1. 11. Brain morphology and behavioural variation in relation to habitat and predation risk in minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Marina Gallego González; [2022]
   Keywords : brain size; Ecology; environmental complexity; European minnow; fish; geometric morphometrics; morphological divergence; phenotypic plasticity; schooling.;

   Abstract : So far, research on inter- and intraspecific teleost brain plasticity across different freshwater environments has been widely conducted. However, insights of brain morphological variation on social and predator avoidance behaviours are lacking. READ MORE

3. 12. Characterization and modeling of hydrology and climatology in paramo ecosystems in Colombia : A study of the paramos and climate change impact on these ecosystems as a water resource

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Lovisa Nilsson; Julia Tholander; [2022]
   Keywords : paramo; hydrology; climate change; precipitation; discharge; modeling; characterization; HBV; ENSO; paramo; hydrologi; klimatförändringar; nederbörd; avrinning; modellering; karaktärisering; HBV; ENSO;

   Abstract : Paramos are unique ecosystems situated in the tropical Andes at an elevation of 2800-4800 meters above sea level. They are home to a variety of endemic species and have a great water regulating capacity and supply around 80 % of the population in Colombia with freshwater. READ MORE

4. 13. SAVINGS OF MATERIAL RESOURCES AND CARBON EMISSIONS WHEN CONVERTING FOSSIL FUEL CAR TO ELECTRIC : A CASE STUDY FOR SWEDEN

   University essay from KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL; KTH/Elkraftteknik

   Author : Daniel Hiller; [2022]
   Keywords : LCA; carbon emissions; material resources; fossil fuel vehicles; battery electric vehicles; carculator; Sweden; LCA; Kohlenstoffemissionen; Materialressourcen; Fahrzeuge mit fossilen Brennstoffen; batterieelektrische Fahrzeuge; carculator; Schweden;

   Abstract : Transportation in Sweden currently accounts for one-third of domestic GHG emissions. Thereof more than 90 % are allocated to road traffic with passenger cars being the largest contributor. Hence, the Swedish government adopted stringent climate policies to cut transport emissionsby 70 % (compared to 2010) latest until 2030. READ MORE

5. 14. The environment of conflict. A quantitative analysis of the link between water scarcity, non-state conflict and the quality of government in Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Monica Berenji; [2021-02-12]
   Keywords : Freshwater resources; water scarcity; non-state conflict; impartiality; corruption;

   Abstract : Environmental security has been diligently examined in previous research on both subnational and multinational levels and have not found consensus on the contributing factors for why and how environmental conflict occurs. This thesis aims to contribute to this strand of research, more specifically asking if water scarcities effect the number of non- state conflicts in Africa, depending on the quality of governments.

6. 15. Design and Optimisation of an Aquifer Storage and Recovery System - Options for long term storage under natural hydraulic gradients

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

   Author : Simon Kreipl; [2021]
   Keywords : Aquifer storage and recovery; well-field design; groundwater modelling; numerical modelling; FEFLOW; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a concept where water is stored in an aquifer during times when it is available, thus creating artificial groundwater, which can later be recovered by pumping when it is needed (Pyne, 1995). One ASR cycle consists of a injection, a standby and a recovery phase. READ MORE
