1. 11. A sensory evaluation of swidden rye (Secale cereale) – how the taste of history and geographical location can play part in a sustainable food production

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Amanda Jonsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Sensory science; Landrace; Terroir; Food system; Consumer science;

   Abstract : Due to their resilience, durability, and broad genetic variations, increasing the production and consumption of landrace cereals has been highlighted as a solution to handle increasing environmental variability resulting from climate change. However, the consumption of landrace cereals remains low due to limited production and purchase availability for consumers. READ MORE

3. 12. GIS and Tourism: Developing strategies for new touristic flows after the Covid-19 pandemic

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Vincenzo Poppiti; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Tourism; Multi-criteria evaluation; Weighted overlay analysis; Italy; Touristic flows; Covid-19; Pandemic; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Business and Economics; History and Archaeology; Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : The goal of this article is to propose, through the use of GIS software, an interdisciplinary method to suggest new touristic flows after the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, the aim is to identify those sites of cultural and landscape interest that are little known but with great artistic, cultural, historical and environmental value that could give new vigour to the tourism sector.

4. 13. Mapping Carbon Storage and Potential Bioenergy Production in Södertälje Using High-resolution Biotope Database

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Lisa Åkerström; [2022]
   Keywords : Carbon storage; Carbon; Bioenergy; Bioenergy production; GIS; GIS-analysis; Scenario analysis; Biotope database; High-resolution biotope database; energy forests; CHP; heating plant; Bio-CCS; BECCS; carbon; carbon storage; carbon storage map; biotope database; Biotopdatabasen;

   Abstract : Global warming is caused by the human induced increase of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. GHG emissions need to be reduced, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil sources ceased to mitigate global warming. Energy production and use is a main contributor to fossil sourced emissions in Europe. READ MORE

5. 14. An analysis of the relationships between urban green space and public health : A combination of GIS-based analysis and regression models

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

   Author : Lingzi Liu; [2022]
   Keywords : GIS; Multiple linear regression; Public health; Urban green space; Urban planning;

   Abstract : Public health is an essential urban issue attracting the increasing attention of scholars and decision-makers while urban planning is an important mechanism to promote health since mounting evidence has shown the planning elements, such as urban green spaces (UGS), could have a positive influence. In previous literature, the studies concerning the impacts of UGSs can be divided into two aspects: the first is to reveal the relationships between UGSs and health using statistical models based on self-reported data, while the second is to take their relationships as presumption and visualize the spatial distributions of UGSs in a geographical information system (GIS) to indicate the existence of health inequalities.

6. 15. Mussels in deep water with climate change: Spatial distribution of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) growth offshore in the French Mediterranean with respect to climate change scenario RCP 8.5 Long Term and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) using Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modelling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Victoria Persson; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Mediterranean; Mytilus galloprovincialis; Dynamic Energy Budget; DEB; growth rate; France; mussel cultivation; mussel farming; offshore; aquaculture; climate change; Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture; IMTA; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Victoria Persson Abstract Mussel cultivation is a sustainable type of food production that may help mitigate the nutritional needs of a future world population of 10-12 billion in 2100. The demand for mussels on the French market is increasing but the production is saturated due to a lack of space for expanding the cultivation close to shore. READ MORE
