  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. Mellan skyfall och höjd havsvattennivå : en gestaltning på Atlantparken i Helsingborg

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

    Author : Andrea Stjernström Cronberg; [2023]
    Keywords : landskapsarkitektur; klimat; klimatförändringar; klimatanpassning; dagvattenhantering; skyfall; höjd havsvattennivå; Atlantparken; havsnära park; grönyta; urban grönyta;

    Abstract : En framtida utmaning vad det gäller gestaltning av grönytor är klimatförändringarna. Till följd av den stigande temperaturen i jordens atmosfär kommer extrema väderhändelser som skyfall och torka att öka i frekvens och intensitet samtidigt som den globala havsvattennivån kommer att höjas.

  4. 3. How variations of the duration and time to peak of the Chicago Design Storm affect the hydraulic response, as well as the areas contributing to peak runoff, of a synthetic urban catchment area

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Oskar Ahlstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Avrinningsområde; översvämningsmodellering; peak-bidragande område; hydrograf; hyetograf; MIKE 21; regnintensitet; CDS-regn; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : With an expanding urbanization in the world, and thus the expansion of impermeable surfaces, the risk of pluvial floods is an increasing factor that needs to be considered. This, in combination with increasing rain intensities and frequency of rain events indicates a problem both today and for the future. READ MORE

  5. 4. Automated Solar Panel Shield : An IoT Approach

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola

    Author : Raghu Vamsi Sai Rangannagari; Sri Phani Deverakonda; [2022]
    Keywords : Arduino Uno; Weather monitoring; Sensors; Solar panel; Shield;

    Abstract : Context: Solar panels are exposed to different weather conditions and get damaged. Sand storms and hail storms could cause serious damage. However, they need to be used for human survival in almost every harsh condition possible. Objectives: Our goal is to design and create a working prototype of an automated solar panel shield.

  6. 5. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

    Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.
