  1. 21. Carbonaceous aerosols and trace metal deposition in high-latitude snow : a comparative study in Sweden and Alaska

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Anika Pinzner; [2019]
    Keywords : PM; carbon particles; pXRF; arctic; subarctic; EC OC; LAHM; PSAP; TOT; ICP-MS; filter; contamination; albedo;

    Abstract : This study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of several destructive and non-destructive analytical methods that can be employed to characterize airborne par-ticulate matter (PM) deposited in seasonal snow. To this end, a comparative study was conducted on PM obtained from snowpack surveys in two Arctic/subarctic regions of Northern Sweden and Interior Alaska, USA. READ MORE

  3. 22. Climate Change and Precipitation Variability Influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet

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

    Author : Jennie Olsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Physics; Ice Sheet; Surface Mass Balance; SMB; Representative Concentration Pathways; RCP; Climate Change; Greenland; Precipitation; Precipitation Variability; Glaciers; Glacier; Meteorology; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gas; Future Climate; Climate; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. READ MORE

  4. 23. Effects of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana (African cherry) in the Eastern Arc Mountain Forests of Tanzania

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Richard Giliba; [2018]
    Keywords : cchange; species distribution; range shift; suitable habitats; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to model the impacts of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Maximum Entropy modelling was used to construct species distribution maps for P. READ MORE

  5. 24. Future yield performance of ZS265 and ZS263 maize varieties and information dissemination for adaptation to climate change : a case of the Zimbabwean maize cropping system

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and Society

    Author : Vimbai Ruvengo; [2017]
    Keywords : APSIM; extension worker; drought tolerant; socio-ecological; AGRITEX; resilience;

    Abstract : In an effort to design a sustainable maize cropping system in Zimbabwe, attain food security and build resilience against climate change, achievements in crop breeding are evident by the introduction of Drought Tolerant (DT) maize varieties. The study aims to analyze the impact of climate change on DT maize varieties that are characterized to be drought tolerant and yield productive under future climate conditions. READ MORE

  6. 25. Kenya meeting the electricity demand of 2030 : An assessment of how Kenya Vision 2030 and climate change impact the optimal electricity generation mix

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Anna Berggren; Sara Österberg; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Kenya’s electricity sector faces extensive development as the country strives to achieve the goal of universal access to electricity by 2020 and the national blueprint Kenya Vision 2030. With a history of overestimating the future electricity demand, it is important to make investment decisions based on realistic demand prognoses. READ MORE
