  1. 11. Evaluation of long-term effects of excavated sulfide-bearing rock : - A case study in western Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Ida Sundblom; [2022]
    Keywords : sulfide-bearing rock; acid rock drainage; sulfide oxidation;

    Abstract : Sulfide-bearing rock that is excavated in conjunction with construction projects can cause environmental and construction engineering problems. Sulfidic minerals oxidize when they are exposed to an oxidant and water, which can make them generate acid rock drainage (ARD) with high concentrations of metals and sulphate. READ MORE

  3. 12. The Aerosol-Chase Project. A continental Lagrangian experiment.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Adrian Reyes Martin; [2021]
    Keywords : Science General; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Determining how aerosol particle number size distributions evolve during long range transport and how aerosol sources contribute to the aerosol population is one of the greatest conundrums in aerosol science. Current monitoring of particle size distribution is done in fixed stations that provide limited information about the reasons why size distribution changes with time. READ MORE

  4. 13. LCA of Low-temperature District Heating Network Components

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Nils Olsson; [2021]
    Keywords : District Heating; LCA; Life Cycle Assessment; Pipes; Environment; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Following the development of new materials and the continuous technical progress made in the construction and energy industries, district heating as a concept finds itself on the brink of a generational shift. One of the pioneering projects leading the way is the creation of Brunnshög, an modern and sustainable district under construction in the north-eastern end of the city of Lund, Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 14. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

  6. 15. Carbon Neutrality 2045 : A case study of how producing companies in Sweden can succeed in becoming carbon neutral through public procurement of construction projects

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Safin Arif; [2021]
    Keywords : Production; Green Production; Sustainability; Sustainable Development; Public procurement; Public sector; Construction Industry; Agenda 2030; Carbon Neutrality; Produktion; Grön Produktion; Hållbarhet; Hållbar Utveckling; Offentlig Upphandling; Offentlig Sektor; Byggbranschen; Agenda 2030; Koldioxidneutralitet;

    Abstract : Today, the construction sector accounts for one-fifth of Sweden's climate impact. The Swedish Parliament has decided that Sweden should have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. This is happening at a time when Sweden is constantly growing. In 2025, we will have 11 million inhabitants. READ MORE
