1. Mapping Future Canadian Arctic Coastlines
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The Canadian Arctic currently faces changing coastlines due isostatic rebound and climate change-driven sea-levels rising. This thesis seeks to answer how local coastlines will change over time under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, where errors in modelled coastlines come from, and how much of an impact isostatic rebound has on sea-levels compared to climate-change driven changes.

2. Evaluating Physical Climate Risk for Equity Funds with Quantitative Modelling : How Exposed are Sustainable Funds?
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Naturresurser och hållbar utvecklingAbstract : 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. READ MORE

3. Variability in modelled Arctic Sea-Ice Volume
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/KärnfysikAbstract : In this thesis, the Arctic sea ice volume and thickness evolution over the time period 1850-2100 is analysed. The analysed data is provided by the CMIP5 climate models, which contributed their output for the IPCC Fifth Assessment. The results were compared to the reanalysis data series PIOMAS. READ MORE

4. On the Relation Between Arctic Sea Ice and European Cold Winters During the Little Ice Age 1400-1850
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : This study aims to investigate the possible historical correlation between sea ice reduction in the Arctic and cold winters in Central Europe. The study is conducted over a cold period in Europe known as the Little Ice Age (LIA), 1400–1850, and uses a Global Climate Model with eight different forcing scenarios. READ MORE

5. Analysis of Trends and Patterns of Droughts Using Satellite Data and Climate Model Simulations
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Numerous studies indicate that the frequency of extreme events such as droughts have increased particularly in the 20th century. Droughts are considered among the most costly natural disasters due to their impacts on crop yield, infrastructure, industry, and tourism. READ MORE
