  1. 1. Comparison of temperature variability and trends in Svalbard and Franz Joseph Land

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

    Author : Johanna Renberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Arctic warming; Arctic Amplification; Franz Joseph Land climate; Svalbard climate; linear regression;

    Abstract : Arctic warming is assumed to be four times the global warming. A published study by Ivanov et al. (2019) shows that the annual average temperature of Franz Joseph Land (the world’s northernmost island region, a Russian territory) has increased by 5.2 °C from 2000-2017. READ MORE

  3. 2. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Moon Taveirne; [2022]
    Keywords : Temperature lapse rate; glacier meteorology; near-­surface lapse rate; ablation gradient;

    Abstract : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. READ MORE

  4. 3. Plant phenology and climate change : possible effect on the onset of various wild plant species first flowering day in the UK

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nigel Fox; [2019]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; plants; phenology; climate change; global warming; FFD; IPCC; Bluebell; Garlic mustard; Coltsfoot; Cuckooflower; United Kingdom; Woodland Trust; UK; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The IPCC states that the planet is significantly warming due to effects of climate change. This warming effect has consequences for phenological events. Many species cannot track rapid climate change, resulting in phenological mismatches. This study looks at an extreme weather event and the longer-term effects of climate change. READ MORE

  5. 4. WRF-data analysis at Svalbard 1989-2010

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jon Jörpeland; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A polaroptimized mesoscale climate model, Polar Weather Research and Forcasting model (WRF), has been used over the Svalbard archipelago for analysing last trends in climate. The climate model has been downscaled by the reanalysis model ERA-Interim to 8 km spatial resolution for the period 1989-2010. READ MORE

  6. 5. Constraining Crustal Volatile Release in Magmatic Conduits by Synchrotron X-ray μ-CT

    University essay from Berggrundsgeologi

    Author : Sylvia Berg; [2011]
    Keywords : xenoliths; crustal gases; synchrotron X-ray μ-CT; 3D-bubble networks; gas migration; magmatic volatile budget; explosive eruption;

    Abstract : Magma-crust interaction in magma reservoirs and conduits is a crucial process during magma evolution and ascent. This interaction is recorded by crustal xenoliths that frequently show partial melting, inflation and disintegration textures. READ MORE
