1. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Recognizing the imperative transition towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, this study explores the outlooks for offshore wind power in Norway, a country endowed with extensive coastlines and favourable wind conditions. The thesis sets out to support decision-making processes by synthesizing contemporary research and applying context-specific insights to the southern half of the Norwegian economic zone (NEZ) into a comprehensive Spatial-Multi-criteria Analysis (SMCA).

2. African elephants' effect on the temporal use of elephant highway by predator and prey. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : African savanna elephants (Loxondonta africana) are the world’s largest land-mammal and are considered a keystone species. The effect they have on vegetation and their environment is well known, but their effect on other animal species is less studied. LÄS MER
3. Estimating historic ranges of extinct scavenging birds from North America during the late Pleistocene using co-occurrence data from the fossil record
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : The aim of my study was to estimate and compare the historic range of nine scavenging birds from North America that went jointly extinct with their mammalian megafaunal prey in the Late Pleistocene. Although the severity and timing of their co-extinction are strongly correlated, there has been little analytical support in providing estimates for the possible geographic distribution of scavenging birds prior to the extinction event.

4. The Plight of the Pangolin: Key patterns enabling the illegal wildlife trade of pangolins in Namibia - A multi-perspective case study
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and ManagementSammanfattning : The pangolin is the most trafficked mammal on earth and is believed to be on the brink of extinction. However, in many affected countries including Namibia, research and conservation efforts do not match their endangered status. LÄS MER
5. Fysiologiska effekter vid stående och liggande immobilisering av asiatiska och afrikanska elefanter : praktisk utvärdering och litteraturstudie
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesSammanfattning : Elefanten är världens nu största landlevande däggdjur och alla tre arter som finns är listade som hotade av olika grad. Att immobilisera vilda elefanter är en del av det artbevarande arbetet. Även elefanter i djurparker och så kallade arbetselefanter kan behöva immobiliseras, till exempel för vård eller transporter.
