  1. 11. Impact of different atmospheric forcings on surface mass balance estimates in Greenland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stina Olandersson; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; surface mass balance; Greenland; climate models; numerical weather prediction models; surface energy balance; Arctic; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. READ MORE

  3. 12. Compressive Sensing: Single Pixel SWIR Imaging of Natural Scenes

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Andreas Brorsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Compressed sensing; Compressive sensing; CS; Compressive imaging; compressed imaging; CI; SPC; Single pixel camera; single pixel imaging; SWIR; Short-wavelength infrared; IR; infrared; Natural Scenes; DMD; Digital micromirror device; FOI;

    Abstract : Photos captured in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectrum are interesting in military applications because they are independent of what time of day the pic- ture is captured because the sun, moon, stars and night glow illuminate the earth with short-wave infrared radiation constantly. A major problem with today’s SWIR cameras is that they are very expensive to produce and hence not broadly available either within the military or to civilians. READ MORE

  4. 13. Comparison of multi-temporal and multispectral Sentinel-2 and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle imagery for crop type mapping

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stephania Zabala Ramos; [2017]
    Keywords : classification; Random Forest; precision agriculture; UAV; remote sensing; Micasense; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Precision Agriculture aims to maximize crop production and the efficiency of land use to meet the increased demand for food while minimizing environmental impact and economic cost of food production. Crop type maps are needed for Precision Agriculture applications and remote sensing techniques are an efficient way to produce this information. READ MORE

  6. 15. Meteorological Conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen Glacier, Svalbard (2009 – 2015)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Niclas Bergman; [2017]
    Keywords : Svalbard; Nordenskiöldbreen; glacier; albedo; Svalbard; Nordenskiöldbreen; glaciär; albedo;

    Abstract : Glacial environments in the Arctic are a much-studied topic as well as a field of research with strong influences regarding the current and future global climate of our planet. This report is focused on the meteorological conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen glacier from 2009-2015 and how they correlate with each other, the glacier surface and the surrounding terrain. READ MORE
