  1. 11. Life Cycle Assessment : a comparison of fossil energy use and climate impact on small scale manufacturing and large scale conventional manufacturing of textile toys

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Malin Henriksen; [2024]
    Keywords : textile toy; LCA; energy use; sustainable production; China; Sri Lanka; cotton production; fossil fuel use; GWP100;

    Abstract : This study conducts a Life Cycle Assessment to compare the environmental impacts, specifically climate impact and fossil fuel use, of textile toys produced in China and Sri Lanka. Through evaluating large-scale industrial production in China against small-scale, handcrafted production in Sri Lanka, it identifies the considerable environmental footprint of cotton production in both scenarios.

  2. 12. The Role of Uni- and Multivariate Bias Adjustment Methods for Future Hydrological Projections and Subsequent Decision-Making

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Anna Merle Liebenehm-Axmann; [2024]
    Keywords : Bias adjustment methods; future hydrological climate projections; statistical analysis; future streamflow analysis; biasjusteringsmetoder; framtida hydrologiska projektioner; statistisk analys; framtida vattenförings analys;

    Abstract : Climate models are essential for generating future climate projections. However, due to simplifications, the models can produce systematic differences between output and reality, which is referred to as model bias. Bias adjustment methods aim to reduce this error, which is important for making future projections more reliable. READ MORE
