  1. 36. Sustainable water use in Cyprus

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggande

    Author : Elena Paschali; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Water scarcity exerts an impact on the socio-economic life and environment of Cyprus. Forinstance, agriculture productivity has decreased. Groundwater health has declined due to itsprimary use for decades. New ways of supplying water were now preferred. READ MORE

  3. 37. Evaluating the potential of artificial infiltration to increase groundwater storage using MIKE SHE : A case study in northern Storsudret, Gotland

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sara Schmidt; Per Uppsäll; [2020]
    Keywords : Groundwater modelling; hydrogeology; aquifer assessment; freshwater resources;

    Abstract : The island of Gotland, Sweden, is struggling with supplying the population with freshwater during summers. At the same time as the demand increases during these months, the warm weather and geological conditions prevent sufficient volumes of groundwater to recharge. READ MORE

  4. 38. Vegetation som ett värmereducerande verktyg i den urbana miljön : grön infrastruktur och vegetationens värmereducerande effekter

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

    Author : Max Eriksson; Marcus Wikholm; [2019]
    Keywords : värmereducering; lufttemperatur; städer; grön infrastruktur; urban heat island; albedo; evapotranspiration; vindförhållande; skugga; gröna tak; grönområden;

    Abstract : En av de svåraste utmaningarna dagens samhälle står inför idag är den globala uppvärmningen och de globala klimatförändringarna. Den globala uppvärmningen bidrar till stora temperaturförändringar i våra städer och Norden är den del av Europa som kommer att påverkas i störst utsträckning av denna klimatförändring. READ MORE

  5. 39. Energy balance closure, water balance, carbon exchange, and water use efficiency : observed and modeled outcomes for a managed, hemiboreal forest in Southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Linsey Marie Avila; [2019]
    Keywords : Energy balance; energy balance closure; energy balance ratio; net radiation; sensible heat; latent heat; turbulent fluxes; ground heat flux; energy storage; available energy; Bowen ratio; evaporative fraction; latent heat of vaporization; water balance; evapotranspiration; precipitation; water storage; water discharge; gross primary production; ecosystem respiration; net ecosystem production; carbon exchange; water use efficiency; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctuations in precipitation, decreases in yearly snow, faster snow melt rates, variability in evapotranspiration due to environmental stress, and related changes in the energy, hydrological, and carbon cycles will change these northern, boreal landscapes is crucial.

  6. 40. Climate change effects on the sub-Saharan agriculture- a case study in Kenya on maize growth and adaptation options

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Alessia Signorelli; [2019]
    Keywords : physical geography; sub-saharan africa; agriculture; maize; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is progressively advancing, and is affecting the entire globe, with some areas more vulnerable than others. Among them, the sub-Saharan Africa, with a very low adaptive capacity, mainly relies on one economic sector: agriculture. Due to its high climate-dependency, agriculture is at elevated risk. READ MORE
