   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Tessa Mazar; [2018]
   Keywords : green infrastructure; Dublin; non-point source pollution; urban run-off; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Coastal ecosystems are some of the most productive, and most at risk, in the world. These ecosystems are at risk due to the high levels of pollution entering the system. Most of this pollution comes from either run off or atmospheric deposition. READ MORE

3. 27. A resilient design approach to climate adaptation of coastal landscape : exploring design principles in facing flood risk and rising sea levels

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Julia Johansson; Elli Sandström; [2018]
   Keywords : resilience; landscape architecture; resilient design; global warming; climate change; climate adaptation; sea level rise; flooding; coastal protection;

   Abstract : In the footsteps of human society global warming have caused the world’s oceans to expand due to increased average temperature and further created sea level rise and flooding. Today the most frequent natural disasters are water related which comes with great challenges in designing and planning for coastal protection. READ MORE

4. 28. THE INTEGRATION PROCESS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION FOR FLOOD MANAGEMENT IN SPATIAL PLANNING : DRAWING EXAMPLES FROM ÄLVSTADEN-GOTHENBURGBETWEEN 1999-2015

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Kulturgeografi

   Author : Helen Agdahl; [2017]
   Keywords : climate change; rising sea levels; adaptation for flood management; urban land use planning theory for the integration of natural hazard climate change adaptation; Älvstaden- Gothenburg;

   Abstract : Due to climate change and natural variations in the hydrological cycle, global mean sea levels are increasing, causing the mean sea levels in different regions of the world to increase. In Sweden, coastal cities are facing rising water levels which is increasing flooding. READ MORE

5. 29. Climate change adaptation strategies for urban stormwater management : a comparative study of municipalities in Scania

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Kevin Persson; [2017]
   Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Coastal protection is vital for protecting infrastructure, coastal environments and human lives against flooding. Building ecient coastal protection requires a good understanding of maximum sea levels which might occur indifferent time periods in the future. Extreme value theory provides a mathematical framework for such analyses. READ MORE
