16. 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 miljövetenskapSammanfattning : 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
17. Modelling Micropollutant Removal Through Ozonation in Wastewater
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Sammanfattning : Proper management of water resources is a key to climate change adaptation and resilience in modern societies. Adequate treatment of wastewater is essential for ensuring the sustainability of the water cycle and the health of the environment and the ecosystems that inhabit it. LÄS MER
18. 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.

19. Can urban tree re-inventories inform future species selection? : diameter at breast height as an indicator for tree performance in Malmö municipality’s tree database
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)Sammanfattning : Using the inventory database of trees for Malmö municipality, Sweden, this study explored the potential of using the diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement in re-inventories, as a decision-making tool for species selection and management in urban forests. With the escalating pressures of urbanization and unpredictable climate change effects, there is an urgent need for urban forest managers to possess reliable tools that can facilitate the selection of resilient tree species capable of thriving in diverse and changing urban contexts.

20. Are large clearcuts the only way to manage forests? : a study of economic performance and deadwood production of various silviculture systems
Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research CentreSammanfattning : Our forests are a natural resource which is needed for many purposes. Their importance and different values are expressed in the Swedish legislation, where production and environmental goals are set as equal. To many it is not sufficient, there has been a debate regarding how forests are managed and the practice of clear-cutting for decades. LÄS MER
