1. 1. Mandating transparency on deforestation and ecosystem conversion

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Moritz Driescher; [2023]
   Keywords : sustainability reporting; mandatory disclosure; deforestation; ecosystem conversion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The production of eggs, meat, and dairy products in the EU indirectly contributes to deforestation and ecosystem conversion (DEC) in Latin America due to extensive imports of soy for animal feed.

   Author : Alexander Lindblad; [2022]
   Keywords : Ansys Fluent; Multiphase Flow; Spillway; CFD; Volume of Fluid; Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes;

   Abstract : Dam spillways and downstream areas are used to guide large flows of water during for example heavy rainfall. The large flows give way to turbulent pattern sand velocities that may damage the river banks or the dam structure. Investigation of these water patterns at certain flows are therefore done to examine at risk areas. READ MORE
