  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. A personalized quasi-passive ankleexoskeleton using human-in-the loop optimization approaches

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Ho Ming Kong; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Passive ankle exoskeletons have been proven to successfully decrease muscle demand for walking. The movement of the user’s ankle drives a mechanical clutch and spring, which eventually stores and returns mechanical energy to the user. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
    Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sink or Swim: Sea Level Rise Adaptation in Venice, Italy : A case of citizen non-participation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Jesper Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : civic capacity; climate change; Gioia methodology; MOSE; project development; public involvement;

    Abstract : Due to global warming, sea levels will irreversibly continue to rise around the world throughout this century. Therefore, coastal urban communities will need to adapt to new environmental challenges, such as more frequent and intense flood events. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enhancing human-robot interaction using mixed reality
