1. 16. Jules Verne or Joint Venture? Investigation of a Novel Concept for Deep Geothermal Energy Extraction

   University essay from Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper; Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Henrik Wachtmeister; [2012]
   Keywords : geothermal energy; new concept; shaft; artificial fractures; investigation; heat transfer modeling;

   Abstract : Geothermal energy is an energy source with potential to supply mankind with both heat and electricity in nearly unlimited amounts. Despite this potential geothermal energy is not often considered in the general energy debate, often due to the perception that it is a margin energy source bound to a few locations with favorable geological conditions.

3. 17. A multi-proxy study of a Holocene peat sequence on Nightingale Island, South Atlantic

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Hanna Lindvall; [2011]
   Keywords : Nightingale Island; South Atlantic; Holocene; peat; C N; environmental reconstruction; interglacial bipolar see-saw; Sydatlanten; Holocen; torv; miljörekonstruktion; interglacial gungbrädeseffekt; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Nightingale Island is situated at 37°S in the central part of the South Atlantic Ocean, which is a sensitive location for variations within the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) wind belt. A peat sequence from the wetland 2nd Pond has been investigated with emphasis on the composition of the deposits, loss on ignition (LOI), total Carbon (TC), Nitrogen (N), biogenic Silica (BSi), magnetic susceptibility (MS), diatom counting and macrofossil analysis.

5. 19. Evaluation of RCA & RCA GUESS and estimation of vegetation-climate feedbacks over India for present climate

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Nitin Chaudhary; [2011]
   Keywords : India; vegetation feedbacks; geography; climate change; GCMs; Validation; physical geography; RCMs; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Popular summary Changes in climate modify the terrestrial vegetation distribution that in turn affects the climate system by altering the balance of radiation, water, momentum, CO2 and other important atmospheric gases. This entire process is termed as vegetation-climate feedbacks. These feedbacks are studied by regional earth system model. READ MORE

6. 20. Climate change impacts on crop yields and adaptive measures for agricultural sector in the lowlands of Lesotho

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Maoela Malebajoa; [2010]
   Keywords : climate change; A2 and B2 SRES; MAGICC SCENGEN; CROPWAT; Crop Yields; adaptive measures; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Summary: Climate change has emerged as the most outstanding of the environmental challenges and there is a necessity to evaluate its impacts on the vulnerable development sectors such as agriculture. In this study, spatially adjusted general circulation models and crop models were used to simulate climate change scenarios and the associated cereal crops yields for the western lowlands of Lesotho for the year 2030-2050 and 2080-2100.
