    Sammanfattning : Flooding has been identified as the most widespread and most frequently occurring natural disaster by the United Nation. Sweden is no exception when it comes to being affected by flooding, and several major flood events have been seen in recent years. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Comparison of multi-temporal and multispectral Sentinel-2 and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle imagery for crop type mapping

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Stephania Zabala Ramos; [2017]
    Nyckelord :classification; Random Forest; precision agriculture; UAV; remote sensing; Micasense; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Precision Agriculture aims to maximize crop production and the efficiency of land use to meet the increased demand for food while minimizing environmental impact and economic cost of food production. Crop type maps are needed for Precision Agriculture applications and remote sensing techniques are an efficient way to produce this information. LÄS MER

  5. 24. "Be the Change?" - Exploring the Environmental Mitigation Potential of Lifestyle Changes in Europe Using a Multi-Regional Input-Output Model

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Ekosystemteknik (CI); Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Författare :Ruben Lundström; [2017]
    Nyckelord :Sustainable Consumption; Climate Mitigation; Lifestyles; Europe; MRIO; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Är det möjligt för konsumenter att vara förändringen man vill se i samhället, och därmed bidra till en hållbarare framtid? Med hjälp av en modell baserad på Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) analys undersöks den miljömässiga potentialen av olika livsstilar i EU. Europeiska hushålls fotavtryck för koldioxid, toxicitet, vatten och land beräknas för olika konsumtionsmönster. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Modeling hydrometeorological extremes in Alpine catchments

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Theo Voulgaridis; [2017]
    Nyckelord :method of fragments; HBV; rainfall disaggregation; weather generation; hydrological modeling; modeling; översvämningsmodellering; hydrologisk modellering; vädergenerator; hbv-modellen;

    Sammanfattning : Uncertainties with a modeling framework consisting of a weather generator, two precipitation disaggregation models and the hydrological HBV model was assessed with respect to hydrometeorological extremes in Tyrol, Austria. Extreme precipitation events are expected to increase in intensity and frequency in the Alps during a warmer climate. LÄS MER
