    Keywords : Black Carbon; Chemothermal Optical Method; Health Impacts; Particulate Matter 2.5; Thermal Optical Reflectance Method;

    Abstract : Black carbon has been reported to have major impacts on climate, environmental quality, and health. A chemothermal oxidation method, ordinarily used to isolate black carbon from soils, sediments and aquatic samples was applied to explore atmospheric samples. READ MORE

  4. 3. Extreme precipitation events in the Sichuan Basin and their connection to mesoscale disturbances

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Anna Dugoul; [2022-10-04]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Sichuan Basin (SB) is a region with frequent extreme precipitation during summer, principally as a result of its location and topography, with the most extreme events possibly leading to floodings and landslides. A better understanding of these extreme events’ characteristics and triggers could help to improve forecasting methods, while improving the knowledge about climate dynamics in the region is crucial for climate change studies.

  6. 5. Mapping future floods in coastal Bangladesh - Impacts of projected changes in sea level and precipitation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Agnes Pierre; [2022]
    Keywords : flood modelling; TFM-DYN; sea level rise; land subsidence; extreme precipitation; tidal flooding; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future.
