1. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. READ MORE

2. Headfirst into shallow water - Wetland restoration and its contribution to the Habitats Directive
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Located in the borderland between aquatic and terrestrial environments, the wetlands cover a wide spectrum of habitats and enable living standards for a great variety of organisms. Although important habitats, a great extent of the original wetlands have disappeared in Europe and Sweden due to anthropogenic disturbances. READ MORE

3. THE FIRST ACTIVE ACID SULFATE SOIL FOUND OUTSIDE THE BALTIC BASIN, IN VISKA VALLEY WEST COAST OF SWEDEN
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Acid sulfate (AS) soils are naturally formed but are responsible for environmental problem due to its low pH. Drainage of active AS soils can lead to mobilization of harmful metals and a severe pH drop in nearby aquatic environments, which in turn may harm the ecological conditions. READ MORE

4. Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh water into the oceans due to melting of the Earth’s land ice together with thermosteric changes has led to a rise of the global mean sea level with an accelerating rate during the twentieth century.

5. On Linear Mode Connectivity up to Permutation of Hidden Neurons in Neural Network : When does Weight Averaging work?
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Neural networks trained using gradient-based optimization methods exhibit a surprising phenomenon known as mode connectivity, where two independently trained network weights are not isolated low loss minima in the parameter space. Instead, they can be connected by simple curves along which the loss remains low. READ MORE
