  1. 1. Fractional Habitability comparison of slow rotating Earth-like bodies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Gustaf Gothefors-Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : habitability; General circulation model; climate modelling;

    Abstract : ROCKE-3D is a contemporary Global Circulation Model allowing research into the complex processes behind the climate of planets. Using ROCKE-3D one can construct a model coupling atmosphere, land, and ocean revealing how the climate of a planet evolves over time. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Study of Stochastic Resonance in a Climate model

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Agnes Olsson; Ebba Jernmark Burrows; [2022]
    Keywords : Stochastic Resonance; climate cycle;

    Abstract : Historically, the earth’s fluctuation between interglacial and glacial climates has been observedto have a period of 105 years [1]. However, simulations of the global average temperature didn’tmanage to reproduce this cycle period until 1982, when Benzi et al. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of solar parabolic- trough collectors in small- scale district heating systems

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Alejandro Monterrubio; [2022]
    Keywords : Parabolic-trough collector; direct normal radiation; diffuse radiation; insolation; carbon abatement cost; biomass; District Heating; Levelized cost of energy;

    Abstract : Reducing carbon emissions in our societies requires a massive shift towards renewables. In Sweden, biomass is the dominant source for the district heat production, but growing demand for biomass in other sectors may cause pressure on it. READ MORE

  5. 4. The pathway to outcompete fossilfuels : Solar thermal as an alternative for industrial heating processesin Gujarat, India

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Nordlander Emilie; [2021]
    Keywords : Solar Therma Energy; India; Industrial heating; Absolicon Solar Collector AB;

    Abstract : 2015 the Paris agreement was signed to tackle the climate change and reduce emissions from fossil fuel burning. The industrial and manufacturing sector which alone accounts for 32% of global energy use relies heavily on fossil fuels. Solar thermal energy is a renewable energy source that has potential of replacing large portions of this energy. READ MORE

  6. 5. The role of wood ants (Formica rufa) in the Arctic tundra and how climate change may alter this role

    University essay from

    Author : Michael Meijer; [2020]
    Keywords : Wood ants; ants; mounds; climate change; arctic tundra; ecosystem; ecology; vegetation; arthropods;

    Abstract : In the Arctic tundra, wood ants play an important ecological role in aerating the soil, cycling nutrients, for seed dispersal and, as biological control by preying on forest pest insects during outbreaks. The increase in temperature, caused by climate change, is positively associated with ant abundance. READ MORE
