1. Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh water into the oceans due to melting of the Earth’s land ice together with thermosteric changes has led to a rise of the global mean sea level with an accelerating rate during the twentieth century.

2. Seasonal Variability of Ice Nucleating Particles (INP) in Southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : Cloud ice crystals are formed by ice-nucleating particles (INPs). The micro-physical properties of clouds, precipitation formation and the life cycle of clouds are strongly influenced by the presence or absence of ice. Therefore knowledge of atmospheric INP concentrations is crucial to improve weather forecasting and climate projections. LÄS MER
3. Sustainable use of calcium nitrate fertilizer under variable precipitation, soil properties and crop management
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentSammanfattning : Application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen leaching. Accordingly, there is a need to increase knowledge about sustainable farming practices to reduce nitrogen losses to the environment without curtailing crop harvest. LÄS MER
4. LFA support in a changing climate : the interaction between the LFA support and drought periods on the use of agricultural land in Sweden
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EconomicsSammanfattning : With climate change follows an expectation of more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and change in seasonal shifts. How climate variability might impact Swedish agriculture and interact with existing policy aiming at keeping agricultural land in production is not well understood. LÄS MER
5. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. LÄS MER
