  1. 1. Torkstress hos urbana träd i Göteborg: Effekter av låg vattentillgång under torkan 2018

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Andrea Sartorius; [2023-10-27]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : During late spring and most of the summer in the year of 2018 the weather in Sweden was more extreme than normal, with high temperatures and few rainfalls. This resulted in a drought, of which the effects were noticed all over the country. One of the noticeable effects was an earlier leaf abscission from trees. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Staying Afloat - Examining the Resilience of the European Inland Waterway Transportation Industry in the Face of Climate Related Disruptions: A Policy and Resilience Analysis

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Författare :Linnea Ahlgren; Hibaakh Jamac; [2023-07-03]
    Nyckelord :Climate Change; Inland Waterway Transportation; Inland Barge Companies; Inland Ports; Policies and Initiatives; Adaptation; Extreme Weather;

    Sammanfattning : Due to its lower emissions in comparison to other modes of transport, inland waterway transportation (IWT) has been increasingly considered a sustainable option by the European Union (EU), prompting a focus on transitioning towards it in recent years. However, the impact of climate change has led to a rise in extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, over the past few decades. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Land Use Changes After Drought Periods in California, USA

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

    Författare :Mak Uscuplic Saravanja; [2023]
    Nyckelord :droughts; land use; severe; devastating; natural hazards; torka; markanvändning; allvarlig; förödande; naturfaror;

    Sammanfattning : Since ancient times, mankind has faced a constant battle against natural hazards. From the earlieststages of human communication, when human beings communicate by some sort of harsh gruntsand unintelligible words, people were struck by the awe-inspiring power of nature as floods, storms,earthquakes, and other events which reshaped their environment and way of living.

  5. 4. Investigating the response of terrestrial evapotranspiration to droughts in Africa : A combined remote sensing and modeling approach

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Yang Foo; [2023]
    Nyckelord :earth observation; terrestrial evapotranspiration; drought; vegetation-climate interactions;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is posing a significant threat to terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, in part due to the more frequent occurrence of extreme climatic events such as droughts. While the importance of drought impacts on vegetation has been widely recognized, the time-dependent characteristics of drought-induced response remain insufficiently understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe

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

    Författare :Carl Holmquist; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; LPJ-GUESS; drought; sensitivity analysis; evapotranspiration; gross primary production; hydraulic parameters; boreal forest.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. LÄS MER
