  1. 1. Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018

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

    Författare :Gabriel Romeo Ferriols Pavico; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Wildfire; Fire Spatial Patterns; Road; Conformity; FWI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.

  3. 2. Efficiency of sustainable urban drainage systems during flash floods

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

    Författare :Snærós Axelsdóttir; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Bioretention Cell; Rain Garden; Infiltration Trench; Green Roof; Permeable Pavement; Stormwater runoff; Storm Water Management Model;

    Sammanfattning : As the world’s population is migrating more into urban areas, landcover changes follow. Natural pervious areas are being converted to impervious areas, which when subjected to rain generates more stormwater runoff. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The importance of forest forage resources and a landscape perspective, managing bumblebees (Bombus) in Swedish forest-farmland

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Författare :Linda Dimrå; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Bombus; Forest; Vaccinium Myrtillus; Landcover change;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish forest has been transformed during the last hundred years, from semi-open forest of multiple tree species to dense production forest of mainly spruce and pine. This has led to alterations of species composition in the forest floor, reducing coverage of dwarf shrubs like Vaccinium myrtillus (European blueberry). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Detecting Spruce Bark Beetle Infestations with Satellite Imagery

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Per Emil Hammarlund; [2020]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Sveaskog is Swedens largest forest owner, owning 14 percent of the Swedish forest lands. Recently, due to warmer and drier summers as a consequence of climate change, spruce bark beetles have caused damages at a massive scale. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Resilience Through Form : A case study of Metro Boston, Exploring the Relationship of Urban Form & Extreme Heat

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Författare :Gavin Lewis; [2019]
    Nyckelord :urban heat island; extreme heat; urban form; resilience; remote sensing; Metropolitan Boston;

    Sammanfattning : The severity of extreme heat events paired with the urban heat island effect cannot be overstated, as the impacts are substantial and widespread, affecting peak energy demands, transport systems, air and water quality, and most notably causing heat-related illnesses and death. These consequences make evident the importance of reducing heat in urban areas and ensuring that urban populations are safe during extreme heat events. LÄS MER
