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. Kartläggning av krisberedskapen på nötkreatursgårdar i Uppland : en intervjustudie av lantbrukares uppfattningar om sårbarheter och styrkor i beredskapen på mjölk- och köttgårdar
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesSammanfattning : Primärproduktionen, där animalieproduktion är en del, behöver kunna fortgå trots störningar så som mer extrema väderförhållanden med långdragen torka eller kraftiga skyfall, större sjukdomsutbrott eller i värsta fall väpnad konflikt. Idisslare har en viktig roll i vår livsmedelsförsörjning men i dagsläget vet vi väldigt lite om hur den enskilda gården skulle påverkas vid olika samhällsstörningar. LÄS MER
3. Trees as heat stress mitigators. The frequency of heat and cold stress in a redevelopment area in Borås, Sweden
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : As future climate is predicted to generate higher temperatures as well as more frequent extreme weather scenarios, it is essential to plan to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an attempt to mitigate one effect of climate change, this master’s thesis examines both the heat and cold stress at the area Pulsen in Borås Stad, both as the conditions are today, and after the implementation of a new detail plan.

4. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. LÄS MER
5. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikSammanfattning : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. LÄS MER
