  1. 1. Exploring the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties of quasi-low dimensional quantum magnets via thermodynamic measurements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Emelie Zhu; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using GIS and satellite data to assess access of green area for children living in growing cities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Rebecca Borg; [2024]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographical Information System; Urban green space; children; schools; Malmö; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. READ MORE

  4. 3. What is vulnerability to climate change and who are the particularly vulnerable?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Emilie Greve Pobiega; [2024]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The effects of climate change are resulting in harmful impacts — known as loss and damage — hitting the most vulnerable countries the hardest. At COP27 in Sharm el- Sheikh, a new “loss and damage fund” was agreed upon, creating history within the international climate change policy arena. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  6. 5. Turning the tide on marine biodiversity loss: How Swedish coastal cities are leveraging citizen interaction to improve conservation outcomes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Martine Deinum; [2023]
    Keywords : Marine spatial planning; urban planning; blue space; program theory; citizen interaction; coastal conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Rapid coastal urbanization and declining marine biodiversity rates are complex problems that require broad, integrated sets of solutions. Although isolating nature from human impact prevails as the standard conservation approach, social-ecological systems require more holistic solutions. READ MORE
