  1. 1. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sandra Lujic; [2023-08-18]
    Nyckelord :Older adults; urban outdoor environments; behaviour; preferences; thermal comfort;

    Sammanfattning : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Heat Stress at Playgrounds A case Study in Gothenburg, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Johanna Rasmussen; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :Heat Stress; Thermal Comfort; Tmrt; SOLWEIG; TreePlanter; Children; Playgrounds;

    Sammanfattning : The climate will change in the future as it will become warmer with higher temperatures generating extreme weather events such as heat waves. Children are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to being exposed to heat which is partly due to the fact that they have a harder time thermoregulating themselves. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Rebecca Johansson; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :climate adaptation; heat mitigation; heat stress; urban planning;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. LÄS MER

  5. 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 miljövetenskap

    Författare :Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
    Nyckelord :heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

    Sammanfattning : 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

  7. 5. Thermal tolerance of native vs. invasive marine species at the Northern coast of Portugal

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sofie Michelsen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Biodiversity; Climate change; Marine ecosystems; Marine heat waves; Intertidal environment; Invasive species; Macroalgae; Mussels; Sustainable Development; Thermal tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : Two prominent factors posing a major threat to biodiversity in marine ecosystems are climate change and the establishment of invasive species, and the interaction between these two. Because of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water, the coast of Portugal is a thermal refuge and distribution edge for cold-adapted species, making it a particularly important study area from a biodiversity point of view.
