  1. 1. Property Prices and Disaster (In)Justice: Fifty Years of Demographic Change in Hawai’i County’s Lava Hazard Zones

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : AnaCapri Mauro; [2022]
    Keywords : Social Vulnerability; Volcanic Hazards; Disaster Justice; Risk Governance; Temporal Analysis; Mauna Loa; Kīlauea; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : While there is a degree of homogeneity in the physical impact that volcanic hazards can cause, the experience of volcanic risk and the politics of exposure are far from equal. The purpose of this thesis is to expand on research citing population growth and property price dynamics as factors encouraging settlement in the Mauna Loa and Kīlauea lava hazard zones. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of the Stratospheric Aerosol Load After the 2019 Raikoke Eruption

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Felicia Carlborg; [2021]
    Keywords : Volcanic Climate Impact; Raikoke; CALIPSO; Satellite; Stratospheric Aerosols; Radiative Forcing; Aerosol Optical Depth; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The stratospheric aerosol load after the eruption of Raikoke in 2019 have been analysed with satellite data from the CALIPSO satellite. The goal was to see how much the stratospheric aerosol load increased due to the Brewer Dobson circulation, and further, how this affected the stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD), and the corresponding radiative forcing (RF).

  4. 3. Climate enhanced concrete in the civil engineering industry

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Daniel Hofgård; John Sundkvist; [2020]
    Keywords : Alternative binders; carbon dioxide emissions; concrete for bridges; hydropower structures; wind powerplant foundations; GGBS; fly ash; material parameters; silica fume; trass; volcanic ash.; Alternativa bindemedel; vindkraftsfundament; brobetong; GGBS; flygaska; koldioxidutsläpp; mald granulerad masugnsslagg; materialparametrar; silikastoft; trass; vattenbyggnadsbetong; vulkanaska;

    Abstract : In 2017, the Swedish Parliament stated a new climate law with the goal that Sweden should be climate neutral by 2045. The concrete industry has developed a roadmap on how the goal for 2045 can be achieved, where one way to reduce the carbon emissions from concrete is by replacing a part of the cement clinker with alternative binders in the concrete mix.

  5. 4. Is there an influence of solar activity on the North Atlantic Oscillation? : a literature study of the forcing factors behind the North Atlantic Oscillation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Ida Johansson; [2015]
    Keywords : stratospheric-tropospheric couplings; solar activiy; The North Atlantic Oscillation; blockings; climatic variations; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Nordatlantiska Oscillationen (NAO) är ett atmosfäriskt cirkulationsfenomen som kännetecknas av skillnader i havsnivåtryck mellan högtrycksområdet vid Azorerna och lågtrycksområdet över Island. NAO varierar mellan en positiv och negativ fas beroende på hur väl utvecklade dessa högtrycksområden är. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transportation and deposition of volcanic ash from Iceland to the Arctic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Josefin Jönsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Grímsvötn 2011; volcanic eruption; the Arctic; transportation and deposition of volcanic ash; albedo; air traffic; Physics and Astronomy; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As the Arctic will become more available to shipping traffic in the future, given the current trend of diminishing ice sheets continues, the emission of particles and gases originating from ships will increase in the Arctic. The emission of particles and gases can affect the sensitive Arctic environment in many ways, e.g. READ MORE
