1. A cross-correlation analysis of a warm super-Neptune using transit spectroscopy
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : A study was made in order to deduce whether certain chemical species, namely water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), are present in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107 b, which lies about 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The project was carried out at Uppsala University at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. READ MORE

3. Investigation of a Novel Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion Platform and Intake
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) provides many benefits for space missions, including better image resolution for Earth observation, better telecommunication link with ground stations, lower launch cost, lower risk of collisions, and fast end-of-life disposal. The last point in benefit is also the main challenge for placing satellites in VLEO. READ MORE

4. Co-occurring Cold Extremes in North America and Unusually Warm Weather in Europe
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : In this project, we identified and examined the 50 coldest extreme temperature eventsin North America (CENA) and the 50 warmest extreme temperature events insouthwestern Europe (WEEU) during the winter seasons from 1948 to 2023. For theanalysis, we utilized daily NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data for temperature, sea levelpressure (SLP), and 500hPa geopotential height (Z500). READ MORE

5. The intraspecific drought tolerance of Betula pendula Roth. : ecotypic aptitude as tree selection criteria for the urban landscape
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)Abstract : The ecosystem services provided by urban trees are substantial contributors to the quality of urban living, and their environmentally regulating capabilities are increasingly regarded as integral in order to efficiently secure urban resilience, by ameliorating the human and material impacts of extreme weather events. However, current trends of urban development presents challenges of how to preserve urban greenery ecosystem functioning, particularly in light of the ongoing climate change; which also has brought forth the importance of taxonomically diverse urban forests, to mitigate risks of catastrophic tree loss associated with these conditions.
