  1. 1. Modelling the Impact of Climate and Socio-Economic Changes on Nutrient Dynamics in the Catchment of Lake Vomb

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Yanhe Zhou; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate change; hydrological modelling; nutrient; RCP; socioeconomic development; SSP; SWAT; water quality modelling;

    Abstract : Climate change and socio-economic development are greatly affecting the quality of freshwater, especially the excessive accumulation of nutrients (N and P), which eventually leads to the occurrence of eutrophication. Lake Vomb is one of the main sources of drinking water in southern Sweden and the nutrient load from the catchment makes it a eutrophic lake with recurring algal blooms. READ MORE

  3. 2. Life Cycle Assessment of Borehole Thermal Energy Storage

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Saga Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) is a technology used to store energy between seasons. It could therefore be a solution to the seasonal mismatch between the use and production of (renewable) energy, which can be used to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  4. 3. A Comprehensive Review of the Factors Influencing the Environmental Impact of different Species bred in Closed Land-based Recirculating Aquaculture Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Siri Samuelsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Recirculating aquaculture system; renewable electricity; Feed Conversion Ratio; environmental impact; freshwater eutrophication; climate change; land use; cumulative energy use; acidification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Today the future supply of seafood is threatened due to human activities which, among other things, has led to overfishing. However, more environmental friendly initiatives of producing seafood have emerged, such as Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs). READ MORE

  5. 4. Life Cycle Assessment of Urban Underground Oyster Mushroom Farming

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emile Lemaitre; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment LCA ; Urban mushroom farming; Oyster mushrooms; Urban agriculture; Livscykelanalys LCA ; Urban svampodling; Ostronskivling; Stadsodling;

    Abstract : Global food production has been recognized as the single largest driver of environmental degradation and transgression of planetary boundaries. Providing healthy food sustainably to a growing, mostly urban population will require radical changes to the food system. READ MORE

  6. 5. How brownification and eutrophication effects a drinking water source – with Lake Bolmen, Sweden, in focus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Stina Stomberg; [2022]
    Keywords : brownification; eutrophication effects; drinking water; phytoplankton; Lake Bolmen; mesocosm; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. READ MORE
