  1. 1. Assessing the impact of post-fire restoration interventions using spectral vegetation indices: A case study in El Bruc, Spain

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Bernat Dorado Guerrero; [2022]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; restoration intervention; drylands; monitoring; BACI; spectral vegetation indices; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ecological restoration has become an increasingly used practice to revert degraded land and mitigate the effects of extreme events in vulnerable biomes such as drylands. Methods to improve the assessment of these restoration interventions are essential to ensure their success, optimize resources and identify improvement aspects for future interventions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Worst Credible Process Fire: Experiences from the Norwegian Petroleum Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Linnéa Tengvall; [2019]
    Keywords : Worst Credible Process Fire; Norwegian offshore industry; offshore fire safety; offshore process safety; offshore design; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The term Worst Credible Process Fire (WCPF) was introduced to the Norwegian Petroleum Industry as a complement to the probabilistic approach to define design loads for offshore facilities. Currently there are mainly two documents about the WCPF being the SINTEF report (2017) and the definition in NORSOK S-001 (2018). READ MORE

  5. 4. Jet and hydrocarbon fire tests and investigation of the regulations concerning the reduction of the corresponding fire risks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Christoffer Schön; [2017]
    Keywords : Passive fire protection; jet fire tests; hydrocarbon fire test; pool fire; protection requirements; law and regulation interpretation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Jet and hydrocarbon fires are severe fires with the potential of creating large scale events which leads to serious accidents with both casualties and injuries. In this study, practical jet and hydrocarbon fire tests were carried out to assess standard ISO 834 based protection as well as improved passive fire protection. READ MORE
