  1. 1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Charlotte Sophie Gausa; [2024]
    Keywords : Arctic; wind profile power law; MOST; boundary layer; low level jets; sea ice; vindprofil; Arktis; gränsskikt; vindenergi; låghöjdsvindar; havsis;

    Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

  3. 2. Turning Night into Day : Does Skyglow affect Bat Activity and Timing of Emergence?

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Torge Gerwin; [2023]
    Keywords : Skyglow; Bats; Light pollution; Bat activity; Bat emergence; Riparian forest; Landscape composition; Multi-scale landscape; Landscape management; Sweden;

    Abstract : Artificial brightness of the night sky caused by the backscatter of artificial light in the atmosphere is a consequence of ongoing urbanization. Skyglow covers 88 % of Europe’s surface and poses significant threats to biodiversity. Extensive research on responses of bats to direct light pollution already revealed significant impacts.

  4. 3. Bluegreengrey (BGG) solution for future climate and flood-resilient urban drainage network by enhancing the natural hydrological cycle

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Adnan Asif Rifat; [2023]
    Keywords : Bluegreengrey; Sustainable stormwater; Basement flooding; Urban flooding; Pipe Network; BGG; Climate change; Hydrology; Mike .; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. READ MORE

  5. 4. Electrical Impedance Profiling of Plants, Coffee and TREO

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Adam Bushara; Sebastian Daniel Clyne; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract :  The aim of the project was to investigate the possibility of using low-cost hardware to monitor plant health, measure the impedance of water containing dissolved substances at different concentrations, and observe how the plant impedance is affected compared to auxiliary measurements of soil moisture, ambient light, humidity, and temperature.To measure impedance, we used electrical impedance spectroscopy which gives the impedanceacross a spectrum of frequencies.

  6. 5. Top - down control: parasitism and predation on Gonyostomum semen in Swedish brown water lakes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ingrid Bergman; [2022]
    Keywords : limnology; phytoplankton; top-down control;

    Abstract : Gonyostomum semen is a raphidophyte microalgae that can be found in brown water lakes all over Sweden. The species forms substantial summer blooms that can completely dominate the phytoplankton community, largely due to its limited grazing pressure. To test whether parasites control the abundance of G. READ MORE
