  1. 1. Aerosol Input and Snow Accumulation Rates on the Northern Greenland Ice Sheet : Reconstructed by means of Continuous Flow Analysis (CFA) of 6 shallow firn cores

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Patrick Stephan Zens; [2018]
    Keywords : continuous flow analysis; Greenland; shallow firn core; aerosol; snow accumulation; glaciochemistry; kontinuerlig flödesanalys; Grönland; grunda firnkärnor; aerosol; snöackumulering; glaciokemi;

    Abstract : Ice, firn and snow cores from the Greenland ice sheet offer a unique opportunity to reconstruct past climate conditions. These can be analyzed with continuous flow analysis (CFA) in order to acquire proxy information about ancient atmospheric aerosol concentrations, snow accumulation rates or temperature variations, atmospheric composition, solar activity as well as volcanism and biological activity.

  3. 2. Cost-effective and energy-efficient renovation measures of multi-family apartment buildings constructed during the million program - Where carbon dioxide emissions minimization is a key issue

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Christofer Svensson; [2017]
    Keywords : Energy efficiency; Cost-effectiveness; Carbon dioxide minimization; Co-benefits; IEA EBC Annex 56; Renovation; The million program; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Swedish construction and real estate sector has a significant impact on the total national carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption. Thus, energy efficient and environmentally friendly renovation measures of existing buildings in Sweden plays an important role in the attempt to mitigate the climate changes. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Hydrological Model of the Mundaú River Basin, Recalibration of a MGB-IPH rainfall-runoff model using updated land-use data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Michael Cockrell; [2016]
    Keywords : Rainfall runoff modeling; MGB-IPH; Mundaú; Brazil; Water allocation grants; ANA; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Avrinningsområdet Mundaú har sitt ursprung i den Brasilianska delstaten Pernambuco och rinner i sydöstlig riktning mot Mundaúlagunen längs Atlantkusten tillhörande delstaten Alagoas. Området faller under nationell jurisdiktion, är relativt oreglerat och erfar både översvämningar och torrperioder. READ MORE

  5. 4. Potential for cultivation of Miscanthus x Giganteus for biofuel production in different climate zones : with a changing climate and limited water resources

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Erik Tobin; Linnéa Tjernström; [2013]
    Keywords : biofuel; miscanthus; global warming; CoupModel; water balance; energy crop;

    Abstract : Miscanthus Giganteus is a rapidly growing perennial grass utilizing C4 photosynthesis that is a promising candidate as a raw resource for “second generation” biofuel production. This study seeks to determine the long-term sustainability, from a water balance perspective, of cultivating this plant in different climate zones. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulations of water balance conditions and cli-mate variability for Sustainable Agriculture and Energy in the Lower Rufiji Basin.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Rajabu Hamisi; [2013]
    Keywords : Adaptation; Agriculture; Climate Change; CoupModel; Hydropower; SWAT; Water Balance;

    Abstract : This study provides a long-term understanding of the impact of climate varia-bility and land use on seasonal water balance conditions for sustainable agricul-ture development, hydropower generation and ecosystem stability in the Lower Rufiji Basin. The severity of soil drought, extreme flooding and salinity intru-sion in the lower Rufiji floodplains are currently increasing smallholder poverty and enhance the sensitivity on the natural wetlands for shifting farming and livestock pastures.
