  1. 1. Uncertainties in characterising historical heatwaves in Europe

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Simon Abrahamsson; [2023-08-18]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Heatwaves are periods of excessively hot weather which can pose a threat to both the people and the agriculture affected by them, for this reason it is important for us to understand and be able to predict heatwaves. This study will therefore investigate historical heatwaves in Europe and compare the quality of different 2m surface temperature datasets and examine the possibility of using 3D temperature data to identify heatwaves.

  3. 2. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Andreas Brandow; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

    Sammanfattning : 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. 3. Kyliga lösningar för varma städer

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

    Författare :JoAnna Persson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Heat wave; urban heat island; physical planning; Nyhamnen; Sjöstaden Värmebölja; urban värmeöeffekt; fysisk planering; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Against the backdrop of anticipated increases in both the frequency and severity of heatwaves, this study examines how the municipalities of Malmö and Trelleborg consider future temperature rises. Consequently, the aim of this study has been to explore how heat is perceived as a potential risk in the urban development projects of Nyhamnen and Sjöstaden, and to investigate how the municipalities’ interpretation of the risk concept influences their perception of heat as a risk.

  7. 5. Monthly heatwave prediction in Sweden based on Machine Learning techniques with remote sensing data

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Zhuoran Li; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Heatwave Prediction; Sweden; Machine Learning; Remote Sensing Data; Värmebölja förutsägelse; Sverige; Maskininlärning; Fjärravkänningsdata;

    Sammanfattning : Heatwave events as a kind of extreme climate event, have plagued the human race for the past few years. It severely influences people’s life quality, sometimes even leads to some serious diseases. In order to alleviate the possible damages heatwave events can do, some targeted actions are necessary and forecasting heatwaves is one of them. LÄS MER
