1. 1. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

3. 2. Increasing ecosystem services at an industrial area : A study applied to Rönnskärsverken

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Lisa Larsson; Petra Ljunggren; [2023]
   Keywords : Green areas; Biodiversity; Environmental regulation; Nature Based Solutions; Stormwater management;

   Abstract : What are ecosystem services, what are the possibilities to use them as a solution to remediate environmental problems, and how can they be increased in an industrial area such as Rönnskärsverken? The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the potential and the incentive for increasing ecosystem services in Rönnskärsverken’s industrial area through green areas and nature based stormwater management solutions on the site.  Ecosystem services is a concept that was put on the political agenda in the UN in 2005 in order to create a common definition and valuation to raise awareness of the values that nature provides to human beings.

4. 3. Development of a Low Noise Drone Propeller Using CFD Simulations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Axel Schulz; [2023]
   Keywords : Drone Propeller Low Noise Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Noise pollution generated by drones has in recent years become a concern for humans and wildlife and has in some regions resulted in regulatory backlash. This thesis investigates the possibilities of developing a low noise drone propeller using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. READ MORE

5. 4. Changes in cetacean presence and behavior in response to reduced marine traffic - the effects of a nationwide lockdown

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad

   Author : Lisa Falk Lindberg; Lindqvist Erika; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Creating noise-pollution and other disturbances, marine traffic poses a great threat to marine mammals all over the world which may demonstrate through short- and long-term changes in behavior and distribution. The Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 provided a setting to study the effects of marine traffic on cetacean presence and interactive behavior. READ MORE

6. 5. A comparison of 2D and 3D resistivity surveys for 3D inversion imaging

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Julia Cavell; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Following study focuses on electrical resistivity surveying and how it can be used as an exploration method to increase knowledge of subsurface structures. Future scenarios with increasing population and rapid urbani-zation, put high demands on reliable infrastructure; safe foundations, un-derground structures, environmental safety and access to resources.
