1. 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 naturgeografiAbstract : 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

2. 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 ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : 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

3. Modelling the Resilience of Offshore Renewable Energy System Using Non-constant Failure Rates
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : Offshore renewable energy systems, such as Wave Energy Converters or an Offshore Wind Turbine, must be designed to withstand extremes of the weather environment. For this, it is crucial both to have a good understanding of the wave and wind climate at the intended offshore site, and of the system reaction and possible failures to different weather scenarios.

4. Troubling Waters Ahead – an Evaluation of Coastal Flooding in Stockholm
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The increasing rate of global sea mean level rise, one of many effects of climate change, will most likelyproduce heightened risk of coastal flooding. Cities located along coastlines have to adapt to thesecircumstances that otherwise will increase the magnitude and frequency of coastal flooding. READ MORE

5. Coastal erosion in the region of Thu Bon River mouth, Vietnam
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Coastal erosion has increased worldwide during the last decades, mostly due to human activities. Vietnam is not spared, where many places within the country suffer from beach erosion. This report focuses on the region around Thu Bon river mouth in the central part of Vietnam. READ MORE
