  1. 16. Fluctuating pH simulating natural variability modulates larval growth for Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Bryn Anderson; [2022-08-05]
    Keywords : ocean acidification; global change; sea urchin; duration; intensity; biological response;

    Abstract : Ocean acidification (OA) is the downward trend of ocean pH mainly resulting from the absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from anthropogenic sources. pH of the open ocean is expected to drop to 7.7 by the end of the century. READ MORE

  3. 17. Design of high performance buildings : Vulnerability of buildings to climate change from an energy perspective

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Robin Gobert; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate Change; High Performance Buildings; Dynamic Thermal Simulations; Thermal Regulation; Environmental Regulation; Cooling Needs; Heating Needs; Representative Data; Big Data; Clustering;

    Abstract : The challenge of climate change is twofold: to mitigate (prevent) the causes of climate change and to prepare (adapt) to the inevitable effects and consequences. Building and construction are key sectors for decarbonisation (mitigation). READ MORE

  4. 18. CO2-emissions from domestic goods transport in countries with high income and high equality : A study of changes in BNP/capita, trade intensity and GINI-index relating to CO2-emissions

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för samhällsvetenskaper

    Author : Martin Planfeldt; [2022]
    Keywords : Environmental Kuznets Curve EKC ; Trade; Goods transport; GINI-index; GDP;

    Abstract : Transportation is one of the largest sectors contributing to CO2-emissions, and has doubled its emissions in 30 years. Despite this, studies of the environmental Kuznets curve (”EKC”) often focus on stationary industry emissions. READ MORE

  5. 19. Combining GHG Emissions and Soil Carbon Changes as a Single Metric to Evaluate Agricultural Policy Promoting Biomass for Biofuels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Malin Lane; [2022]
    Keywords : Gräsvallar; klimatpåverkan; kolinlagring; jordbruk; biomassa; biobränslen.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. READ MORE

  6. 20. Carbon Premium & Policy Uncertainty: An Analysis of Correlation Between Carbon Exposure and Stock Returns, and the Impact of Presidential Elections on Carbon Risk.

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Sander Hugosson; Jacob Lundquist; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon premium; Stock returns; Sustainable finance; Presidential elections; Carbon emissions;

    Abstract : Earth's climate is changing, but the timing and extent of policy responses remain uncertain. This paper aims to test the correlation between firms' carbon emissions and stock returns. The analysis is two-leveled; a general test throughout the period 2012 to 2022, and two separate tests surrounding the last two American presidential elections. READ MORE
