  1. 11. Flow simulation in MIKE URBAN based on high-resolution X-band radar data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Lisa Olsson; [2019]
    Keywords : X-band radar; MIKE URBAN; modelling; rainfall-runoff; online control; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Radar har använts sedan 1940-talet för att mäta och övervaka nederbörd. Under de senaste åren har X-bandradarn visat sig vara ett verktyg som kan förbättra indata till avrinningsmodellering inom urbana avrinningsområden. Detta tack vare sin höga upplösning i tid och rum jämfört med andra radarer som används vid nederbördsmätning. READ MORE

    Abstract : Runt om i världen dör allt fler människor till följd av skyfall och extremväder. I och med klimatförändringarna väntas även Sverige få fler och större skyfall. När en katastrof inträffar är behovet av att samhällsviktig verksamhet fungerar som störst. READ MORE

  4. 13. An open source web GIS tool for analysis and visualization of elephant GPS telemetry data, alongside environmental and anthropogenic variables

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Patrick Kabatha; [2018]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; web GIS; web mapping; open source; wildlife; elephant; ecology; time series; GPS telemetry; Biology and Life Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availability of moderate to high-resolution satellite data, permits scientists to develop elephant cognitive maps of their adjacent environment, thus offering novel opportunities for research in the fields of wildlife movement ecology and the wider conservation biology.

  5. 14. Differences in consequences between peak arrivals and movement directions of an extreme rainfall in flood modeling

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Samuel Hermelin; [2018]
    Keywords : Uniform rain; CDS-rain; rain types; movement; peak arrivals; modelling; flooding; MIKE 21; climate change;

    Abstract : To avoid damages and costs for the society due to flooding is it important to be able to model accurate rain scenarios. Due to climate change is it thought that there will be more heavy rainfalls in the future which will increase the risk for flooding. READ MORE

  6. 15. Frequency analysis of heavy rainfall related to synoptic weather patterns in Kyushu Island, Japan by using the Self-Organizing Map (SOM)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Norihiro Ohashi; [2018]
    Keywords : Heavy rainfall frequency; Self-Organizing Map; Pattern recognition; Meteorological fields; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Recently heavy rainfall frequency in Kyushu Island, the southwestern part of Japan, during the rainy season, has been increasing due to possibly climate change, global warming. Owing to the recent increase of heavy rainfall frequency, natural disasters related to heavy rainfall including flooding and landslides have occurred and caused serious damages to infrastructures and human lives.
