  1. 1. Puerto Rico Renewable Energy Oasis : Enhancing Disaster Relief and Recovery Efforts Through a Renewable Energy Microgrid in the University of Puerto Rico's Mayagüez Campus

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Arturo Garcia Palou; Jacob Mason; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : With the global rise in temperatures fueling an increase in Severe Weather Events (SWE) such as hurricanes, many islands around the world who lie in their path are seeking alternatives to their frequently outdated grid systems. These are often composed of dated infrastructure prone to damage during such events that leaves the dependent population without power for extended periods of time. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Terrestrial Management: Ecological farming in Puerto Rico

    Master-uppsats, Malmö högskola/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

    Författare :Tracy Trägårdh; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Terrestrial; management; multispecies; post-qualitative inquiry; plantationocene;

    Sammanfattning : According to the 2022 IPCC report on mitigation of climate change, a transformational change is necessary in every aspect of society, industry and commerce by 2030 in order to keep global temperatures within safe limits. What would this transformation look like and how do we begin? I argue that applying Bruno Latour’s concept of the Terrestrial can help lead us towards the path of transformation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. How Does Intraspecific Trait Variation Influence the Climate Niche Breadth of Tropical Tree Species?

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Helene Hansen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :intraspecific variation; niche breadth; plants;

    Sammanfattning : With the contribution of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) to ecological processes being increasingly appreciated, its role in defining niche characteristics arises as a topic of interest. I hypothesised that species with a high magnitude of ITV would occupy a larger climate niche breadth than species with little ITV.

  5. 4. Microgrids for increasing resilience and sustainability in island nations - An explorative case study of scenarios in Puerto Rico

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Författare :Angelica Rivera Diaz; [2021]
    Nyckelord :microgrids; resilience; microgrid business models; scenarios; Business and Economics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Microgrids and distributed renewable energy have the potential to facilitate management and adaptation for climate change. While research on microgrids has been developing for the past decades, further studies are necessary to expand on business models and scenarios which lead to their successful commercialization and implementation.

  7. 5. Statehood/Freedom- An Argumentation analysis of Hawaii and Puerto Rico’s position as territories of the United States of America

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Leo Carlsson Theander; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Statehood; Hawaii; Puerto Rico; Argumentation Analysis; Validity Claims; Law and Political Science;

    Sammanfattning : In the context of former American colonies, statehood can for some be seen as either the end of colonization or the culmination of it. This paper will conduct an argumentation analysis to determine how the public debate surrounding the statehood question has been constructed and legitimized in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. LÄS MER
