  1. 1. Climate, Irrigation, and GHGs : a Regional Analysis of EU Arable Land Values

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Filip Markovic; [2024]
    Keywords : air pollution; climate change; EU; global warming; irrigation; land value;

    Abstract : This master's thesis explores the influence of climate conditions on EU arable land values, pioneering a novel approach that blends the Ricardian Approach models within an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) framework. By employing this methodology at the regional level of NUTS2, the study offers insights into the interplay between climate and land value. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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
