  1. 1. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

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

    Författare :David Ebert; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

  3. 2. Impact of different atmospheric forcings on surface mass balance estimates in Greenland

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

    Författare :Stina Olandersson; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; surface mass balance; Greenland; climate models; numerical weather prediction models; surface energy balance; Arctic; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Termohalin cirkulation i Nordatlanten

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

    Författare :Katarina Hahn; [2004]
    Nyckelord :North Atlantic; thermohaline circulation; oceans; climate change; physical geography; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; climatology; geomorfologi; naturgeografi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Den termohalina cirkulationen är en global havscirkulation driven av densitetsskillnader, som gör att varmt vatten transporteras mot polerna och kallt vatten mot ekvatorn. Densiteten påverkas av temperatur och salinitet (och tryck, som vanligtvis ignoreras). Därför heter cirkulationen termohalin. LÄS MER
