1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. LÄS MER
2. Simulation of flooding and flood mitigation in the town of Söderköping using HEC-RAS : An investigation of floods and mitigation measures
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : This study examines the effects of flood management systems in an HEC-RAS simulation of recorded discharge in the town of Söderköping in Sweden by using easy-to-access and publicly available hydrological, landcover, and soil data. Two rivers and the precipitation of a chosen area are studied. LÄS MER
3. Expectations and reality of sustainable stormwater management : A review of implementation of Nature-Based Solutions - A case study of Southern Stockholm
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : The shrinking of permeable areas in favour of urban development is a phenomenon described in both scientific literature and policy documents. Changes in rainfall intensity and frequency following climate change are expected, but predicting the exact magnitude of these changes remains unclear. LÄS MER
4. Bidding Farewell to the Ancient City of Ashur: A Qualitative Case Study of the Social and Cultural Impacts of the Makhoul Dam in Iraq
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : This qualitative case study explores through semi-structured Interviews the social and cultural impacts of the Makhoul Dam, planned as part of Iraq’s climate change mitigation work. It was based on the research question: How do local individuals experience the Makhoul Dam’s impact on their home environments including the surrounding archaeological sites? And supported by the two operational questions: How are individuals in the dam-affected areas wellbeing and identity interlinked to their native areas including the surrounding archaeological sites? and How does the Makhoul Dam including its decision making process affect individuals in the dam-affected areas’ wellbeing and identity? By using Albrecht's theory of solastalgia, the theory of place attachment, where a broader definition of the theory was applied and community participation theory, eight sub-themes were identified under three main themes; “Our Area”, Who’s decision? and Wellbeing and identity.

5. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserSammanfattning : Due to the global warming and climate change, an increased frequency of high intensity rains and other disasters are expected all around the world. To predict this change in climate the IPCC has created a set of climate scenarios, RCPs, that will try to predict the future climate based on how much we are able to adapt and mitigate the effects we as a species have on the environment.
