1. 6. Accounting for geographic basis risk in agricultural weather index insurance : how kriging prediction may improve protection against climate risk

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Författare :Daniel Leppert; [2019]
   Nyckelord :agricultural economics; geographic basis risk; weather index insurance; kriging; climate change;

   Sammanfattning : Weather index insurance is a potential solution to a widely acknowledged problem of information asymmetries in agricultural crop insurance. Insurance where payouts depend on a weather index relies on accurate estimates of local weather, such as temperature and rainfall. LÄS MER

3. 7. Relationship between Shear-Wave Velocity and Consolidation Parameters of Peat

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Författare :Oskar Markström; [2018]
   Nyckelord :shear wave velocity; peat; constant rate of strain; consolidation parameters; von Post; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : There is a need of developing methods for evaluating material parameters for peat. It is hard and costly to obtain undisturbed samples for laboratory testing of the peat. Therefore, in this thesis the possibility of using in situ measurements of the shear wave velocity for first order estimates of the consolidation parameters has been investigated. LÄS MER

4. 8. Inter-Calibration of Optical Sensors and Implications for Water Quality Monitoring

   Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Svenja-Maria Hoffmeister; [2017]
   Nyckelord :Absorbance; fluorescence; optical sensors; DOC; turbidity; water quality; Absorbans; fluorescens; optiska sensorer; DOC; turbiditet; vattenkvalité;

   Sammanfattning : Expected changes in water quality due to a changing climate associated with variabilities in rainfall, runoff and diffusive spreading of pollution pose an emerging risk for the drinking water supply. Extensive monitoring of water quality parameters is of importance and the possibility of sudden extreme events brings up the need of high-frequency measurements. LÄS MER

5. 9. Rainfall Runoff Modeling in Kävlinge River Basin with HEC-HMS: Hydrologic Response to the Climate of the Future

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Författare :Kaitlin Wicher; [2016]
   Nyckelord :HEC-HMS; Rainfall Runoff; Kävlinge; Modeling; GIS; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : This Master's thesis work was carried out at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering in conjunction with Sydvatten AB, Southern Sweden's drinking water provider and their research division Sweden Water Research. The purpose of the study was to gain an understanding of the runoff response in the Kävlinge River Basin and study the increased runoff that is expected to occur due to climate change using the modeling program HEC-HMS, the hydrological engineering center of the Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Modeling System.

7. 10. On Climate Change and Its Impact on Extreme Rainfall in Bangladesh

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Författare :Nasrin Sultana; [2015]
   Nyckelord :Key words: generalized extreme value distribution; generalized Pareto distribution; return level; bivariate extreme value distribution; bivariate generalized Pareto distribution; climate change; dependence.; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Sammanfattning : In recent years extreme value distributions have attracted a fair amount of attention in literature for risk assessment based on climate data. This thesis focuses on modeling a series of rainfall data over 58 years in the period 1954-2012 recorded at five different stations in Bangladesh. LÄS MER
