  1. 1. Land cover classification using machine-learning techniques applied to fused multi-modal satellite imagery and time series data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Anastasia Sarelli; [2024]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Land Cover Classification; Landsat; Machine Learning; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Land cover classification is one of the most studied topics in the field of remote sensing, involving the use of data from satellite sensors to analyze and categorize different land surface types. There are numerous satellite products available, each offering different spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using GIS and satellite data to assess access of green area for children living in growing cities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Rebecca Borg; [2024]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographical Information System; Urban green space; children; schools; Malmö; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. READ MORE

  4. 3. END-OF-LIFE FOR A QUARRY, WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Kimia Golamian Yosaf Abadi; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : Quarrying; Aggregates; Life cycle; Environmental impact; Restoration; Permit;

    Abstract : Aggregates products are the largest non-energy mining industry in the world, which is the most extracted materials after water. The most prevalent source of aggregates is from quarries, or mines that target the rock itself. READ MORE

  5. 4. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Nils Helge Havertz; [2023]
    Keywords : Microtopography modelling; Remote sensing; Boreal mixed mires; Object Based Image Analysis OBIA ; random forest RF ;

    Abstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

  6. 5. 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.
