  1. 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 miljövetenskap

    Författare :Andrea Sartorius; [2023-10-27]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : 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

  3. 2. Exploring Urban Land Cover Changes and the Effect on Nocturnal Air Temperature Dynamics in Helsingborg - A temperature modeling made with TAPM

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Amanda Bäck; [2023-10-09]
    Nyckelord :Nocturnal Air Temperature; Intra-Urban Heat Island; Land Cover Classification; Deep learning; The Air Pollution Model TAPM ; Land Cover Change;

    Sammanfattning : In light of increasing global temperatures, urban areas face growing challenges related to heat stress. Alterations in land cover (LC) within cities contribute to changes in the intra-urban climate, predominantly driven by the replacement of vegetated surfaces with impermeable materials. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sandra Lujic; [2023-08-18]
    Nyckelord :Older adults; urban outdoor environments; behaviour; preferences; thermal comfort;

    Sammanfattning : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Heat Stress at Playgrounds A case Study in Gothenburg, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Johanna Rasmussen; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :Heat Stress; Thermal Comfort; Tmrt; SOLWEIG; TreePlanter; Children; Playgrounds;

    Sammanfattning : The climate will change in the future as it will become warmer with higher temperatures generating extreme weather events such as heat waves. Children are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to being exposed to heat which is partly due to the fact that they have a harder time thermoregulating themselves. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Rebecca Johansson; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :climate adaptation; heat mitigation; heat stress; urban planning;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. LÄS MER
