1. Inferring Land Use from Remote Sensing Imagery : A context-based approach
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis investigates the potential of classification methods based on spatial context to infer specific forms of land use from remote sensing data. The problem is that some types of land use are characterized by a complex configuration of land covers that traditional per-pixel based methods have problems classifying due to spectral heterogeneity.

2. Multitemporal Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Mapping
Sammanfattning : Urban represents one of the most dynamic areas in the global change context. To support rational policies for sustainable urban development, remote sensing technologies such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) enjoy increasing popularity for collecting up-to-date and reliable information such as urban land cover/land-use.

3. Ecological rehabilitation of degraded hill slopes in southern Wello, Ethiopia
Sammanfattning : Clearing of vegetation has left large areas of southern Wello (Ethiopia) at a high risk ofland degradation. In this study, the causes, extent and consequences of land degradationproblems are reviewed. To see land cover changes, aerial photographs from 1958 and1986 were compared with the help of a GIS procedure. LÄS MER
4. Urban Land-cover Mapping with High-resolution Spaceborne SAR Data
Sammanfattning : Urban areas around the world are changing constantly and therefore it is necessary to update urban land cover maps regularly. Remote sensing techniques have been used to monitor changes and update land-use/land-cover information in urban areas for decades. Optical imaging systems have received most of the attention in urban studies. LÄS MER
5. Land Degradation and Climate in Iceland - a spatial and temporal assessment
Sammanfattning : Degradation of vegetation and soil erosion has contributed to loss of biological productivity and land degradation in Iceland. This thesis focuses on spatial and temporal patterns of land degradation in Iceland from a geographical perspective both along short and long timescales. LÄS MER
