  1. 16. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

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

    Författare :Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Demographic equilibrium modelling of single tree selection stands in Siljansfors : judging the sustainability of single tree selection systems in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Ludwig Olofsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :CCF; continuous cover forestry; single tree selection; equilibrium models; forestry;

    Sammanfattning : Lately debates have occurred questioning the rotation system, which is the most used silvicultural system in Sweden. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has therefore been suggested as an alternative management method, due to its environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and higher resilience against extreme weather which is important with the current climate change.

  4. 18. 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)

    Författare :Veronica Lennefors; Linnéa Saiduddin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :vattendistribution; vattenhantering; vattenbrist; klimatförändringar; ursprungsbefolkning;

    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.

  5. 19. Mine Action and Climate Change: A Case Study of Water in Yemen

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Sociologi

    Författare :Amani Abdulqader; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Climate change; conflict; Yemen; Mine action; water; peacebuilding; sustainable development; resource management; governance; droughts; floods; climate mitigation; risk and disaster management.; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The following research explores a critical intersection between the work of mine action and the climate. It addresses the amplified impacts of climate change on water in Yemen, a country afflicted by protracted conflict and growing climate threats. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Adapting to Extreme Weather Events : - Addressing Flood Risks Through Planning and Policy in Namibia

    Master-uppsats, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för fysisk planering

    Författare :Tim Licke; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Spatial planning; strategical spatial planning; planning; adaptation; climate; resilience; floods; town planning; Namibia; Efundja; Implementation; climate change; extreme weather; policy; mitigation; Fysisk planering; strategisk fysisk planering; planering; anpassning; klimat; motståndskraft; översvämningar; stadsplanering; Namibia; Efundja; Implementering; klimatförändringar; extremväder; policy;

    Sammanfattning : This master thesis investigates planning initiatives to address extreme weather events' impacts, specifically focusing on floods in Namibia. The study highlights the significance of such events in the context of global climate change, emphasising their adverse effects on livelihoods, particularly in rural communities and informal settlements.
