  1. 1. Climate effects of managed boreal forests : combining effects from carbon balance and albedo

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Anna Valeria Requardt; [2023]
    Keywords : Remotely Sensed Albedo; Age-Albedo pattern; C-flux Radiative Forcing; Boreal Forests Climate Effect;

    Abstract : Boreal forests are considered as a global carbon (C) sink and are utilized for climate-change mitigation. Judging the climate impact of a forest solely on its C balance might leave an incomplete picture, since forest-climate feedbacks are also caused by various other biophysical and biogeochemical processes, e.g., albedo effects.

  3. 2. Intercomparison of a Dynamic Ocean for Earth-like Aqua-planets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Fredrik Plane; [2022]
    Keywords : Astrobiology; Planets; Aqua-planets; Atmosphere and Ocean physics; Exoplanet; Habitability; General Circulation Model; GCM; Climate Modelling; Dynamic Ocean;

    Abstract : I present herein an ensemble of ROCKE-3D aqua-planet simulations which I compare with the simulations presented in the work of Yang et al. (2019) and other similar works. The focus was on contrasting differences in the greenhouse effect between the models. READ MORE

  4. 3. Mapping future floods in coastal Bangladesh - Impacts of projected changes in sea level and precipitation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Agnes Pierre; [2022]
    Keywords : flood modelling; TFM-DYN; sea level rise; land subsidence; extreme precipitation; tidal flooding; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future.

  5. 4. Analysis of the Stratospheric Aerosol Load After the 2019 Raikoke Eruption

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

    Author : Felicia Carlborg; [2021]
    Keywords : Volcanic Climate Impact; Raikoke; CALIPSO; Satellite; Stratospheric Aerosols; Radiative Forcing; Aerosol Optical Depth; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The stratospheric aerosol load after the eruption of Raikoke in 2019 have been analysed with satellite data from the CALIPSO satellite. The goal was to see how much the stratospheric aerosol load increased due to the Brewer Dobson circulation, and further, how this affected the stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD), and the corresponding radiative forcing (RF).

  6. 5. Development and Assessment of Re-Fleet Assignment Model under Environmental Considerations

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Prashant Prashant; [2020]
    Keywords : Aviation; Fleet Assignment; Greenhouse Gases; Linear Optimization; Resource Management; Applied Mathematics; Mathematical Modelling; Flygindustrin; Tillämpad Matematik; Linjär Optimering; Fleet Assignment; matematisk modellering;

    Abstract : The imminent threat of global catastrophe due to climate change gets more real by each passing year. The Aviation trade association, IATA, claims that Aviation accounts for approximately 2% of the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) caused by human activities, and 3.5% of the total Radiative Forcing. READ MORE
