  1. 1. Impact of Carbon Sinks on Urban Heat Island Effects : Assessment Using Satellite Data in Water Scarce Region of the Thesis

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Nadine Macauley; [2020]
    Keywords : Urban Heat Island; Carbon Sinks; Qatar; Satellite Remote Sensing; Al Bayt Stadium; Energy Systems; Energy Use; Sustainability; LST; Hot Arid Climate;

    Abstract : Urbanization modifies the thermal characteristics of the land and makes way for a succession of transformations in the urban environmental system. This phenomenon, known as Urban Heat Island (UHI), is characterized by elevated temperatures in urban areas that negatively impact on the quality of life and environment in urban areas including, increased emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) and rising energy consumption.

    Keywords : inhysning; klimat; koldioxid; köttproduktion; lustgas; metan; nötkreatur; renhet; utsläpp;

    Abstract : Med ett allt mer fokus på klimatet är det viktigt att hitta nya sätt att minska ammoniakemiss-ion och utsläpp av växthusgaser till atmosfären. Biokol är en produkt som framförallt har använts som jordförbättrare på grund av dess positiva effekter på kolinlagringen i marken och potentiella skördeökningar. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating the Impact of Altered Electricity Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Carolin Bangay; [2019]
    Keywords : Linear Programming; Transmission; Energy Systems; Green House Gas; Emissions; Electricity Systems; Modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the light of the importance of climate change and the emissions that have induced it, the ability to calculate the effect on emissions by changing transmission capacity is vital. A model to perform such indicative calculations is developed in this thesis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Nudge the lunch : a field experiment testing primacy effects using a menu intervention approach in a university cafeteria

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Lif Nelander; [2019]
    Keywords : behavioral economics; nudging; sustainable food consumption; field experiment; menu intervention;

    Abstract : The world is facing a global climate crisis and a collective step towards a more sustainable lifestyle is of importance. Food consumption accounts for a large part of an individuals’ total emissions and as the production of meat generally emits less green-house-gases than that of plant-based alternatives, changing towards a more plant-based diet can be one step to a more sustainable lifestyle.
