  1. 1. Mandating transparency on deforestation and ecosystem conversion

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Författare :Moritz Driescher; [2023]
    Nyckelord :sustainability reporting; mandatory disclosure; deforestation; ecosystem conversion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The production of eggs, meat, and dairy products in the EU indirectly contributes to deforestation and ecosystem conversion (DEC) in Latin America due to extensive imports of soy for animal feed. This thesis explores under which preconditions the mandatory European Sustainability Reporting Standards for the agriculture and farming sector can increase transparency in the opaque soy supply chains and incentivize reductions of imported DEC.

  3. 2. Flow modeling and bank erosion downstream due to spillway discharge : Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree) 30 ECTS credits

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Författare :Alexander Lindblad; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Ansys Fluent; Multiphase Flow; Spillway; CFD; Volume of Fluid; Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes;

    Sammanfattning : Dam spillways and downstream areas are used to guide large flows of water during for example heavy rainfall. The large flows give way to turbulent pattern sand velocities that may damage the river banks or the dam structure. Investigation of these water patterns at certain flows are therefore done to examine at risk areas. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Examining the protective services of mangroves at a regional scale in Indonesia

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Mikaela Gomez; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Mangroves; Nature-Based Solutions; Disaster Risk Reduction; Exposure; GIS; Remote Sensing; Science General;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.

  5. 4. Stationary charging infrastructure: Managing investment risks to enable charging possibilities : A case study of a future stationary charging hub in Stockholm South

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

    Författare :Anton Olsson; Vendela Notlöv; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Stationary charging infrastructure; electrified heavy goods vehicles; sustainable transition; cost analysis; innovation ecosystem; Stationär laddinfrastruktur; elektriska tunga fordon; hållbar omställning; kostnadsanalys; innovationsekosystem;

    Sammanfattning : The electrification of heavy transport is considered a solution to climate change. Today, electrification is challenged by high investment costs for vehicles and charging, which hampers the conversion. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Plantering av skog på jordbruksmark i Sverige och dess påverkan på biologisk mångfald

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Författare :Tom Brilioth; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Biodiversity; land use change; agriculture; forestry; reforestation; literature review; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The environmental effects, not least on biodiversity, of land use and land use change provide major challenges when sustainability goals are to be met along with demand for production and other ecosystem services. Here I systematically review literature on one major land use change, from agriculture to forest, and the implications for biodiversity. LÄS MER
