  1. 16. Impact of Extreme Rainfall Event over Swedish Urban Catchments : A study on catchment characterization in the context of Aerial Reduction Factor and storm movement

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Md Didarul Alam Tusher; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The design practices of urban hydraulic structures are required to be based on enough safety measures in addition to cost efficiency for sustainable development. Overestimation of catchment runoff generated from a storm event can increase the project cost unnecessarily. READ MORE

  3. 17. Effects of microbial community coalescence in lake water at ice break-off

    University essay from

    Author : Christoffer Melhus; [2019]
    Keywords : Freshwater lakes; ice break-off; microbial community coalescence; dissolved organic matter; microbial enzymatic activity; primary production; photo degradation.;

    Abstract : The period of ice break-off in spring is a key event for many biogeochemical processes in lakes globallly. The biogeochemical processes occurring at ice break-off have the potential of influencing characteristics of lakes throughout spring and summer, including algal blooms and greenhouse gas emission.
