  1. 16. Multi-method based characterization of calving events at Sálajiegna Glacier - Lake Sulitelma, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Martin Schulthess; [2021]
    Keywords : Glaciology; Glacier; Glaciers; Calving; calving front; detection algorithm; Acoustic; Acoustics; Photogrammetry; ice-ocean interactions; UAV; drone; time-lapse; Salajiegna;

    Abstract : Sea level rise concerns millions of people in coastal areas across the globe. One of the largest uncertainties to project future sea level rise is the frontal ablation (accounting for calving and submarine melt) at marine ice margins, around the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet.

  3. 17. Modelling the effects of climate change on ice dynamics at Kangerlussuaq Glacier, Greenland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Jamie Barnett; [2021]
    Keywords : Glacier; Greenland; Ice Sheet; Outlet; Discharge; Sea level; Kangerlussuaq; calving; ice mélange; melt; retreat;

    Abstract : A consequence of climate change is rising global sea levels, predicted to bring increased socio-economic and environmental impacts to coastal communities. The Greenland Ice Sheet has become a prominent contributor to rising sea levels, a consequence of the Arctic warming at twice the rate of the global average. READ MORE

  4. 18. Ságastallam/Dialogue

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Emil Stefansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : The hiker reaches out from the city, town, or village, intending to be alone. Away from sounds, away from paved roads and houses, away from streetlights and phones, away from people. But what is ‘nature’, and who has the right to it? The untouched landscape shaped by nothing but the earth itself is today hard to find. READ MORE

  5. 19. Driving forces and expectations for sustainability within the corporate sector

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Jasmine Axelsson; Amelie Björkman; [2021]
    Keywords : Carbon offset; business strategy; driving forces; developmental barriers; future analysis; sustainability strategy; voluntary carbon market.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is a long-term challenge that requires urgent actions. An increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing changes in the climate system such as melting glaciers and extreme weather conditions, are correlated to economic growth. READ MORE

  6. 20. Spatial Variability in Winter Balance on Storglaciären Modelled With a Coupled Terrain Based Approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Yoram Terleth; [2021]
    Keywords : mass balance; accumulation; snow transport; snow drift; avalanches; glaciology;

    Abstract : Although most processes governing the surface mass balance on mountain glaciers are well understood, the causes and extent of spatial variability in accumulation remain poorly constrained. In the present study, the EBFM distributed mass balance model is newly coupled to terrain based modelling routines estimating mass redistribution by snowdrift, preferential deposition, and avalanching (ST-EBFM) in order to model winter balance on Storglaciären, Sweden.
