1. 1. Kustnära ekosystem som skydd mot naturkatastrofer : en litteraturstudie från ett riskhanteringsperspektiv

   Magister-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för samhälls- och livsvetenskaper

   Författare :Carl Bonander; [2013]
   Nyckelord :riskhantering; naturkatastrof; mangrove; saltvattenträsk; korallrev; klimat; våtmark; tsunami; stormflod; vågdämpning;

   Sammanfattning : Research suggests that society's vulnerability to natural disasters along coasts could increase as a result of climate change, which is likely to lead to elevated sea levels and possibly an increase in the occurance of meteorological phenomena such as storms and tropical cyclones. Following the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, both of which received considerable media attention, empirical data has indicated that coastal vegetation might be able to protect and reduce damages to coastal communities during tsunami events and tropical cyclones.

3. 2. The dynamic mooring force on a wave energy Calculating the tensile force acting on the mooring structure from

   H-uppsats, Chalmers tekniska högskola/Institutionen för teknisk fysik

   Författare :NICOLAS BERNER WOLF; [2012]
   Nyckelord :dynamic mooring force wave energy converter;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis tries to answer the question on how to best moor a wave energy converterthat has the shape of a hose. A water wave test tank is used on a model with a scale ofapproximately 1:2.3 of that of the full size structure and the tensile force acting on themooring line is then measured with a load cell.

4. 3. Estimating contemporary methane emissions from tropical wetlands using multiple modelling approaches

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

   Författare :Shubangi Lamba; [2012]
   Nyckelord :uppskalning; LPJ-GUESS; modellering; tropisk våtmark; metanutsläpp; methane emissions; tropical wetlands; modelling; upscaling; physical geography; ecosystem analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Estimating contemporary methane emissions from tropical wetlands using multiple modelling approachesMethane gas makes a significant contribution to the greenhouse effect happening on the planet. In modern times, natural wetlands are the biggest source of methane gas as compared to other sources of natural origin. LÄS MER

5. 4. Salinity Intrusion into the Maha Oya Estuary and Associated Coastal Waterway

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Författare :Don Clerance Denzil Weerakkody; [2012]
   Nyckelord :Salinity intrusion; the Maha Oya; stratified flow; time-varying model; two-layer model; salt water wedge.; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The Maha Oya (river) originates in the Kandy district of Sri Lanka and travels about 130 km passing four districts to reach the sea at Kochchikade in Sri Lanka. It holds the 3rd largest average annual runoff among the 103 of distinct river basins in Sri Lanka. Its contribution as a fresh water source is of great significance. LÄS MER

7. 5. Evaluating the Potential of Seabased's Wave Power Technology in New Zealand

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära; Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Författare :Marcus Krell; Linnea Jonsson; [2011]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to provide Seabased Industry AB with a decision basis forentering the New Zealand market. With the moderate wave climate around theSwedish coast, the main market for Seabased’s technology is on the internationalmarket. LÄS MER
