  2. 1. Fish for Food and Ecosystem Function : Fisheries, Trade and Key Ecosystem Processes in Coral Reefs

    Author : Matilda Thyresson; Magnus Nyström; Edward H. Allison; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; food; key ecosystem processes; functional groups; coral reefs; trade; gear; small-scale fisheries; social-ecological systems; Zanzibar; Tanzania; Western Indian Ocean; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : Fish is a key source of food and income to millions of people living along tropical coastlines. They also play essential roles underpinning key ecosystem processes in coral reefs. For example, herbivorous fish keep algae in check that otherwise may outcompete corals, reducing the reef’s social-ecological values. READ MORE

  4. 2. The cost of free water : Water resources allocation and use in the Curu Valley, Ceará, northeast Brazil

    Author : Karin Kemper; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : Despite enormous investments in water storage infrastructure over past decades, the Curu Valley in the semi-arid state of Ceara, Northeast Brazil, is subject to increasing water stress. This study explains the current situation in the valley and explores institutional alternatives for the achievement of more efficient water resources allocation and use. READ MORE

  5. 3. Escape flight in butterflies

    Author : Maria Almbro; Cecilia Kullberg; Ronald Rutowski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Flight; Lepidoptera; gamete load; lipid accumulation; predation risk; hibernation; Biology; Biologi; zoologi; Zoology;

    Abstract : Flight is considered to be the overarching reason for the enormous diversity and world-wide abundance of insects. Not only does flight enable great distances to be covered and new areas to be colonised, flying has also evolved to be important in most adult life-history characteristics from reproduction to anti-predator strategies.

  6. 4. Multispectral Remote Sensing and Deep Learning for Wildfire Detection

    Author : Xikun Hu; Yifang Ban; Ioannis Gitas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; active fire detection; biome; multi-criteria; Sentinel-2; Landsat-8; burned area mapping; deep learning; semantic segmentation; machine learning.; aktiv branddetektering; biom; multikriterietillvägagångssätt; Sentinel-2; Landsat-8; kartläggning av bränt område; djupinlärning; semantisk segmentering; maskininlärningsmetoderna; Geoinformatik; Geoinformatics;

    Abstract : Remote sensing data has great potential for wildfire detection and monitoring with enhanced spatial resolution and temporal coverage. Earth Observation satellites have been employed to systematically monitor fire activity over large regions in two ways: (i) to detect the location of actively burning spots (during the fire event), and (ii) to map the spatial extent of the burned scars (during or after the event).
