2. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

3. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

4. Learning in physics with simulation : Students’ needs & perceptions of the interaction with Algodoo, and learning in physics
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : Initiatives to implement computational thinking and science, technology, engineering & modelling into learning processes have been taken by many authorities worldwide, and in Sweden as well. The Swedish government made changes in the high school curriculum in order to develop student’s digital competence including programming which has been in force since June 2018 (Skolverket, 2018).

5. Modelling the effects of substituting pollinators in decline
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTHAbstract : While pollination is essential for many plant species and ecosystem functions, pollinator populations worldwide are declining. This decline is largely due to abiotic changes in the environment: climate change and other anthropogenic impacts, such as pesticides and land use change. READ MORE
