MSc thesis subject: Urban Metropolitan Profiles/Metabolism of Dutch cities
- A sound understanding of a city’s resource flows is essential for
sustainable management of these resources. Yet, current resource flow analyses... -
MSc thesis subject: A deeper look into Arctic wetlands
- Wetlands in the Arctic constitute an effective long term carbon storage. With increasing temperatures and permafrost melting, these greenhouse gases... -
MSc thesis subject: Analysing spatial and temporal distribution of forest cover loss in the Congo Basin
- An alarming rate of forest cover loss combined with more frequent extreme climate events strongly increases the pressure on tropical forest... -
MSc thesis subject: Analysing topography dependency of global forest cover loss over the last 20 years
- An alarming rate of forest cover loss combined with more frequent extreme climate events strongly increases the pressure on tropical forest... -
MSc thesis subject: Discovering historical city changes in The Netherlands using Flickr imagery
- Historical city changes are most often observed by assessing the change in
survey and census data over the years. Such an approach neglects the clues... -
MSc thesis subject: Improving tropical peatland forest cover information using Sentinel data (Study site: Congo Basin | Software: Google Earth Engine)
- An alarming rate of forest cover loss combined with more frequent extreme climate events strongly increases the pressure on tropical forest... -
MSc thesis subjet: Mapping land usages in the Swiss Alps
- Every 6 to 12 years a map of landuse in Switzerland is generated by photointerpretation of aerial imagery. This time consuming work reduces greatly... -
MSc thesis subject: Powerful representations for using deep learning object detectors with few training data
- Deep Learning models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are ubiquitous across all major computer vision tasks, such as self-driving cars or... -
MSc thesis subject: Quantifying the experience of nature for urban ecosystem service assessments using computer vision and social media data
- The positive effects of nature on mental health are well-known. In response, cities are “greening” to improve the well-being of their... -
MSc thesis subject: Coconut mapping using Sentinel data and deep learning
- The coconut palm is considered an important plant as all parts of the plant are valued at small or industrial scale. Therefore, accurate mapping and...
