Abstract: <p>This thesis presents an exploration of the requirements for and development of a software tool to calculate Certified Emission Reduction (CERs) credits for afforestation and reforestation projects conducted under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). We examine the relevant methodologies and tools to determine what is required to create a software package that can support a wide variety… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Wrozyna, Mason Walter, Thesis advisor (ths): Ponce-Hernandez, Raul, Degree committee member (dgc): Gibson, Carey, Degree committee member (dgc): Franklin, Steven E, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Currently, UAVs are deployed to measure crop health in a timely manner by mapping vegetation indices. A study using two different fields was conducted in order to search for a relationship that may exist between crop health and soil fertility. A UAV equipped with sensor technology was used for mapping of vegetation indices which were then statistically compared to soil nutrient data… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Janik, Gabrielle, Thesis advisor (ths): Ponce-Hernandez, Raul, Degree committee member (dgc): Hutchinson, Tom, Degree committee member (dgc): Beresford, David, Degree committee member (dgc): Thompson, Karen, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis uses three approaches to assess the potential of permaculture in Central Ontario. This was done using a vegetable field trial and modelling programs to determine the effectiveness of permaculture to decrease negative impacts of climate change based on projected climate values derived from regional circulation models. The first approach showed no statistical difference (P<0… more
