  1. 16. 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. 17. Modelling of aquifer on Ingarö island : A Steady-State model

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Magnus Dahlberg; [2020]
    Keywords : GMS; MODFLOW; GIS; RCP; climate change; archipelago; esker; glaciofluvial soil;

    Abstract : Värmdö municipality, in the archipelago of Stockholm, has one of Sweden’s fastest growing populations and is a popular location for tourism and summer houses.

    Author : Hannah Berk; [2020]
    Keywords : Coastal floods; combined compound flood events; fluvial floods; LISFLOOD-FP; hydraulic modelling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

  5. 19. Increasing crop yields under climate change scenarios in Nigeria

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Imogen O'Keefe; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Agriculture; Climate Change; Crop Yields and Management Strategies; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is projected to cause unprecedented levels of global change and it will alter the ways in which humans currently rely on getting essential resources such as food. Africa is considered to be the most vulnerable continent to this change, with many countries that have low economic stability and insecure food sources a change to the way resources can be accessed could be detrimental to the population.

    Author : Johanna Cavell; [2019]
    Keywords : mjältbrand; sporer; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Mjältbrand är en dödlig sjukdom som varit känd under en lång tid och som drabbar både djur och människor. En av anledningarna till att mjältbrand är fruktad är bakteriens förmåga att sporulera vid icke gynnsamma förhållanden och persistera i jorden under en lång tid. READ MORE
