1. Heat Stress at Playgrounds A case Study in Gothenburg, Sweden
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The climate will change in the future as it will become warmer with higher temperatures generating extreme weather events such as heat waves. Children are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to being exposed to heat which is partly due to the fact that they have a harder time thermoregulating themselves. LÄS MER
2. Rättvis vattenfördelning i klimatkrisens tid : en studie om hur Sverige kan ta lärdomar av extrema kontexter
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Sverige har hittills varit relativt förskonade från vattenproblematik, men det extrema väder orsakat av klimatförändringarna gör att även vi kan utsättas för bristande tillgångar på färskvatten och de sociala konsekvenser som medföljer. Ett sätt att förbereda oss i kampen mot det förändrade klimatet och dess konsekvenser kan vara att studera extrema kontexter, områden som redan idag visar på resultatet av klimatförändringarna.

3. Some Like It Hot: Pre-heating Prior to Bioreactor Treatment Enhances Nitrogen Removal From Mine Drainage
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraSammanfattning : Ammonium-nitrate based explosives (NH4NO3) used within the operations of Kiruna iron ore mine release nitrate (NO3-) into the environment, potentially having adverse effects on local river-systems. One way of reducing NO3- impacts to the environment is through a woodchip denitrifying bioreactor (DBR). LÄS MER
4. The intraspecific drought tolerance of Betula pendula Roth. : ecotypic aptitude as tree selection criteria for the urban landscape
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)Sammanfattning : The ecosystem services provided by urban trees are substantial contributors to the quality of urban living, and their environmentally regulating capabilities are increasingly regarded as integral in order to efficiently secure urban resilience, by ameliorating the human and material impacts of extreme weather events. However, current trends of urban development presents challenges of how to preserve urban greenery ecosystem functioning, particularly in light of the ongoing climate change; which also has brought forth the importance of taxonomically diverse urban forests, to mitigate risks of catastrophic tree loss associated with these conditions.

5. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Plant BreedingSammanfattning : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. LÄS MER
