1. 41. Concrete Limits: A sociometabolic analysis of the feasibility of the Circular Economy approach for the concrete sector

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Författare :Nicolette Simone Wedgwood Young; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research.

3. 42. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data

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

   Författare :Henrik Hagelin; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Physical geography; Prometheus; WiSE-FASS; The 2014 Västmanland wildfire; Wildfire growth modelling; Wildfire suppression support; Wildfire behaviour; MESAN; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. LÄS MER
