  1. 1. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :David Ebert; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

  3. 2. Flowing Coast

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Arkitektur

    Författare :Yanlin Liu; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Flood response; sea level rise; coastal cities; climate resilience;

    Sammanfattning : As a coastal city, the history and development of Helsinki are very much linked to its harbor. In particular, as the closest harbor to the city center, the South Port "Makasiiniranta" has largely served as the "gateway to the sea" of Helsinki. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Byggbar mark - En studie om hur utvalda aktörer värderar översvämningsrisk vid nybyggnation och för skydd av befintlig bebyggelse

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Författare :Hedda Skarsgård; Wilma Norlin; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Översvämning; klimatanpassning; försäkring; kommun; länsstyrelse; långivare; fysisk planering; översvämningsrisk; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flooding which require consideration in spatial planning. More frequent floods will affect the financial stability by increasing the exposure of risk for insurance companies and creditors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Improving mussel reef protection from a sustainability perspective: Mapping of a blue mussel reef in Denmark

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Lydia Alexandra Ness; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Sustainable Development; biogenic reef; blue mussels; ROV; mapping; habitat protection; earth sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Coastal areas currently face a lot of anthropogenic pressures (Erlandsson et al, 2011; Wilcox et al, 2020) which might further increase through climate change (Maltby et al, 2022). This can lead to the disappearance of crucial, habitat engineering species like blue mussels (Tummon Flynn et al, 2020). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Climate change adaptation and urban development: a genealogy of flood risk management in Glasgow

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Leopold Salzenstein; Jenny Åkeson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Adaptation; Climate urbanism; Clyde; Complexity; Floods; Foucault; Genealogy; Glasgow; Green gentrification; Maladaptation; Neoliberalism; Resilience; Risk; Scotland; General Works;

    Sammanfattning : As cities increasingly implement climate change adaptation (CCA) projects, it is important to assess the potential long-term consequences of urban climate adaptation on socio-economic inequalities. As CCA is still in its infancy, observing long-term impact can be challenging. LÄS MER
