  1. 11. Outdoor thermal comfort in Drottninghög, Helsingborg: a study on the effects of urban densification in a warmer climate

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Daniel Erlström; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Extreme heat can lead to a significant increase in mortality, especially for urban citizens. Densification of urban areas can dramatically affect the local climate of the city by replacing green areas with impermeable materials and changing both radiative and turbulent fluxes. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Street Trees Across Culture and Climate : A Comparative Analysis of Density and Distribution

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Författare :Nicholas Smart; [2020]
    Nyckelord :street trees; legacy effects; urban greening; comparative analysis; globalization; urban history;

    Sammanfattning : The positive relationship between humans and nature is manifest in the urban greening movement, which has taken root in cities around the world. Street trees are an essential component of urban design and have emerged from a variety of historic legacies, both human and environmental. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Spatial Heterogeneity of Weather impacts on Cycling Flows within Gothenburg, Sweden - A Geographic Framework for Local Pattern Analysis

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Filip Olsson; [2019-10-25]
    Nyckelord :spatial heterogeneity; cycling; weather; local climate zones; explorative GIS;

    Sammanfattning : Background: In the past decade, the phenomenon of spatial heterogeneity has started to gain traction in studies of cycling and weather. Cycling is usually the mode of transportation that is most affected by inclement weather and the scientific consensus about how weather impacts cycling behaviour on a general scale is for the most part well-established.

  5. 14. The Po Delta Biosphere Reserve: Management challenges and priorities deriving from anthropogenic pressure and sea level rise

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Damiano Vesentini; [2019]
    Nyckelord :geography; GIS; environmental pressure; water quality; nutrient accumulation; rising sea level; climate change; value for conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The Po Delta Biosphere Reserve is located in Northern Italy and has attained recognition by UNESCO in 2015 due to its unique natural and cultural value. The reserve covers an area of approximately 140 000 hectares, supporting a human population of 118 000, as well as a complex mosaic of ecosystems, which are found in this transitional waters landscape.

  7. 15. Granens invandring i sydvästra Sverige, belyst genom pollenanalys från Skottenesjön

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Författare :Maja Damber; [2019]
    Nyckelord :gran; Picea; pollenanalys; sydvästra Sverige; paleoekologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Paleoekologiska studier har visat sig vara ett bra verktyg för att studera trädetablering, samt dess relation till klimatpåverkan och mänsklig påverkan. Utbredningen av Picea i Sverige under Holocen är väldokumenterad, men kunskapsluckor kring dess spridningsdynamik kvarstår. LÄS MER
