  1. 1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting

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

    Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2024]
    Keywords : artificial waterways; riparian zone; novel ecosystems; ; forestry; ditch network maintenance; species richness; hill-diversity; drainage ditches; coarse woody debris; ditch cleaning; ecology;

    Abstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Modeling wave behavior with linear wave theory

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Elsa Renström; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aimed to look at the behaviours of the water beneath waves from a modeling and simulations point of view. We have investigated how to use Linear wave theory (LWT) to model the kinematic movements in water governed by free ocean waves. The model assumes the surface to consist of a superposition of sinusoidal waves. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, northern Tanzania

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Henriette Nishimwe; [2023]
    Keywords : Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater; Mobilization; Mount Meru; Geochemical and Spatial Modelling; Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater; Mobilization; Mount Meru; Geochemical and Spatial Modelling;

    Abstract : In Tanzania, approximately 76% of the drinking water supplies is dependent on groundwater sources. However, the groundwater in north Tanzania is susceptible to contamination by arsenic and fluoride. This study examines the spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, located in northern Tanzania. READ MORE
