  1. 21. Antarctic Subglacial Lakes as Environmental Analogues for Possible Hidden Biospheres on the Moons Europa and Enceladus

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonas Fahlman; [2023]
    Keywords : astrobiology; icy moons; subglacial lakes; ice dynamics; thermal regimes; extremophiles; anthropogenic contamination; astrobiologi; ismånar; subglaciala sjöar; is-dynamik; termiska regimer; extremofiler; antropologisk kontaminering;

    Abstract : The evolving science of astrobiology for the search for life beyond Earth has put focus on the possibility of subsurface bodies of liquid water beneath the surface of icy moons within our Solar System. Specifically, the Jovian moon of Europa and the Saturnian moon of Enceladus show telling characteristics of endogenous heating through their complex tidal resonances with their parent planets – suggesting the presence of oceans of liquid water and therefore a potential for astrobiology.

  3. 22. Assisted GNSS Positioning using State Space Corrections

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Oskar Philipsson; [2023]
    Keywords : positioning; GNSS; SSR; EKF; sensor fusion;

    Abstract : Classical GNSS based positioning has accuracy limitations due to many sources oferror. The error sources range from clock errors and orbit errors toerrors due to variations in atmospheric propagation delays. One way to improve GNSSpositioning is to generate real time corrections using a GNSS reference network. READ MORE

  4. 23. Evaluation of Geopositioning Using Frequency Responses From Radio Propagation Measurements

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jessica Ye; Johan Lesko; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Satellite reliant navigation systems may struggle in urban environments as tall buildings mayobstruct necessary direct lines of sight with satellites. There have been multiple studiesexamining how WIFI fingerprinting may be used for indoor positioning. READ MORE

  5. 24. Evaluation of rainfall-runoff modelling data in Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda - Recommendations for improved flood hazard analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Ebbersten; [2023]
    Keywords : Rwanda; Sebeya; hydrological modelling; rainfall-runoff; catchment; HEC-HMS; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. READ MORE

  6. 25. Implementing Total Electron Content in the Grand Unifed Incoherent Scattering Design and Analysis Program for Investigation of Causes to Scintillations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Samuel Sonesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Total Electron Content; Scintillation; Incoherent Scattering; Ionosphere;

    Abstract : Functionality for calculating and plotting diferent Total Electron Content (TEC) measurements such as Slant Total Electron Content (sTEC), error in sTEC, and VerticalTotal Electron Content (vTEC) was implemented into the data analysis program fromEuropean Incoherent Scattering Scientifc Association (EISCAT), the Grand Unifed Incoherent Scattering Design and Analysis Program (GUISDAP). This utilises a thin-singlelayer model of the ionosphere to convert sTEC into the more analytically useful vTEC. READ MORE
