  1. 1. Exploring Urban Land Cover Changes and the Effect on Nocturnal Air Temperature Dynamics in Helsingborg - A temperature modeling made with TAPM

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Bäck; [2023-10-09]
    Keywords : Nocturnal Air Temperature; Intra-Urban Heat Island; Land Cover Classification; Deep learning; The Air Pollution Model TAPM ; Land Cover Change;

    Abstract : In light of increasing global temperatures, urban areas face growing challenges related to heat stress. Alterations in land cover (LC) within cities contribute to changes in the intra-urban climate, predominantly driven by the replacement of vegetated surfaces with impermeable materials. READ MORE

  3. 2. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.
