Non-SCI publications/theses

• • GIS and remote sensing master project - Landscapes are not static and in Mediterranean regions such as Catalonia fire is driving to a large extent current changes in forest extent and composition. In her master work Núria Aquilué has addressed different questions regarding to the complexity of calibrating landscape realistic models.
