  1. 1. The implications of heavy fuel oil ban in arctic waters for sustainable arctic shipping

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

    Författare :Kaung Thu; [2023-01-23]
    Nyckelord :Arctic region; heavy fuel oil; shipping; Sustainable;

    Sammanfattning : The increased temperature in the polar regions is one of the significant impacts of global warming and consequential climate change. In the Arctic, regional warming leads to the accelerated loss of sea ice caps, which has opened up new international shipping routes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Surface crevasses on Svalbard: Spatial Distribution Analysis with Focus on the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Monika Hawrylak; [2021]
    Nyckelord :crevasses; spatial distribution; model; glacier velocity; Lomonosovfonna; Svalbard;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the formation mechanics of glacial crevasses is crucial in a variety of glacial applications. Besides being a serious safety hazard during field campaigns, crevasses influence calving rates, mass balance, and the hydrological network of glaciers. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Rotation of man-made floating islands : Evaluation of different design approaches to allow rotational movement in anchoring of a sustainable island

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Författare :Mathias Petersson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Sustainability; rotation; complex anchoring; anchoring floating objects; man-made island;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract   Background The sea levels have risen about 10 cm since 1993 and will continue to rise due to global warming along with the expected increase in population. The rise will decrease the available landmass for settlements and raw material production. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Building with pollution

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :Zornitsa Hristova Kovacheva; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : Black carbon is an ever-growing global problem and one of the most important environmental issues of this generation. Black carbon, also known as soot, is a highly polluting substance and it is the second-largest polluter after carbon dioxide. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Measuring water current speed and direction of a Long Term Underwater Sensor (LoTUS) using tilt and roll compensation

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Författare :Marcus Lindkvist; [2020]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change brings upon melting of the Arctic ice and rising sea levels, which can be further understood by the collection of data underneath the Arctic ice caps. A Long Term Underwater Sensor (LoTUS) has therefore been proposed to be deployed under the ice caps for collection of water current speed and direction, along with temperature readings. LÄS MER
