1. 1. Climate, Irrigation, and GHGs : a Regional Analysis of EU Arable Land Values

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Filip Markovic; [2024]
   Keywords : air pollution; climate change; EU; global warming; irrigation; land value;

   Abstract : This master's thesis explores the influence of climate conditions on EU arable land values, pioneering a novel approach that blends the Ricardian Approach models within an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) framework. By employing this methodology at the regional level of NUTS2, the study offers insights into the interplay between climate and land value. READ MORE

3. 2. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Carl Holmquist; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; LPJ-GUESS; drought; sensitivity analysis; evapotranspiration; gross primary production; hydraulic parameters; boreal forest.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. READ MORE

5. 4. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Climate Finance Strategy in Southeast Asia: Enabling Conditions for Regional Climate Finance Readiness

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

6. 5. Strategies for regional deployment of hydrogen infrastructure : The case of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Roberto Di Molfetta; [2022]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Infrastructure rollout; Supply chain pathways; Mobility; Hydrogen buses.;

   Abstract : In response to the growing urge towards decarbonisation, more and more initiatives have been set to reduce and/or compensate the level of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitted by human activities, which is one of the main responsible of the incumbent threats of “global warming” and “climate change”. “Climate neutrality by 2050” has become a decisive topic for political agendas worldwide and, against that background, the hydrogen economy can play a significant role.
