1. 6. The cooling potential of Rain Gardens and Green Roofs - The influence on energy partitioning in Kvillebäcken, Gothenburg

   Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Julia Cederbrant; [2021-07-05]
   Nyckelord :urban energy balance; urban water balance; SUEWS; energy partitioning; Blue-green infrastructure;

   Sammanfattning : Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) has become a popular way of combating the effects of climate change, both regarding heat mitigation and runoff from precipitation. This thesis aims to understand the potential of two BGI types, namely rain gardens and green roofs, of increasing the latent heat fraction in an urban area and thereby also understand the possible cooling effect from these measures.

3. 7. Temperaturreglerande ekosystemtjänster i parker : En jämförande fallstudie av Malmö och Stuttgart

   Kandidat-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

   Författare :Annika Pettersson; Frida Paulsson; [2021]
   Nyckelord :temperaturreglerande ekosystemtjänster; parker; hållbar utveckling; urbanisering; UHI; jämförande fallstudie;

   Sammanfattning : Urbanization could have a negative impact on sustianble urban development due to the effect on human and ecosystem health. A possible strategy that can decrease temperature and create sustainable societies is through construction of parks in urban areas. LÄS MER

4. 8. The future of urban trees – assessing the potential impact of climate change on urban tree populations in two European cities

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

   Författare :Pia Elverich; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Physical geography; ecosystem analysis; climate adaptation; urban trees; green infrastructure; urban heat island effect; ecosystem services; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Due to climate change, cities are increasingly facing the situation of being exposed to more frequent and prolonged extreme weather events in the future, such as heat and droughts, which are exacerbated by urban heat island (UHI) effects. The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) in the form of trees is seen as a possible adaptation measure to regulate the microclimate. LÄS MER

5. 9. Cooling Oasis

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, KTH/Arkitektur

   Författare :Lejla Rizvani; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Dubai; UHI; UAE; heat; shade; cooling; factor; sun; desert; climate; temperature; vegetation;

   Sammanfattning : The urban heat island, UHI, is a phenomenon that occurs in all cities. This phenomenon is an effect of us humans and the environments we have built. What happens in cities are that they re-emit the suns heat and other energies trapping them in this heat island. LÄS MER

7. 10. Impact of Carbon Sinks on Urban Heat Island Effects : Assessment Using Satellite Data in Water Scarce Region of the Thesis

   Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

   Författare :Nadine Macauley; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Urban Heat Island; Carbon Sinks; Qatar; Satellite Remote Sensing; Al Bayt Stadium; Energy Systems; Energy Use; Sustainability; LST; Hot Arid Climate;

   Sammanfattning : Urbanization modifies the thermal characteristics of the land and makes way for a succession of transformations in the urban environmental system. This phenomenon, known as Urban Heat Island (UHI), is characterized by elevated temperatures in urban areas that negatively impact on the quality of life and environment in urban areas including, increased emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) and rising energy consumption.
