1. Climate, Irrigation, and GHGs : a Regional Analysis of EU Arable Land Values
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EconomicsAbstract : This master's thesis explores the influence of climate conditions on EU arable land values, pioneering a novel approach that blends the Ricardian Approach models within an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) framework. By employing this methodology at the regional level of NUTS2, the study offers insights into the interplay between climate and land value. READ MORE

2. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

4. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. READ MORE

5. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.
