1. 1. Longshore Sediment Transport Along the Coast of Ystad Municipality

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Isa Berin; Johanna Jacobson Löwdin; [2022]
   Keywords : Coastal erosion; sediment dynamics; longshore sediment transport; CERC; shoreline change; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The coast of Ystad municipality has historically been subject to erosion, leading to the loss of recreational areas and near-beach structures, consequently resulting in the implementation of mitigating measures. With the ongoing climate change, erosion is expected to continue. READ MORE

3. 2. Coastal Response to Sea Level Rise in Ystad Municipality

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Elin Olsson; Sara Engström; [2021]
   Keywords : coastal erosion; Bruun Rule; sea level rise; coastal management; beach morphology; coastal processes; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. READ MORE

4. 3. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

5. 4. Holocene lake-level changes in the Siljan Lake District – Towards validation of von Post’s drainage scenario

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Savvas Paradeisis-Stathis; [2020]
   Keywords : Lake Siljan; Dalarna; basin isolation; catastrophic drainage; early Holocene; lake sediments; XRF scanning; C N ratio; magnetic susceptibility; pollen; Ancylus Lake; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. READ MORE

6. 5. Aerotropolis: At what cost, to whom? An analysis of social and environmental impacts of New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA) project, Indonesia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Ellen Putri Edita; [2019]
   Keywords : aerotropolis; infrastructure development; economic growth; socio-environmental impacts; Sustainability Science; Indonesia; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Following the idea of aerotropolis, New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA) was initiated under Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development to strongly promote the role of Yogyakarta as part of the economic and tourism centers in Indonesia. However, the establishment of this national strategic project is not without controversy. READ MORE
