  1. 1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Charlotte Sophie Gausa; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Arctic; wind profile power law; MOST; boundary layer; low level jets; sea ice; vindprofil; Arktis; gränsskikt; vindenergi; låghöjdsvindar; havsis;

    Sammanfattning : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

  3. 2. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Värme och svalka i (bo)stadsmiljön. Urbana bostäder för ett föränderligt klimat genom passiv klimatreglering och ytor för odling

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :Filip Rahmn; [2024]
    Nyckelord :urban dwelling environments; passive climate control; climate- based building strategies; integrated climate control; health-threatening heat exposure; vernacular architecture; urban densification; urban greenery; urban farming; urban shade; urbana bostadsmiljöer; passiv klimatreglering; klimatbaserade byggnadssätt; integrerad klimatreglering; hälsofarlig värmeexponering; allmogearkitektur; stadsförtätning; stadsgrönska; stadsodling; stadsskugga; Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : Warm, warmer, warmest average temperatures on record. The year of 2023 was the hottest ever recorded on Earth. This heat record breaking development is described as “the new normal”, which means that future buildings must be designed with this new extreme weather normality in mind. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Klimatanpassning av svensk järnväg ur ett riskperspektiv - Var står vi och vart är vi på väg

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Nyckelord :Climate Change; Climate Change Adaptation; Critical infrastructure; Railways; weather events; extreme weather; Critical Entities; Sweden; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The world faces significant climate changes with potential societal disruptions and risks to critical infrastructure like railways. This study explores the topic of climate change, extreme weather, and changing travel patterns for Swedish railways. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Adam Törnqvist; Vincent Edberg; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Offshore wind power; Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis; Renewable energy; Suit-ability map; Geographical Information System; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Spatial multikriterieanalys; Förnybar energi; Lämp-lighetskarta; Geografiskt informationssystem;

    Sammanfattning : 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).
