  1. 1. Långsiktig torvnedbrytning för olika vegetationstyper på dikad skogsmark

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Carl Carlsson; Sofie Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : växthusgaser; torvmark; dikning;

    Abstract : Skogsklädda torvmarker i Sverige dikades i stor utsträckning mellan 1930- och 1980-talen i syfte att höja virkesproduktionen. Till följd av klimatproblemet har intresset för dikade torvmarkers bidrag till växthusgasutsläppen ökat under de senaste decennierna. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ecosystem Employment in Jakarta, Indonesia - Ecological Applications in Urban Design

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Holley Nicole Stringham; [2023]
    Keywords : ecosystem services; ecology; urban design; disaster management; climate change; urban resiliency; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : Nature has a special knack for survival. After millennia of beating the odds against an inhospitable planet, many species have found clever ways to ensure self-preservation on an often inhospitable planet. By refining special skills and working alongside other members of the ecosystem, countless species have found a stable role in the landscape. READ MORE

  4. 3. Learning From Practice : Exploring the Relationship Between Land Subsidence, Climate Change and Flood Risk in Swedish Municipal Level Strategic Planning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema teknik och social förändring

    Author : Charlotte Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate Adaptation; Flood risk; Land subsidence; Municipal planning; Strategic planning theory; Evidence-Based; Urban planning; Geotechnology; Risk Management;

    Abstract : Land subsidence is in international academic literature recognised as a significant problem for urban environments. The phenomenon can cause severe damage to infrastructure and buildings resulting in expensive repairs or permanent damage to the ground’s conditions and services. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mapping future floods in coastal Bangladesh - Impacts of projected changes in sea level and precipitation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Agnes Pierre; [2022]
    Keywords : flood modelling; TFM-DYN; sea level rise; land subsidence; extreme precipitation; tidal flooding; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future.

  6. 5. Estimating active layer thickness at the high Arctic study site Zackenberg from remotely sensed ground subsidence

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lotte Wendt; [2021]
    Keywords : active layer thickness; DInSAR; subsidence; permafrost; Zackenberg; CALM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The active layer thickness (ALT) is an indicator of permafrost thaw, which potentially leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases under global warming, and thus could further amplify climate change. The thaw depth of the active layer also governs seasonal surface deformation, caused by the volume change between ice to water, which poses risks for slope stability and infrastructure foundations.
