Application of UASs to augment ground surveys in cranberry agriculture development: a proof of concept for the integration of UAS into the site identification and monitoring of cranberry farms in Newfoundland
(2017)
Assessing the potential for developing wetland environments into cranberry agricultural lands is time consuming and expensive. The addition of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to augment current ground survey techniques has ...
Technical and technological alternatives for aerial moose (Alces alces) survey
(2017)
Moose (Alces alces) aerial surveys provide the information needed for effective management only when they are accurate and precise. I aimed to identify gaps in and improve understanding of aerial moose surveys in North ...
The estimation of boreal forest properties using spectral indices
(2018)
The field of forestry has evolved to meet several objectives, including timber and other forest product production, tourism and recreation, habitat and wildlife management and climate change monitoring. As the field ...
Using trail camera imagery to develop a habitat suitability index (HSI) For moose (Alces alces) In the English River Forest, ON
(2019)
Moose are a valuable economic and ecological resource in Ontario. Understanding their spatial distribution throughout the forest is essential for managing populations and preserving habitat. One method of identifying the ...
Classification of red pine stands using remote sensing techniques
(2019)
Red pine is a historically important species for forestry in the boreal forest. Its large diameter and straight and knot free form has made it ideal for many purposes, including construction. With the new sudden turn towards ...
Lichen detectability under varying canopy closure
(2019)
Monitoring lichen distribution is of increasing concern as mapping is critical in characterizing habitat for woodland caribou. Aerial photography collected using drones, the method used for this study, is a common method ...
An assessment of the utility of an unmanned aerial vehicle for measuring tree heights in a jack pine provenance trial
(2020)
This independent study is an assessment of the utility of an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) for measuring the heights of jack pine (Pinus banksiana)
trees in a provenance trial. An electronic hypsometer, the Haglöf Vertex ...
Technologies for silviculture activities: understanding of the practicality of GIS and remote sensing, smartphone, and UAV Lidar
(2020)
This thesis explores the technologies apply in silviculture activities. Silvicultural
activities are an essential process in forest management. To meet management
objectives, the forester requires to collect any data, ...
A geospatial analysis and comparison of snow leopard and mountain lion habitat: implications for conservations and research
(2022)
Big cats form an integral part of landscape ecosystem management and are vital to the
persistence of natural habitats. Global change, alongside human interactions has severely harmed
populations of these predators, often ...
