  1. 1. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

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

    Author : Andreas Brandow; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

    Abstract : Due to the global warming and climate change, an increased frequency of high intensity rains and other disasters are expected all around the world. To predict this change in climate the IPCC has created a set of climate scenarios, RCPs, that will try to predict the future climate based on how much we are able to adapt and mitigate the effects we as a species have on the environment.

  3. 2. CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NORWAY SPRUCE TREELINE IN THE CENTRAL SCANDINAVIAN MOUNTAINS Treeline evolution, tree growth and a Blue Intensity summer temperature reconstruction

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fredrik Karlsson; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : Treeline evolution; Tree growth; Norway spruce; central Scandinavian mountains; Blue Intensity;

    Abstract : In the context of global change, mountain regions have received increased interest in recent times with researchers trying to answer how such regions may be affected by a changing climate. Treeline environments are sensitive to the impacts of climate change which may significantly alter the characteristics of the regions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using Evidence Based Design to create Storm Water Management Solutions Supporting Human Well-being : a case study approach

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Elin Lewin; Hampus Härstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Evidence-based Design; Open Stormwater Management; Human Well-being; residential areas; Blue-green Infrastructure;

    Abstract : Climate change is expected to increase the intensity and frequency of precipitation around Europe which increases the risk of severe flooding in urban situations. As cities densify, the amount of infiltrateable surfaces in the cities reduces which also increases the risk of flooding. READ MORE

  5. 4. Application of data-driven models in exploring cyanobacterial bloom risks in Lake Mälaren

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik
