31. Modelling solar access at the window level of buildings – a case study for urban densification simulations in Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. READ MORE

32. The future of urban trees – assessing the potential impact of climate change on urban tree populations in two European cities
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Due to climate change, cities are increasingly facing the situation of being exposed to more frequent and prolonged extreme weather events in the future, such as heat and droughts, which are exacerbated by urban heat island (UHI) effects. The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) in the form of trees is seen as a possible adaptation measure to regulate the microclimate. READ MORE

33. Digitalization in the rail industry: Localizing damaged cargo wagons using spatial operations and big data
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Climate change and the sustainability challenges of the 21st century require the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors. Accordingly, political objectives urge for a shift from road to rail in logistics. This drives innovation, increased efficiency, and customer friendliness in the rail industry. READ MORE

34. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. READ MORE

35. Impact of fire and frost drought events on vegetation greenness and albedo in Subarctic Scandinavia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : With climate change, the frequency in climate extremes such as drought, heavy rainfalls, and extreme temperatures is predicted to increase. These extremes can potentially stress and damage vegetation over large areas, leading to altered carbon cycle, vegetation greenness, albedo, and shifted species composition. READ MORE
