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

    Författare :Matilda Lundström; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; climate change; climate adaptation; sea level rise; climate communication; visualization; GIS; SCALGO; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The ongoing climate change has caused an increase in the global mean sea level, and this sea level rise is predicted to continue during the 21st century. The importance of including climate change in decision making is becoming more and more recognized and increasingly important for decisions yielding consequences on longer time scales. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

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