  1. 1. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Francesco Saretto; [2024]
    Keywords : Barley; Rainfed; Climate Change; AquaCrop; AquaCrop-OSPy; Mediterranean; Climate Change Adaptation; Crop Modeling; Agriculture; Irrigation;

    Abstract : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. READ MORE

  3. 2. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Grace Muir; [2023]
    Keywords : Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

    Abstract : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. READ MORE

  4. 3. Linking the selectivity of varying surface phases of a real palladium catalyst toward specific methane oxidation pathways with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

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

    Author : Ulrike Küst; [2023]
    Keywords : APXPS; catalysis; palladium; methane; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The study of heterogeneous catalysis, especially within methane oxidation, is of high importance in order to more efficiently remove unburned methane from bio-fuel exhausts. This is relevant as bio-fuel engines will replace those driven by fossil fuels in the coming decades. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Andréasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem science; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2; Albedo; Agriculture; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Pilot scale partial denitratation coupled anammox: an evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Tobias Ellingsen; [2022]
    Keywords : mainstream anammox; partial denitratation anammox; partial denitrification anammox; PDA; nitrite inhibition; anammox; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : På avloppsreningsverk (ARV) som tillämpar kväverening är den vanligaste tekniken nitrifikation följt av denitrifikation. Denna process kräver omfattande luftning, vilket både är elintensivt och minskar mängden biogas som kan utvinnas. READ MORE
