  1. 16. Artilleriparken : upprustning av en park i Visby innerstad

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Klara Samuelsson; [2018]
    Nyckelord :gestaltning; Hansestaden Visby; omgestaltning; parkupprustning; växtgestaltning;

    Sammanfattning : Artilleriparken är en liten park på ungefär 2000 kvadratmeter belägen i Hansestaden Visby. År 1995 upptogs hela Visby innerstad inklusive grönområden och parker på UNESCOS världsarvslista. Sverige åtog sig då ansvaret för att skydda, bevara och levandegöra det utnämnda världsarvet.

  3. 17. Remote sensing-based monitoring of snow cover dynamics and its influence on vegetation growth in the Middle Atlas Mountains

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

    Författare :Nezha Acil; [2016]
    Nyckelord :grasslands; shrublands; forests; Morocco; mountains; monitoring; remote sensing; MODIS; snow; vegetation; Physical Geography; Ecosystem analysis; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Endowed with diverse vegetation covers, the Middle Atlas Mountains receive substantial snowfall in winter, which contributes to plant hydration during the growing season. Using remotely-sensed imagery, this study aims to assess the trends in snow cover variations between 2000 and 2015, analyse the local influence of snowpack persistence on vegetation growth and evaluate the significance of this effect by comparing snow-fed and non-snow-fed sites.

  4. 18. Influence of soil moisture content and infiltration on ground temperature and active layer depth in a river terrace in Adventdalen, Svalbard

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Carina Schuh; [2015]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The active layer constitutes an important subsystem of permafrost environments. Thermal andhydrological processes in the active layer determine local phenomena such as erosion, hydrologicaland ecosystem changes, and can have implications for the global carbon-climate feedback.

  5. 19. Switching to the “Golden Age of Natural Gas” with a focus on shale gas exploitation : a possible bridge to mitigate climate change?

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

    Författare :Hossein Maazallahi; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; GEM; shale gas exploitation; fugitive methane; climate change; carbon dioxide; age of natural gas; fossil fuel combustion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Environmental Controls on Snow Cover Thickness and Water Equivalent in Two Sub-Arctic Mountain Catchments

    Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Christopher Cosgrove; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Snow; hydrology; sub-Arctic; mountains; climate; landscape;

    Sammanfattning : The spatial variability of snow cover characteristics (depth, density, and snow water equivalent [SWE]) has paramount importance for the management of water resources in mountain environments. Passive microwave (PM) inference of SWE from space-borne instrumentation is increasingly used but the reliability of this technique remains limited in mountainous areas. LÄS MER
