1. 1. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.

3. 2. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

4. 3. The atmospheric effects of Southern Ocean open-ocean polynyas onto the coastal polynyas from EC-Earth3

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Jakob Gunnarsson; [2023-05-10]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Polynyas are recurring areas of open water or thin ice within the sea ice pack, which alter the local oceanatmosphere heat and moisture exchange. They are differentiated as coastal (latent heat) or open-ocean (sensible heat) polynya according to their formation process. READ MORE

5. 4. Starshades: Geoengineering Solutions and Technosignatures in Direct Imaging Phase Curves

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Claudia Skoglund; [2023]
   Keywords : Starshades; extraterrestrial intelligence; stellar evolution; technosignatures; phase curves; direct imaging; habitable zone.; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The stellar luminosity increases as a star evolves which inevitably yields a higher temperature on planets in orbit around the star. It is reasonable to assume that intelligent civilizations would tackle this issue through installing artificial structures that can alter the radiation received by the planet. READ MORE

6. 5. EMC-Optimized Transparency: Reducing Electromagnetic Emissions in Surveillance Camera Domes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Fabian Sondh; Erik Hansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a crucial aspect to product development. Companies need to make sure their products live up to the standards that exists around the world. One way of reducing electromagnetic emissions is to shield the product, using some conducting material, for instance, copper. READ MORE
