  1. 1. Mapping Future Canadian Arctic Coastlines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Pia Blake; [2021]
    Keywords : Isostatic Rebound; Canadian Arctic; Climate Change; RCP scenarios; Coastlines; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Canadian Arctic currently faces changing coastlines due isostatic rebound and climate change-driven sea-levels rising. This thesis seeks to answer how local coastlines will change over time under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, where errors in modelled coastlines come from, and how much of an impact isostatic rebound has on sea-levels compared to climate-change driven changes.

  3. 2. Evaluating Physical Climate Risk for Equity Funds with Quantitative Modelling : How Exposed are Sustainable Funds?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling

    Author : Sofia Wiklund; [2020]
    Keywords : climate change; ESG; sustainable finance; sustainable investment; ESG; hållbar finans; hållbar investering; klimatförändring;

    Abstract : The climate system is undergoing rapid changes because of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. The effects from a warmer climate are already noticeable today with more frequent extreme weather events. These extreme weather events have financial consequences and pose risks to the financial system.

  4. 3. Variability in modelled Arctic Sea-Ice Volume

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Hanna Axén; [2014]
    Keywords : sea ice; sea ice volume; Arctic; CMIP5; PIOMAS; climate change; Physics and Astronomy; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the Arctic sea ice volume and thickness evolution over the time period 1850-2100 is analysed. The analysed data is provided by the CMIP5 climate models, which contributed their output for the IPCC Fifth Assessment. The results were compared to the reanalysis data series PIOMAS. READ MORE

  5. 4. On the Relation Between Arctic Sea Ice and European Cold Winters During the Little Ice Age 1400-1850

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Kristian Silver; [2014]
    Keywords : Barents Sea; Kara Sea; sea ice reduction; Arctic; midlatitudes; feedback effect; Last Millennium; historical climate change; climate modeling; threshold; global warming; cold winters; Little Ice Age; North Atlantic oscillation; LIA; NAO; PMIP3; CMIP5; NASA-GISS.; Barents hav; Karahavet; reducerat istäcke; Arktis; mellanbredderna; återkopplingseffekt; historiska klimatförändringar; klimatmodellering; tröskeleffekt; global uppvärmning; kalla vintrar; Lilla istiden ; Nordatlantiska oscillationen; NAO; PMIP3; CMIP5; NASA-GISS.;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate the possible historical correlation between sea ice reduction in the Arctic and cold winters in Central Europe. The study is conducted over a cold period in Europe known as the Little Ice Age (LIA), 1400–1850, and uses a Global Climate Model with eight different forcing scenarios. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of Trends and Patterns of Droughts Using Satellite Data and Climate Model Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Lisa Damberg; [2013]
    Keywords : drought; remote sensing; climate models; CMIP5; SPI; trends; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Numerous studies indicate that the frequency of extreme events such as droughts have increased particularly in the 20th century. Droughts are considered among the most costly natural disasters due to their impacts on crop yield, infrastructure, industry, and tourism. READ MORE
