1. Simulation of flooding and flood mitigation in the town of Söderköping using HEC-RAS : An investigation of floods and mitigation measures
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : This study examines the effects of flood management systems in an HEC-RAS simulation of recorded discharge in the town of Söderköping in Sweden by using easy-to-access and publicly available hydrological, landcover, and soil data. Two rivers and the precipitation of a chosen area are studied. LÄS MER
2. Using GIS and satellite data to assess access of green area for children living in growing cities
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. LÄS MER
3. Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.

4. 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 ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : 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
5. Quantity and quality of oaks (Quercus) as suitable habitats for the longhorn beetle species Plagionotus detritus : An inventory study in Stockholm and Uppsala County, Sweden
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : The longhorn beetle Plagionotus detritus is associated with newly dead oak wood and is declining throughout its distribution range. In Sweden, P.detritus has displayed one of the most dramatic reductions in distribution recorded for insect species and is near regional extinction. LÄS MER
