1. Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh water into the oceans due to melting of the Earth’s land ice together with thermosteric changes has led to a rise of the global mean sea level with an accelerating rate during the twentieth century.

2. Primary Drivers of Sea Level Variability in the North – Baltic Sea Transition Using Machine Learning
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Global mean sea level is rising, however not uniformly. Regional deviations of sea surface height (SSH) are common due to local drivers, including surface winds, ocean density stratifications, vertical land- & crustal movements and more. LÄS MER
3. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserSammanfattning : 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.

4. Sink or Swim: Sea Level Rise Adaptation in Venice, Italy : A case of citizen non-participation
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Due to global warming, sea levels will irreversibly continue to rise around the world throughout this century. Therefore, coastal urban communities will need to adapt to new environmental challenges, such as more frequent and intense flood events. LÄS MER
5. Freedom and Movement for Humans and Wild Animals : A journey along the German-Danish border fence
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historiaSammanfattning : In December 2019, the Danish government finished building a fence on the border with Germany. Although the fence was nominally intended to prevent wild boar entering Denmark, the government had recently acquired enough barbed wire to reinforce it against human migrants. LÄS MER
