1. 1. Microplastics in the Gulf of Bothnia, SwedenA comparison between Österfjärden and Örefjärden.

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Emma Overgaard; [2021]
   Keywords : IR; Microplastic; pollution; polymer composition; surface water; visual characterization;

   Abstract : Microplastics are emerging pollutants in the marine environment, including a range of polymers modified by varying quantities of additives and sorbed pollutants, differing in size, colour, and shape. This study focuses on characterization and quantification through visual characterization of microplastics >300 μm in surface water and at 5-meter depth in the Gulf of Bothnia. READ MORE

3. 2. Climate change adaptation and urban development: a genealogy of flood risk management in Glasgow

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Leopold Salzenstein; Jenny Åkeson; [2021]
   Keywords : Adaptation; Climate urbanism; Clyde; Complexity; Floods; Foucault; Genealogy; Glasgow; Green gentrification; Maladaptation; Neoliberalism; Resilience; Risk; Scotland; General Works;

   Abstract : As cities increasingly implement climate change adaptation (CCA) projects, it is important to assess the potential long-term consequences of urban climate adaptation on socio-economic inequalities. As CCA is still in its infancy, observing long-term impact can be challenging. READ MORE

4. 3. Modeling the microbial fate and transport in rivers of South Africa

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Stina Perman; [2021]
   Keywords : Water quality modelling; HYPE; waterborne pathogen transport; microorganism; E. coli; Vattenkvalitetsmodellering; HYPE; vattenburna patogener; mikroorganism; E. coli;

   Abstract : In recent years, surface water used for domestic, industrial, and irrigation purposes in South Africa has deteriorated due to inadequate wastewater treatment, urban and agricultural runoff, and rural settlements with deficient sanitation. Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a basic human right, and if waterborne pathogens are present in the water environment, they compose a human health risk. READ MORE

5. 4. Sensitivity analysis of pluvial flood modelling tools for dense urban areas : A case study in Lundby-Lindholmen, Gothenburg

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Johanna Eriksson; [2020]
   Keywords : Flood Modelling; MIKE FLOOD; Sensitivity Analysis;

   Abstract : As a result of the global climate change, extreme precipitation is occurring more frequently which increases the risk of flooding, especially in urban areas. Urbanisation is widely discussed regarding urban flooding where an increase of impervious surfaces limits the infiltration and increases the surface runoff. READ MORE

6. 5. Sensitivity analysis of grate inlet representation and a comparison of two coupled hydraulic models for urban flood simulation

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

   Author : Daniel Lundqvist; [2020]
   Keywords : Urban flood models; 1D-2D coupled models; MIKE FLOOD; FLO-2D; inlet grates; manholes;

   Abstract : Urban flood models are an important tool in designing and analyzing municipalities sewer drainage systems and predicting the effect of potential extent and depth of future floods. In urban areas, coupled 1D-2D flood models are particularly useful as they can represent the surface- and sewer system and their interactions. READ MORE
