Lasse Keetz is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Geosciences and has an M.Sc. in physical geography and ecosystem science. For his thesis, he is using machine learning to study climate-vegetation interactions in high-latitude ecosystems. The interdisciplinary project is organized through the LATICE (Land-ATmosphere Interactions in Cold Environments) research initiative in collaboration with the Natural History Museum (NHM), where he is spending most of his working hours.
In this seminar, Lasse will present his ongoing work on using machine learning to model the spatial distribution of Norwegian Vegetation Types (VT). Here, the authors use environmental rasters (e.g., climatic variables, land cover surveys, spectral satellite data) representing mainland Norway to predict VT occurrences via pixel-based supervised classification.
Program
11:30 – Doors open and lunch is served
12:00 – Short talk by Lasse Keetz (PhD Candidate, Department of Geosciences)
This event is open for all PhD candidates and postdocs. No registration needed.
About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch, soft drinks and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch to PhD candidates in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies hus every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here (download).
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long! Read more about the seminar series here.
