1. Modelling the Impact of Climate and Socio-Economic Changes on Nutrient Dynamics in the Catchment of Lake Vomb
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Climate change and socio-economic development are greatly affecting the quality of freshwater, especially the excessive accumulation of nutrients (N and P), which eventually leads to the occurrence of eutrophication. Lake Vomb is one of the main sources of drinking water in southern Sweden and the nutrient load from the catchment makes it a eutrophic lake with recurring algal blooms. READ MORE

2. Design of high performance buildings : Vulnerability of buildings to climate change from an energy perspective
University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnaderAbstract : The challenge of climate change is twofold: to mitigate (prevent) the causes of climate change and to prepare (adapt) to the inevitable effects and consequences. Building and construction are key sectors for decarbonisation (mitigation). READ MORE

3. Combining Continuous and Event-based Hydrological Modeling in Kävlinge River Basin with HEC-HMS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. READ MORE

4. Evaluation of the LPJ-GUESS crop model under ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : In the future atmospheric CO2 concentrations might exceed 550 ppm according to the RCP8.5 scenario by mid-century from our current 410 ppm, while our world population is projected to surpass the 9.7 billion threshold within the same time span. This challenge leads to the raising of questions addressing future food security. READ MORE

5. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). READ MORE
