  3. 2. Changes in July albedo and its relationship with EVI over the last two decades in the Swedish alpine region

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Vera Grönvik Hende; [2023]
    Keywords : Shortwave albedo; Enhanced Vegetation Index EVI ; Alpine vegetation; Scandes; Surface albedo feedback; MODIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Vegetation in the subarctic is expected to respond to climate warming as its growth becomes less temperature limited. This has previously been recorded in the form of treeline advances and increasing shrub cover. Changes in vegetation cover may accelerate warming due to a decrease in summer albedo, in what is termed surface albedo feedback. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of a model for ionospheric instabilities in the equatorial region

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Thea Lepage; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This work is part of a bigger project on analyzing the ionospheric dynamics in the equatorial region using simulations. The main objective of this study is to determine and characterize the parameters needed to trigger instabilities and thus the formation of plasma bubbles. READ MORE

  5. 4. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; FLUXNET; Gross Primary Productivity; Ecosystem Respiration; Permafrost; Active Layer Thickness; Snow Depth; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

  6. 5. Renewable Energy and Sweden : An overview of how different regions in Sweden work towards an increase in implementation of renewable energy.

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik
