  1. 11. GIS, tracer test and water balance based hydrological analysis in Tarfala, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Elias Koivisto; [2022]
    Keywords : Tarfala; DEM; Tracer test; Water balance; the Arctic; Climate change; Permafrost; Glacier;

    Abstract : Current climate change poses a threat to the Arctic due to increasing temperatures, which cause the permafrost and glaciers to melt and thaw. This thesis focused on analyzing water balances in Tarfala catchment between 2000 and 2020 and using GIS as a support for tracer test results measured in Tarfala in 2021. READ MORE

  3. 12. Three-step approach for visualizing climate adaptation strategies at municipal level in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Matilda Lundström; [2022]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; climate change; climate adaptation; sea level rise; climate communication; visualization; GIS; SCALGO; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The ongoing climate change has caused an increase in the global mean sea level, and this sea level rise is predicted to continue during the 21st century. The importance of including climate change in decision making is becoming more and more recognized and increasingly important for decisions yielding consequences on longer time scales. READ MORE

  4. 13. Will the electrical grid sustain the change towards an electrified freight truck fleet?

    Author : Lisa Salvin; Kristin Bobeck; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The transport sector is facing major challenges to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. The electrification of the freight fleet, which is an important step towards emission reduction, will result in capacity challenges in the grid. READ MORE

  5. 14. Exploring Urban Rainwater Harvesting in the city of Madrid applying GIS based MCDA expert tools

    University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Author : Silvia Börjesson Ballesteros; [2022]
    Keywords : Rainwater Harvesting Systems; Pond Harvesting Systems; Nature-based facilities; Climate Change Adaptation; MCDA; ArcGIS; Madrid; Spain; Sustainable water management solutions; Regnvattenuppsamlingssystem; naturbaserade anläggningar; klimatanpassning; urban resiliens; MCDA; ArcGIS; Madrid; Spanien; lösningar för hållbar vattenhantering;

    Abstract : Due to climate change, water resources’ scarcity and distribution variability have generated a growing interest in sustainable water management in recent years. In addition, the growing interest in implementing nature-based solutions for urban resilience leads to the development of decentralized water supply systems such as rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) as a complementary resource to conventional centralized water supply systems.

  6. 15. The Susceptibility of the Circumpolar North to Zombie Wildfire : An Exploratory Case Study of Sweden

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Stephanie Louise Hurst; [2021]
    Keywords : Wildfire; zombie fire; overwintering; holdover; carbon cycle; climate change; Circumpolar North; Sweden; Skogsbrand; zombiebrand; övervintrande; kolcykel; klimatförändring; Cirkumpolär Norr; Sverige;

    Abstract : Climate change is warming the North and exposing its immense carbon stores not only to wildfire disturbances, but overwintering, or zombie, fire. These remnants of summer fires can spend months smouldering under the surface, hidden under the protection of layers of snow, burning through immense amounts of carbon, which is then released into the atmosphere, further exacerbating climate change.
