2. 1. Remote Sensing of Urbanization and Environmental Impacts

   Author : Jan Haas; Yifang Ban; Lars Eklund; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Remote Sensing; Classification; Land Use Land Cover; Support Vector Machine; Random Forest; Urbaniztion; Environmental Impact; Landscape Metrics; Ecosystem Services; Geomatik; Geomatics;

   Abstract : The unprecedented growth of urban areas all over the globe is nowadays maybe most apparent in China having undergone rapid urbanization since the late 1970s. The need for new residential, commercial and industrial areas leads to new urban regions challenging sustainable development and the maintenance and creation of a high living standard as well as the preservation of ecological functionality.

4. 2. Temporal Characteristics of Boreal Forest Radar Measurements

   Author : Albert Monteith; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antenna array; Synthetic aperture radar; temporal coherence; tomography; backscatter; remote sensing;

   Abstract : Radar observations of forests are sensitive to seasonal changes, meteorological variables and variations in soil and tree water content. These phenomena cause temporal variations in radar measurements, limiting the accuracy of tree height and biomass estimates using radar data. READ MORE

5. 3. Tree stem diameter estimation from terrestrial point clouds

   Author : Mona Forsman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Forest owners, governments, and environmental organizations demand forest information for planning of forest operations, estimation of value, and for environmental monitoring. This information is collected using airborne and satellite remote sensing combined with field inventory of sample plots. READ MORE

6. 4. Estimation of forest parameters using 3D satellite data : stereogrammetry, radargrammetry and interferometry

   Author : Henrik Persson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Accurate data about the forest are needed both in climate research and forest management planning. This thesis focuses on using different types of three-dimensional (3D) satellite data sources to accurately estimate forest variables, primarily above-ground biomass (AGB) and tree height (H).

7. 5. Soil moisture conditions control nutrient accumulation, carbon storage and tree growth in boreal forest landscapes

   Author : Johannes Larson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Forest and soil properties change across landscapes due to the complex interactions between various environmental factors. In many landscapes, topography exerts a major influence on the variation in soil moisture conditions, which in turn largely affects soil properties and processes. READ MORE
