1. 1. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
   Keywords : heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

   Abstract : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. READ MORE

3. 2. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Tómas Halldórsson Alexander; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Soil moisture; Downscaling; Vegetation index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.

4. 3. Energy demand and biogas production in rural areas : A case study in the Raqayapampa community in Bolivia

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Halvor Solheim Haugen; Noel Arancibia Holm; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Improved access to energy can greatly improve living standards, and there are correlations between increased access to electricity and higher scores on both the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Educational Development Index (EDI). Increasing access to energy can also help decrease dependability on hazardous fuels and energy sources, such as firewood for cooking. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of Heat Mapping Techniques – the Case of Linköping

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

   Author : Pei Zhao; [2023]
   Keywords : correlation analysis; spatial analysis; land surface temperature LST ; mean radiant temperature MRT ; vulnerable population;

   Abstract : Land surface temperature (LST) and mean radiant temperature (MRT) are commonly used as proxies to evaluate urban heat environments. Many scholars use one of them to represent heat exposure when assessing the urban thermal environment. READ MORE

6. 5. Computational Pipeline for Analyses of Genome-Wide Nascent Transcription from PRO-seq Data

   University essay from KTH/Genteknologi

   Author : Serhat Aktay; [2023]
   Keywords : Transcription; functional genomic regions; heat shock response; computational pipeline development; automation.; Genavläsning; genomets funktionella regioner; värmechockrespons; dataanalysutveckling; automatisering;

   Abstract : Celler har en rad olika sätt att försvara sig mot stress för att överleva, främst genom att reglera transkriptionen av gener. En metod för att undersöka hur cellens transkription förändras vid cellulär stress är precision run-on sequencing (PRO-seq). READ MORE
