3. 2. Future climate suitability of shade trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in West Africa and shade tree diversity’s impact on farm microclimate : A Minor Field Study

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Jonna Halonen; [2023]
   Keywords : species distribution modeling; cocoa agroforestry; shade trees; West Africa; microclimate; distributionsmodell; kakaoskogslantbruk; skuggträd; Västafrika; mikroklimat;

   Abstract : Shade trees’ implementation into cocoa agroforestry systems in tropical West Africa has proven to have a high potential in increasing farm resilience and mitigating climate change. However, no studies have yet examined the potential future climate suitability for shade trees in the region, which is important when deciding which shade trees to implement. READ MORE

4. 3. On the road to grid stability - Using batteries in heavy vehicles and charging infrastructure as frequency reserves

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Produktionsekonomi

   Author : Matilda Kjellström; Caroline Wuttke; [2023]
   Keywords : Case Study; Electrification; Frequency regulation; Energy reserve; Battery; Heavy vehicles; Vehicle-to-grid; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Background: Climate change and increasing threats that come with it fosters a need for changing from fossil sources of energy to renewable ones. Sweden aims to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year of 2045. One of the sectors that need to take part in this shift towards fossil free energy is the transport industry. READ MORE

5. 4. Exploring the Feasibility of Using Fire Dynamics Simulator to Improve the Calculation of the Wildfire Available Safe Egress Time

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Alfred El Haddad; [2023]
   Keywords : Wildfire; Trigger buffer; WUI; WASET; FDS; QGIS; Level set; WUI evacuation.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires pose a significant threat to public safety and property in areas where urban development encroaches upon natural landscapes. This thesis aims to investigate the effect of smoke from a WUI fire on the tenability conditions of a small village and to establish a worst-case-scenario trigger boundary around it as an improved basis for the WUI available safe egress time (WASET).
