1. 21. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data

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

   Författare :Henrik Hagelin; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Physical geography; Prometheus; WiSE-FASS; The 2014 Västmanland wildfire; Wildfire growth modelling; Wildfire suppression support; Wildfire behaviour; MESAN; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. LÄS MER

3. 22. Decentralizing electricity generation in Cuba : Implementation of a microgrid in the sugar mil lCarlos Baliño

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Författare :Aylin Berber; Cornelia Eriksson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Microgrid; renewable energy; bagasse; self-sufficiency; Microgrid; förnybar energi; bagass; självförsörjande;

   Sammanfattning : Cuba has a long history of different dependencies and is a country facing many energy challenges, and therefore seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The purpose of this degree project is therefore to conceptualize a microgrid based on renewable energy sources for local energy sustainability at the lowest cost possible. LÄS MER

4. 23. Storm Water Management with BlueGreen Infrastructure in Urban Planning : A case-study in Krokom, Sweden

   Kandidat-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Författare :Lena Suleiko Allansson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Sustainable drainage system SuDS ; nature-based solutions; ecosystem services; urban water management; climate change adaption;

   Sammanfattning : As changing climate and growing urban populations present new challenges for managing both the quantity and the quality of storm waterin cities, nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure arebecoming widely considered as an alternative to grey infrastructure. The benefits, above providing storm water management at a lower cost, are increased ecosystem services. LÄS MER

5. 24. Future climate suitability of shade trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in West Africa and shade tree diversity’s impact on farm microclimate : A Minor Field Study

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Författare :Jonna Halonen; [2023]
   Nyckelord :species distribution modeling; cocoa agroforestry; shade trees; West Africa; microclimate; distributionsmodell; kakaoskogslantbruk; skuggträd; Västafrika; mikroklimat;

   Sammanfattning : Shade trees’ implementation into cocoa agroforestry systems in tropical West Africa has proven to have a high potential in increasing farm resilience and mitigating climate change. However, no studies have yet examined the potential future climate suitability for shade trees in the region, which is important when deciding which shade trees to implement. LÄS MER
