  1. 1. Mesoscale precipitation systems in the Tibetan Plateau region as represented by global reanalysis, regional downscaling and satellite data between 2001 - 2016

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Benjamin Holmberg; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : Tibetan Plateau; monsoon; westerlies; mesoscale; convection; precipitation; climate modelling; global reanalysis; regional downscaling; spatial resolution; re-initialization; spectral nudging; convective parameterization;

    Abstract : The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the world’s most important water towers. Convective precipitation systems play an important role by providing freshwater for the highly densely populated downstream regions, but they can also cause hazardous floods. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of Market-Based Flexibility Services- An Evaluation of Flexible Resources’ Indirect Impact on Network Congestion.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Tobias Gunneberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Local flexibility markets; Demand-side flexibility; Congestion management; Load shifting; flexible resources; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Capacity shortages in electricity grids can impose significant costs on society due to missed investments in industry. Due to limited profit opportunities and long lead times, grid reinforcements are not a viable solution to the problem, which must therefore be prevented through efficient use of existing grid resources.

  4. 3. Evaluating Physical Climate Risk for Equity Funds with Quantitative Modelling : How Exposed are Sustainable Funds?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling

    Author : Sofia Wiklund; [2020]
    Keywords : climate change; ESG; sustainable finance; sustainable investment; ESG; hållbar finans; hållbar investering; klimatförändring;

    Abstract : The climate system is undergoing rapid changes because of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. The effects from a warmer climate are already noticeable today with more frequent extreme weather events. These extreme weather events have financial consequences and pose risks to the financial system.

  5. 4. Analysis of Burkina Faso Electricity System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Robert Karisa Masumbuko; [2019]
    Keywords : Electricity; Burkina Faso; LEAP; renewable energy; vulnerability; climate change; Elektricitet; Burkina Faso; LEAP; förnybar energi; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Burkina Faso like many other Least Developed Countries (LDC) in their quest for sustainable development has realized that for there to be meaningful economic and social progress, prioritizing resilience to impacts of climate change is critical. In its National Adaptation Plan, a decrease in average rainfall is forecasted in the order of 150 mm by 2025, in comparison to an average annual value of 798mm for the period 1991 to 2016, and an increase in average temperatures between 1° C - 2.

  6. 5. Implications of a dynamic vertical root distribution for modelled water and carbon fluxes across selected ecosystems : incorporating a novel rooting scheme into LPJ-GUESS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lasse Keetz; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; Vertical Root Distribution; Dynamic Root Distribution; Carbon and Water Fluxes; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Roots play a key role in terrestrial carbon and water cycles, and therefore for the global climate system. They mediate plant evapotranspiration, influence photosynthetic processes and are responsible for atmospheric carbon transport into the pedosphere. Fine roots, in particular, are chiefly regulating water and nutrient uptake. READ MORE
