  1. 1. Towards the Use of Satellite Data in Security Policy-Related Prediction

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

    Författare :Mary Chrishani Jayaweera; [2021]
    Nyckelord :satellite imagery; earth observation; remote sensing; nighttime lights; conflict prediction; time series; intercalibration; big data; cloud computing; machine learning;

    Sammanfattning : Inadequate economic data makes it more difficult for its incorporation in security-policy related prediction and there is a need for alternative datasets. Satellite data, more specifically nighttime lights data, can be used as a proxy for the economy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Investigating UV nightglow within the framework of the JEM-EUSO Experiments

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Författare :Frej-Eric Emmoth; [2020]
    Nyckelord :JEM-EUSO; Airglow; Atmospheric Gravity Waves; EUSO-TA; Mini-EUSO;

    Sammanfattning : The main mission of the JEM-EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory) Collaborationis to observe Cosmic Rays. These high energy particles come from a variety of sources and bombard the Earth all the time. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Disaggregating economic inequality from space

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

    Författare :Neija Maegaard Elvekjær; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite VIIRS ; night-time lights; Gross Domestic Product GDP ; economic inequality; regional inequality; spatial inequality; Gini coefficient; spatial scale; Social Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Reducing inequality is number 10 of the United Nations sustainable development goals. Inequality in society affect economic growth, development and poverty reduction, and through these indirectly affect environmental degradation, food security and other major problems facing society today.

  5. 4. Global satellite data as proxies for urbanization in flood prone areas

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Florian van Schaik; [2018]
    Nyckelord :flood exposure; global satellite data; urbanization; remote sensing; sustainable development;

    Sammanfattning : Delta regions are typically characterized by their high population density, low elevation, and risk of flooding. Long term planning and preparation is needed to mitigate the adverse effects of floods. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Geo-spatial electricity demand assessment & hybrid off-grid solutions to support electrification efforts using OnSSET : the case study of Tanzania

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Energisystemanalys

    Författare :Babak Khavari; Andreas Sahlberg; [2017]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Increased access to modern energy fuels, especially electricity, is of high importance in order to promote sustainable development in developing countries. High quality planning processes using well developed energy models are required for globally increased electrification rates. LÄS MER
