  • Elephant movement closely tracks precipitation - driven vegetation dynamics in a Kenyan forest - savanna landscape

    • Authors: Bohrer, Gil;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • This study investigates the ranging behavior of elephants in relation to precipitation-driven dynamics of vegetation. Movement data were acquired for five bachelors and five female family herds during three years in the Marsabit protected area in Kenya and changes in vegetation were mapped using MODIS normalized difference vegetation index time series (NDVI). In the study area, elevations of 650 to 1100 m.a.s.l experience two growth periods per year, while above 1100 m.a.s.l. growth periods last a year or longer.

  • Characterization and remote detection of onshore hydrocarbon seep - induced alteration

    • Authors: van der Meer, F.D.; Salati, S.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Thesis reviews previously published remote sensing studies on hydrocarbon seep-induced alteration; describes quantitatively the spatial pattern and spatial distribution of oil/gas seeps and their associated alterations with geological features; analyses the spectral and chemical characteristics of alteration induced by hydrocarbon seep from field data in order to getting a better understanding of oil and gas migration through the stratigraphy in relation to the various types of seeps in the Zagros belt and investigate the potential of detection of hydrocarbon seep-induced alteration for petroleum explorations; applied a template matching algorithm to ASTER data; investigates whether high spatial resolution WV2 satellite imagery and multispectral ASTER are able to detect gas-induced ...

  • Integrating water resources modelling and remote sensing in Karkeh River Basin, Iran

    • Authors: Verhoef, W.; Muthuwatta, L.P.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Thesis provides a brief description of the Karkheh River Basin, including geography, climate, agriculture, hydrology, demography, water management and the data used in this study; presents a literature review on satellite remote sensing and hydrological models applied in water resources management; presents the estimation of water availability and water consumption by the different vegetation classes in the Karkheh River Basin; preference-based multi-variable calibration using streamflow and actual evapotranspiration is described; strategies to improve wheat production in the basin to meet the production targets of 2025 are evaluated.

  • Remote sensing and modelling of snow processes

    • Authors: Su, Z.; Malik, M.J.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Thesis presents the retrievals of snow cover’s variables (snow albedo and snow coverage) from RS measurements the simulation of snowpack processes by a LSM using different snow albedo parameterizations; demonstrated the potential of reducing uncertainties in LSM simulations through assimilation of satellite-retrieved snow albedo; summarizes the research and discusses the challenges for future research.
