1. 6. ENSO teleconnections - Analysis of time lag between tropical Pacific sea surface temperature and climate and vegetation anomalies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Jiri Navrátil; [2020]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; ENSO; teleconnections; climate; NDVI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects weather and climate in regions spread all around the Earth via teleconnections. While quite a lot of research has been done on recognizing what regions are affected by these and what is the sign of the associated temperature, rainfall and vegetation anomalies, not that much attention has been paid to the timing of the impacts with respect to the ENSO state.

3. 7. Resisting El Niño : an investigation into coping strategies to flood-related disasters in the Rímac river basin, Peru

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management

   Author : Conrad Jarman; [2020]
   Keywords : Flood-related disasters; Disaster risk management; Disaster risk reduction; Coping strategies; Coping capacity; El Niño Costero; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Flood-related disasters pose one of the greatest contemporary challenges to development. Analysing and developing effective local coping strategies to flood-related disasters is crucial if at-risk communities are to successfully mitigate the impact of natural hazards whilst not compromising long-term development objectives.

5. 9. Above- and belowground carbon stocks and effects of enrichment planting in a tropical secondary lowland dipterocarp rainforest

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Joel Jensen; [2019]
   Keywords : Restoration; tree diversity; biodiversity; soil edaphic factors; functional species groups; liberation; forest degradation;

   Abstract : The intact tropical rainforests are rapidly being degraded and subsequently converted to other land uses, with associated greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. It is imperative that the effects of such conversions and large-scale restoration efforts on forest structure and ecosystem services are understood to effectively be able to counteract the negative consequences of deforestation and forest degradation.

6. 10. Evaluation of Seasonal Inflow Forecasting to Support Multipurpose Reservoir Management: A case study for the Upper Maule River Basin, Chile

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Johan Visser; [2017]
   Keywords : Seasonal Forecasting; Reservoir Management; Ensemble Streamflow Prediction; Downscaling; Maule; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Seasonal hydrological forecasts of future streamflow volumes can provide water resources managers with valuable information to improve long-term water resources planning and water use efficiency. The latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models provides an opportunity for the prediction of hydroclimatic variables (e.g. READ MORE
