ecosystems all around the world, the development of ecological indicators for assessing the health and condition of the ecosystems has become an integral part of environmental management and policy making efforts. Such indicators do not only simplify the complex ecosystem processes but can also act as a measure of performance of a conservation policy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Snowmelt and runoff assessment of Talas River Basin using remote sensing approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hammad Javid; [2014]
    Keywords : Talas River; remotely sensed precipitation; TRMM; GPCC; MODIS; Chu-Talas River Basin; transboundary rivers; Central Asia; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Transboundary river basins provide inhabitance and water resources to millions of people around the globe and they are a source of dispute among neighbor countries also. This thesis focuses on the snow melt and runoff modeling of a small transboundary river, Talas; using a physically distributed rainfall-runoff model, TOPKAPI-ETH. READ MORE

  6. 5. GIS-based time series study of soil erosion risk using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model in a micro-catchment on Mount Elgon, Uganda

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Boyi Jiang; [2013]
    Keywords : geomatics; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; time series; GIS; Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation RUSLE ; Uganda; soil erosion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Land degradation has already been treated as one of the most serious problem all around the world. This study is a GIS-based time series study which devotes to calculate annual soil loss value, seek for soil erosion trends linked with precipitation and land use in Manafwa micro-catchment, Mount Elgon region, Uganda.
