  1. 1. Snow depth measurements and predictions : Reducing environmental impact for artificial grass pitches at snowfall

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

    Author : Findlay Forsblom; Lars Petter Ulvatne; [2020]
    Keywords : artificial grass; rubber granulate pollution; snow depth measurement; snow level prediction; temperature index; energy index; energy balance model; machine learning; python; random forest; ultrasonic sensor; infrared sensor; lorawan; pycom lopy4; micro python; arduino uno; web application; javascript; node.js;

    Abstract : Rubber granulates, used at artificial grass pitches, pose a threat to the environment when leaking into the nature. As the granulates leak to the environment through rain water and snow clearances, they can be transported by rivers and later on end up in the marine life. Therefore, reducing the snow clearances to its minimum is of importance. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reindeer induced changes in vegetation composition and plant traits on a tundra-forest border

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Femke Pijcke; [2019]
    Keywords : physical geography; ecosystem analysis; plant functional traits; nutrient allocation; grazing; reindeer; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) are the most common large herbivores in the arctic. With a habitat spreading over the entire circumpolar region, they can have a substantial effect on plant species composition and ecosystem processes and functions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessing avalanche risk by terrain analysis : an experimental GIS-approach to The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Simon Nåfält; [2016]
    Keywords : Altitude; ATES; avalanche; terrain analysis; GIS; Nuolja; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study addresses the complex nature of snow avalanches and how their location can be predicted, and thus avoided, when navigating through mountainous terrain during winter recreations. The avalanche risk in the ski area of Nuolja, in northern Sweden, was evaluated by an experimental implementation of the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) which is a model for pre-trip planning and assessment of exposure to avalanches.

  5. 4. Snow and sea ice temperature profiles from satellite data and ice mass balance buoys

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Isabella Grönfeldt; [2016]
    Keywords : IMB; ice mass balance buoys; snow-ice interface; air-snow interface; temperature profile; snow; sea ice; Fram Strait; Greenland; Arctic Ocean; climate change; climate; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; remote sensing; satellite; sensor; SMOS; AMSR-2; TIR; numerical weather prediction; multiple regression analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The sea ice covers approximately 5% of the Earth’s surface at any given time and it plays an important role in the polar climate system affecting the heat, mass and momentum exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. The snow cover on top of the sea ice affects its insulating and reflective properties and thus key figures in the climate system feedback loop. READ MORE
