  1. 11. A CINEMATIC VILLAGE FOR A CHANGING LANDSCAPE - AN ALPINE ROMANTIC STORY

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Arkitektur

    Författare :Diana Sacco; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Alps; Aosta Valley; Oyace; Artificial lake; Climate change; Fiction; Cinematic; Novel; Narrative; Village; Staging; Performative; Future landscapes; awareness; Movie; wilderness; artefice; constructed;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change has already had noticeable effects on the environment. Glaciers are retreating, ice on lakes and rivers is melting earlier, plant and animal species have relocated, and trees are blooming sooner. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Adapting to melting glaciers : how Western Himalayan societies frame climate change and adaptation

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Taha Anis; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Adaptation; identity; risk and Information; authority; Himalayas; frame analysis; Gilgit-Baltistan; Pakistan;

    Sammanfattning : The glaciers of the Hindu-Kush Himalayas region flow into 10 major river basins and sustain nearly 2 billion people, with 250 million being directly dependent on them for freshwater sources while a further 1.65 billion rely on their outflows. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Dhruv Maniktala; [2022]
    Nyckelord :snow cover; snow disappearance; snow onset; snow-free duration; CARRA; Svalbard;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid warming in the Arctic is highly impacting the cryosphere in the region, causing melting of the sea ice, retreat of glaciers and reduction in the snow cover. If suffering further temperature increase, the albedo of the region would reduce due to higher absorption of the solar radiation in snow-free areas. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Vegetation cover change on Tindfjöll mountains, Iceland, assessed by aerial photographs, topography, and climate

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

    Författare :Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Environmental changes; High Latitudes; Physical Geography; Ecosystem sciences; GIS; Climate Change; Vegetation change; Vegetation cover; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir Climate change is having a great impact on the fragile High Latitude environment where warming is occurring at a rate at least double the global average. It is urgent to understand the relationship between climate and vegetation cover, which is playing an important role, as a carbon sink, for biodiversity, and for protecting against natural hazards.

  7. 15. Post-IR IRSL dating of K-feldspar from Loess at Lowland Point, SW England : Developing a Chronology for Past Climate Records

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Elin Törnqvist; [2022]
    Nyckelord :loess; post-IR IRSL; Lowland Point; SW England; Quaternary; löss; post-IR IRSL; Lowland Point; England; kvartär;

    Sammanfattning : Loess deposits are terrestrial clastic sediments derived from aeolian deposition. Loess is transported in periglacial conditions and was mainly deposited in cold environments around glaciers during the Quaternary period. LÄS MER
