  1. 6. Methods for Coastal Flooding Risk Assessments : An Application in Iceland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Guðrún Elín Jóhannsdóttir; [2019]
    Keywords : Coastal flooding; sea level; sea level rise; risk assessment; hazard; Havsöversvämning; havsnivå; havsnivåhöjning; riskbedömning; fara;

    Abstract : Flood risk increases with rising sea levels and coastal settlements need to adapt to this increasing risk. For that, hazard and risk assessments are an important step. Coastal floods have caused problems in Iceland in the past and are thought to do so in the future as well. READ MORE

  3. 7. Impacts of future sea level rise and high water on roads, railways and environmental objects: a GIS analysis of the potential effects of increasing sea levels and highest projected high water in Scania, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Emilie Jideblad Arnesten; [2019]
    Keywords : geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; sea level; sea level rise; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study uses GIS analyses to investigate the risk that increasing sea levels and highest projected highwater pose by increasing the risk of inundation on state-owned roads and railways as well as environmental objects in their side areas. This is done through an assessment of sea level rise projections and a risk analysis, which points out where vulnerable features are located and provides timeframes and durations for the risk.

  4. 8. Åtgärder för att möta en förhöjd havsnivå : en jämförelse av översvämningshantering i Göteborg och Malmö

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Anna Joos; [2019]
    Keywords : förhöjda havsnivåer; klimatanpassning; översvämningshantering; översvämmade städer; översvämning; stadsplanering; Göteborg; Malmö;

    Abstract : Världshaven förväntas stiga med minst 3 decimeter till 1 meter innan år 2100 som ett resultat av global uppvärmning. Efter år 2100 blir det allt svårare att bedöma i vilken hastighet havsnivån kommer att stiga. READ MORE

  5. 9. Multistressors Related to Climate Change and Their Effects on Global Biodiversity during the Cenozoic Age

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Robin Mårtensson; [2018]
    Keywords : multistressors; biodiversity; paleontology; Paleocene; Eocene; Oligocene; Miocene; Pliocene; Pleistocene; sea level; deep ocean temperature; sea surface temperature; carbon dioxide; foraminifera; ocean circulation; Cenozoic; paleoceanography; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As multistressors have been shown to have significant effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, the following study was made with the purpose of examining how a number of stressors specifically connected to climate change may have varied during the latest 65,5 million years and whether it is possible to predict potential effects on global biodiversity in the future. The analyses focused on global species richness during the Cenozoic age along with variables such as variations in atmospheric CO2, sea surface temperatures and global sea levels derived from analyses of various stable isotopes found in marine sediments.

  6. 10. A comparison of modelled precipitation in Greenland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Rebecca Vesterberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Greenland; precipitation; Surface mass balance; SMB; ice sheet; accumulation; ablation; sea level rise; Regional Climate Model; HIRHAM5; Numerical Weather Prediction model; HIRLAM7.3; biases; climate change; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Greenland ice sheet develops throughout the year with the changing weather condi- tions. Precipitation contributes by increasing the mass, whilst warmth induces melting, which makes the ice sheet diminish. READ MORE
