  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. Assessing the potential impacts of tall buildings on a predominantly low-rise built urban environment : A case study from Västerås, Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för geografi

    Author : Vera Schwab; [2022]
    Keywords : Tall buildings; The City Image; 3D modelling; GIS; Shadow Analysis; Visibility Analysis; Västerås;

    Abstract : Tall buildings have been constructed in many cities over the world to accommodate the demographic and economic growth in urban areas. These structures, however, have been widely discussed concerning their potential negative impacts on urban life. READ MORE

  4. 3. A GP-Surrogate-Based Bayesian Framework for Surge Barrier Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Abel Valko; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian Optimization; Gaussian Process Regression; Storm Surge; GeoClaw; GISSR;

    Abstract : Tropical cyclone induced storm surges are some of the largest environmental risks facing infrastructure and human life in dense urban environments. Hurricane Sandy caused 44 deaths and damage of 19 billion US dollars in New York City alone. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect in a Local Context : how wind and vegetation regulate temperatures during summer, with an example from the grounds of Karlstad Central Hospital, Sweden

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

    Author : Patricia Kirkhorn; [2022]
    Keywords : GIS; Envi-met; microclimate; climate change; vegetation; wind; city planning; urban heat island; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : Climate change is the cause of more weather extremes. Cities' dense configuration, heat absorbing surfaces and low amount of vegetation leads to higher temperatures within cities known as the urban heat island effect (UHI). READ MORE

  6. 5. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.
