  1. 1. Methodology for Designing Bespoke Air Handling Units

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Alexandra Malysheva; [2023]
    Keywords : bespoke air handling unit; evaporative cooling system; two-stage crossflow heat exchanger; 3D-modeling; platsbyggt luftbehandlingsaggregat; evaporativt kylsystem; tvåstegs motströmsvärmeväxlare; 3D-modeling;

    Abstract : This master's thesis explores the role of bespoke air handling units in enhancing energy efficiency in existing buildings. The context for the study is set against the backdrop of global initiatives, including the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 7, which emphasizes the need to improve energy efficiency to combat climate change.

  3. 2. Loess as an Environmental Proxy for Reconstruction of Palaeoclimate in the High Arctic

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Rognås; [2023]
    Keywords : aeolian transport; loess; grain size analysis; loss on ignition; palaeoclimate; Svalbard; Holocene; vindtransporterat material; lössjord; kornstorlek; loss on ignition; paleoklimat; Svalbard; Holocen;

    Abstract : We are currently speeding towards significant changes in the climate of the earth which, if ignored, will lead to severely altered climatic conditions with serious consequences for several species and ecosystems. The polar regions especially are very sensitive to climate changes, and the changes these regions undergo affect the climate on a global scale. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reconstructing Past Climate by Using XRF and Loss of Ignition on Loess from Adventdalen, Svalbard : Rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat genom attanvända XRF analys och antändningsförlust på lössavlagringar från Adventdalen, Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Albin Andreasson; Noa Lind; [2023]
    Keywords : Svalbard; loess soil; XRF; weathering; climate change;

    Abstract : By analyzing the texture, composition and chemical composition of loess soils, the reconstruction ofpast climate regimes is enabled, which can improve our understanding of current and future climatechange. Properties such as grain size and composition, mineralogy, organic matter and chemicalcomposition can provide information about which environmental factors were present during thedeposition of the sediment, which can lead to a detailed picture of the climate history of a site.

  5. 4. Financing green energy projects : Funding possibilities, challange for change, and the integration of the private sector

    University essay from Jönköping University

    Author : Rickard Djerf; Solveig Edblad; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy source; Wind turbine; Economic association; Permit process; Renewable support scheme; Subvention; Green finance; Green energy; Energikälla; Vindkraftverk; Ekonomisk förening; Tillståndsprocess; Förnybara stödsystem; Subventioner; Grön finansiering; Grön energi;

    Abstract : The world’s energy structure today relies 80 % on fossil fuels, contributing to rising temperatures and a changing climate. Society is built upon heavy energy usage and consumption is forecasted to increase rather than decrease. READ MORE

  6. 5. CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NORWAY SPRUCE TREELINE IN THE CENTRAL SCANDINAVIAN MOUNTAINS Treeline evolution, tree growth and a Blue Intensity summer temperature reconstruction

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fredrik Karlsson; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : Treeline evolution; Tree growth; Norway spruce; central Scandinavian mountains; Blue Intensity;

    Abstract : In the context of global change, mountain regions have received increased interest in recent times with researchers trying to answer how such regions may be affected by a changing climate. Treeline environments are sensitive to the impacts of climate change which may significantly alter the characteristics of the regions. READ MORE
