1. Långsiktig torvnedbrytning för olika vegetationstyper på dikad skogsmark
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/School for Forest ManagementSammanfattning : Skogsklädda torvmarker i Sverige dikades i stor utsträckning mellan 1930- och 1980-talen i syfte att höja virkesproduktionen. Till följd av klimatproblemet har intresset för dikade torvmarkers bidrag till växthusgasutsläppen ökat under de senaste decennierna. LÄS MER
2. Ecosystem Employment in Jakarta, Indonesia - Ecological Applications in Urban Design
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljöSammanfattning : Nature has a special knack for survival. After millennia of beating the odds against an inhospitable planet, many species have found clever ways to ensure self-preservation on an often inhospitable planet. By refining special skills and working alongside other members of the ecosystem, countless species have found a stable role in the landscape. LÄS MER
3. Learning From Practice : Exploring the Relationship Between Land Subsidence, Climate Change and Flood Risk in Swedish Municipal Level Strategic Planning
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Tema teknik och social förändringSammanfattning : Land subsidence is in international academic literature recognised as a significant problem for urban environments. The phenomenon can cause severe damage to infrastructure and buildings resulting in expensive repairs or permanent damage to the ground’s conditions and services. LÄS MER
4. Mapping future floods in coastal Bangladesh - Impacts of projected changes in sea level and precipitation
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future. LÄS MER
5. Estimating active layer thickness at the high Arctic study site Zackenberg from remotely sensed ground subsidence
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The active layer thickness (ALT) is an indicator of permafrost thaw, which potentially leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases under global warming, and thus could further amplify climate change. The thaw depth of the active layer also governs seasonal surface deformation, caused by the volume change between ice to water, which poses risks for slope stability and infrastructure foundations.
