1. Torkstress hos urbana träd i Göteborg: Effekter av låg vattentillgång under torkan 2018
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : During late spring and most of the summer in the year of 2018 the weather in Sweden was more extreme than normal, with high temperatures and few rainfalls. This resulted in a drought, of which the effects were noticed all over the country. One of the noticeable effects was an earlier leaf abscission from trees. LÄS MER
2. 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 miljövetenskapSammanfattning : 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
3. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.

4. Energy demand and biogas production in rural areas : A case study in the Raqayapampa community in Bolivia
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : Improved access to energy can greatly improve living standards, and there are correlations between increased access to electricity and higher scores on both the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Educational Development Index (EDI). Increasing access to energy can also help decrease dependability on hazardous fuels and energy sources, such as firewood for cooking. LÄS MER
5. Evaluation of Heat Mapping Techniques – the Case of Linköping
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakultetenSammanfattning : Land surface temperature (LST) and mean radiant temperature (MRT) are commonly used as proxies to evaluate urban heat environments. Many scholars use one of them to represent heat exposure when assessing the urban thermal environment. LÄS MER
