  1. 1. Multi-scale topography assessment for site-specific drought management in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Karl Knaebel; [2021]
    Nyckelord :drought; topography; precision agriculture; Sentinel-2; DSS;

    Sammanfattning : Globally, as well as in Sweden, the occurrence of droughts is expected to increase due to global warming. The drought summer of 2018 revealed the vulnerability of Sweden’s agriculture – with cereal yield losses of up to 50 %. Subsequently, the development of more resilience crop production systems to mitigate future droughts is required. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A qualitative assessment of the effects of climate change on bridges

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Författare :Amina Arnautovic; [2020]
    Nyckelord :climate change; risk; bridges; qualitative assessment; klimatförändring; broar; kvalitativ bedömning; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is a fact and the potential climate change impacts on infrastructure are necessary to examine to ensure the safety and performance of societies. The evidence for climate change is overwhelming, the changes have been observed and the projected future based on models indicate further change. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assessment of coastal erosion to create a seagrass vulnerability index in northwestern Madagascar using automated quantification analysis

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Nat Arslan; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Seagrass; Coastal erosion; Vulnerability index; Python; Google Earth Engine; Deforestation; Turbidity; Mangrove; Madagascar;

    Sammanfattning : The seagrass extent has been declining globally. The human activities that are most likely to cause seagrass loss are those which affect the water quality and clarity. However, turbidity following coastal erosion is often left out from marine ecosystem vulnerability indices. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Social Vulnerability Indices and a Sub-municipal Index for Sweden

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

    Författare :Tobias Wagner; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Disaster risk reduction; preparedness; preparedness planning; disaster preparedness; vulnerability; social vulnerability; social vulnerability index; social vulnerability indicator; Sweden; Science General;

    Sammanfattning : The goal of risk and vulnerability research is to reduce the harm done by disasters. A disaster is a combination of a natural hazard and a vulnerable society. Understanding vulnerability is vital to reduce disaster risk, or the potential of losses in property or life. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Comparative Analysis of Social Vulnerability Indices: CDC’s SVI and SoVI®

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

    Författare :Hannah Andrea Tarling; [2017]
    Nyckelord :social vulnerability index; Social vulnerability; indices; SoVI®; CDC SVI; social vulnerability in San Francisco; California; comparative analysis; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : As interest in social vulnerability to hazards grows, more indices are formulated for identifying and mapping population groups that may experience differential consequences from natural hazards. However, less attention has been given to the underlying choices researchers make when creating these indices. LÄS MER
