1. 1. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

3. 2. Impact of wetland restoration on river discharge - A case study of Bråån, Skåne, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Ardis Luda; [2023]
   Keywords : wetlands; wetland restoration; HYPE model; river discharge; Sweden; land use change; flooding; hydrological modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. READ MORE

4. 3. Lindmalva i sockerbetor : ett framtida ogräs

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

   Author : Frederik Falck; [2023]
   Keywords : Abutilon theophrasti Medik; Beta vulgaris; biologi; Conviso One; förebyggande åtgärder; herbicider; mekanisk bekämpning; ogräsbekämpning; reproduktion;

   Abstract : Lindmalva (Abutilon theophrasti Medik) är ett sommarannuellt örtogräs som kan leda till kraftiga skördesänkningar i sockerbetor. Svenska betodlare har hittills varit förskonade mot lindmalvan och det har enbart rapporterats om enstaka fynd. READ MORE

5. 4. Use of Satellite Remote Sensing for Detecting Archaeological Features: An Example from Ancient Corinth, Greece

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Emmanouil Papadakis; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Satellite Remote Sensing; Vegetation Indices; Classification; Archaeology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception of archaeological landscapes and predict past behaviors.

6. 5. Characterization of Landscape Structures and Precipitation in relation to Flooding events in Pampa Deprimida : A Minor Field Study in Argentina

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Linnea Svärd; [2023]
   Keywords : Pampeana hydrology; flood risk mapping; runoff; infiltration; precipitation; SCSCN; remote sensingg; Hydrologi på Pampas; kartläggning av översvämningsrisker; avrinning; infiltration; nederbörd; SCS-CN; fjärranalys; Hidrología de la Pampa Deprimida; cartografía del riesgo de inundaciones; escorrentía; infiltración; precipitación; SCS-CN; sensores remotos;

   Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to characterize flood events within the agricultural fields of flooding Pampa in Argentina. The characterization divides the flat landscape into flood prone areas and endeavour at linking driving factors to flood response based on past events. READ MORE
