  1. 11. Forecasting Volatility of Electricity Intraday Log Returns with Generalized Autoregressive Score Models

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Författare :Gustav Veres; Philip Ahlfridh; [2023-06-29]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : We forecast volatility of electricity intraday log returns with Generalized Autoregressive Score (GAS) models. We extend our GAS models with variables representing the difference between the public’s expectation of weather and energy load and the actual outcome using a restricted ARMA(4,4) model. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Trees as heat stress mitigators. The frequency of heat and cold stress in a redevelopment area in Borås, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Simon Wiklund Wagersten; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :Cold stress; heat stress; SOLWEIG; thermal comfort; TreePlanter;

    Sammanfattning : As future climate is predicted to generate higher temperatures as well as more frequent extreme weather scenarios, it is essential to plan to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an attempt to mitigate one effect of climate change, this master’s thesis examines both the heat and cold stress at the area Pulsen in Borås Stad, both as the conditions are today, and after the implementation of a new detail plan.

  4. 13. 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. 14. Småbrukbondens förökningsmetoder på Siargao - Traditionellt småbruk på en tropisk ö i Stilla havet, Filippinerna

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård

    Författare :Mary Bergenheim; [2023-05-12]
    Nyckelord :traditional knowledge; tacit knowledge; sustainable farming in tropics; propogation;

    Sammanfattning : Several studies and reports regarding traditional knowledge are describing the importance of this knowledge in development of a sustainable farming in the future. Traditional farming is important in sustaining ecosystems and their services as well as the planets biodiversity. LÄS MER

  7. 15. 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
