  1. 1. Kartläggning av krisberedskapen på nötkreatursgårdar i Uppland : en intervjustudie av lantbrukares uppfattningar om sårbarheter och styrkor i beredskapen på mjölk- och köttgårdar

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Christine Dahl; [2024]
    Nyckelord :nötkreatur; ko; mjölkko; kris; krisberedskap; beredskap; beredskapsplan; lantbrukare; resiliens;

    Sammanfattning : Primärproduktionen, där animalieproduktion är en del, behöver kunna fortgå trots störningar så som mer extrema väderförhållanden med långdragen torka eller kraftiga skyfall, större sjukdomsutbrott eller i värsta fall väpnad konflikt. Idisslare har en viktig roll i vår livsmedelsförsörjning men i dagsläget vet vi väldigt lite om hur den enskilda gården skulle påverkas vid olika samhällsstörningar. 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. 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

  5. 4. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Författare :Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Nyckelord :drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Andreas Brandow; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

    Sammanfattning : 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.
