  1. 21. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  3. 22. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Duncan Jones; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

  4. 23. An alternative explanation for scale-free speed correlations in starling flocks: coarse-graining in time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Mate Jagnjic; [2023]
    Keywords : scale-free correlations; active matter; starling flocks; coarse-graining;

    Abstract : In a celebrated series of experimental observations, starling flocks have been shown to be characterized by scale-free, long-ranged spatial correlations in their velocity fluctuations. While this is expected for velocity orientation correlations on the basis of simple symmetry-breaking arguments, the same scaling-free behaviour for speed (i.e. READ MORE

  5. 24. A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF COGNITIVE ABILITY TILT

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Douglas Long; [2023]
    Keywords : Cognitive Ability Tilt; Ability Tilt;

    Abstract : Cognitive ability tilt refers to individual differences in the relative strength of specific cognitive abilities, such as mathematical, spatial, verbal, and so forth. This has potential implications for individuals’ educational and occupational success, but has only recently attracted attention after decades of focus on general intelligence and full scale IQ.

  6. 25. Multi-scale Bark Beetle Predictions Using Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Albert Øhrman Wellendorf; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographically weighted regression; bark beetle; machine learning; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Bark beetle attacks have led to widespread tree disturbance and deaths in many parts of the world, and thereby also economic and biodiversity losses. Forest-rich Sweden has experienced periodic attacks, latest in 2018. READ MORE
