1. 21. Total carbon sequestration during an entire rotation period of oil palm in northern Borneo

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Josefin Runesson; [2019]
   Keywords : oil palm; carbon balance; carbon sequestration; land use change; soil carbon; carbon credits;

   Abstract : Considerable amounts of carbon (C) has been lost from tropical forests as a result of continuous conversion of tropical forests into oil palm plantations. Therefore, a better understanding of the C budget and potential sequestration rate in oil palm plantations and how it compares to natural forests is needed. READ MORE

3. 22. Assessment of the water storage potential at Lake Mjölhatteträsk on Storsudret, Gotland

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Amanda Uhlin; Isabelle Hajek; [2019]
   Keywords : MIKE SHE; MIKE HYDRO; GIS; groundwater modelling; hydrogeology; hydrologic cycle; water demand; MIKE SHE; MIKE HYDRO; GIS; grundvattenmodellering; hydrogeologi; hydrologiska cykeln; vattenbehov;

   Abstract : During the recent summers, Gotland has suffered from drinking water shortage and due to the climate change, the water shortage can possible increase in the future. To find a solution, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute IVL and Region Gotland are going to build a testbed at Storsudret located on the south of Gotland, to investigate different sustainable solutions.

4. 23. Hydrological and chloride transport processes in a small catchment of the Norrström Basin : a MIKE SHE modelling approach

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Zhuhuan Liu; Chen Zhou; [2019]
   Keywords : MIKE SHE; Hydrological Modelling; Kringlan; Water Balance; Particle Tracking;

   Abstract : Water is ubiquitous on our planet and constitutes a vital part of ecosystems. It supports the life of all beings on the earth while simultaneously evokes water-related issues such as water shortage, water contamination. As UN advocates, a globally shared blueprint for available clean water is depicted in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). READ MORE

5. 24. Den gråblå vägen till grönska : en undersökande studie över regnbäddars potential att göra plats för träd i gatumiljö med gestaltningsexempel från Västerport, Varberg

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Anton Åberg; [2019]
   Keywords : regnbädd; hållbar dagvattenhantering; biofilter; rain garden; SuDS; stadsträd; gatuträd; gatumiljö; landskapsarkitektur;

   Abstract : Den moderna, täta urbana miljön bjuder på många utmaningar kring hur de processer som är givna i en naturlig miljö, ska hanteras när ekosystemen sätts ur spel. En så enkel sak som regn kan bli ett stort problem när all mark som kunde omhändertagit nederbörden blivit hårdgjord eller bebyggd. READ MORE

6. 25. Hydrologic modelling of the Zackenberg river basin : an applied study using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Malin Ahlbäck; [2018]
   Keywords : Greenland; SWAT; High Arctic; Distributed Hydrologic Modelling; GIS; surface Water; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Since the 1980s, the Arctic has experienced an amplified warming of more than twice the rate of the global-mean, leading to large-scale changes in the Arctic hydrologic system, ultimately having cascading feedbacks on the global climate. However, few of today’s distributed models manage to capture the complex processes in Arctic hydrology, and therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate the usage of the distributed Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, to see whether it could capture the different surface water paths and processes characterizing the Arctic water cycle.
