1. 6. Modeling groundwater flow using COMSOL to understand the water cycle dynamics and climate change impacts for future groundwater availability in the Matlab region, Southeastern Bangladesh

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Oscar Vandromme; [2021]
   Keywords : Aquifer-Arsenic contamination-Climate change-Groundwater elevation-Model-Sustainability;

   Abstract : Arsenic contamination has been a growing concern for many countries, especially Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, one of the most arsenic-contaminated regions is Chandpur. In this study, groundwater data were analyzed in order to create models to improve knowledge on groundwater flow dynamic in a specific area of Chandpur called Matlab. READ MORE

3. 7. Beelining for sustainable transport : analysing accessibility inequities and opportunities connecting trams to bicycles in Greater Manchester

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Megan Richold; [2020]
   Keywords : Sustainability Science; climate change mitigation; GIS; feminist methodology; environmental justice; urban transport; intersectionality; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : As the clock ticks on our opportunity to limit catastrophic climate change, mitigation efforts are becoming increasingly essential, especially amongst countries with high current or historic emissions. However, these mitigation attempts are not a guaranteed success, especially when the system within which they operate is not understood due to unacknowledged bias in quantitative data. READ MORE

4. 8. Assessing evolution of ice caps in Suðurland, Iceland, in years 1986 - 2014, using multispectral satellite imagery

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Alicja Miodonska; [2019]
   Keywords : remote sensing; multispectral satellite imagery; Landsat; Iceland; glaciers; ice caps; Geography; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The study focuses on the application of multispectral satellite imageries in glaciological studies. It aims to assess how the Icelandic glaciers have evolved over the last decades (from the 1980s to 2014).

6. 10. Catalytic hydrotreating of lignin

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Markus Lilja; [2019]
   Keywords : Lignin; hydrotreating; kemiteknik; chemical engineering; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. READ MORE
