1. 21. An evaluation of deep learning models for urban floods forecasting

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Yang Mu; [2022]
   Keywords : Urban flooding forecasting; Convolutional neural networks; Deep learning; Physically-based simulation; Recurrent neural network; Stadsöversvämningsprognoser; konvolutionella neurala nätverk; djupinlärning; fysiskt baserad simulering; återkommande neurala nätverk;

   Abstract : Flood forecasting maps are essential for rapid disaster response and risk management, yet the computational complexity of physically-based simulations hinders their application for efficient high-resolution spatial flood forecasting. To address the problems of high computational cost and long prediction time, this thesis proposes to develop deep learning neural networks based on a flood simulation dataset, and explore their potential use for flood prediction without learning hydrological modelling knowledge from scratch.

3. 22. Mainstreaming Nature-based Solutions - The Impact of Societal Dynamics on Risk and Adaptation Perspectives of Pluvial Floods in Malmö

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Minja Sillanpää; Sofia Ritthammer; [2022]
   Keywords : Nature-based Solutions; Blue-Green Solutions; Mainstreaming Adaptation; Sustainable Urban Stormwater Management; Pluvial Flood-Risk; Climate Change Adaptation; Private Stakeholder Engagement; Capacity Development; Grounded Theory; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Cities around the world are not only facing the impacts of climate change but are also increasingly charged with the responsibility to adapt. The city of Malmö in Sweden, facing the consequences of ever-so-present pluvial floods, has set an objective to increase the use of multifunctional Nature-based Solutions (NBS) in its urban stormwater planning.

4. 23. Adapting to melting glaciers : how Western Himalayan societies frame climate change and adaptation

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Taha Anis; [2022]
   Keywords : Adaptation; identity; risk and Information; authority; Himalayas; frame analysis; Gilgit-Baltistan; Pakistan;

   Abstract : The glaciers of the Hindu-Kush Himalayas region flow into 10 major river basins and sustain nearly 2 billion people, with 250 million being directly dependent on them for freshwater sources while a further 1.65 billion rely on their outflows. READ MORE

5. 24. -2,32m: How to protect a city under water?

   University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

   Author : Jonatan Weiber; [2022]
   Keywords : Kristianstad; Flooding; Ecosystem services; Helge Å; Urban Design;

   Abstract : Kristianstad is a city of 41.000 inhabitants in southern Sweden. Once a fort on an island in the river of Helge Å, parts of the river and surrounding lakes were lowered or removed as the city expanded. This has caused parts of Kristianstad to have the lowest point in Sweden, -2,32 meters below ocean level. READ MORE

6. 25. Det gröna torget : hur kan vi förbättra biodiversiteten på torg?

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

   Author : Max Bertilsson; [2022]
   Keywords : biodiversitet; ekosystemstjänster; ekosystemsprocesser; insekter; djur; torg; torgdesign; Malmö;

   Abstract : Urbana miljöers utbredning har haft stor påverkan på den naturliga miljön och många djur och insektsarters naturliga habitat har försvunnit och ersatts av hårdgjord markyta och byggnader. Detta har inte bara påverkat djur och insektsvärlden utan även oss människor negativt i form av förorenad luft, översvämningar och störande buller från fordon. READ MORE
