  1. 6. Modelling the effects of climate change on ice dynamics at Kangerlussuaq Glacier, Greenland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Jamie Barnett; [2021]
    Keywords : Glacier; Greenland; Ice Sheet; Outlet; Discharge; Sea level; Kangerlussuaq; calving; ice mélange; melt; retreat;

    Abstract : A consequence of climate change is rising global sea levels, predicted to bring increased socio-economic and environmental impacts to coastal communities. The Greenland Ice Sheet has become a prominent contributor to rising sea levels, a consequence of the Arctic warming at twice the rate of the global average. READ MORE

  3. 7. Spatial Variability in Winter Balance on Storglaciären Modelled With a Coupled Terrain Based Approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Yoram Terleth; [2021]
    Keywords : mass balance; accumulation; snow transport; snow drift; avalanches; glaciology;

    Abstract : Although most processes governing the surface mass balance on mountain glaciers are well understood, the causes and extent of spatial variability in accumulation remain poorly constrained. In the present study, the EBFM distributed mass balance model is newly coupled to terrain based modelling routines estimating mass redistribution by snowdrift, preferential deposition, and avalanching (ST-EBFM) in order to model winter balance on Storglaciären, Sweden.

  4. 8. DEVELOPMENT OF RISK INFORMED METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RADIATION RELEASE FROM CABLE FIRES AT HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FACILITIES

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Daniel Funk; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; CERN; Fire-induced Radiological release; particle accelerator; Fire Protection; Fire Risk Analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. READ MORE

  5. 9. Practical implementation of Bio-CCS in Uppsala : A techno-economic assessment

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Robert Djurberg; [2020]
    Keywords : BECCS; Bio-CCS; CCS; techno-economic assessment; BECCS; Bio-CCS; CCS; teknoekonomisk analys;

    Abstract : To decrease global warming, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) has been proposed as an effective and necessary tool. Combusting biomass and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the same process results in net negative emissions, hence, reducing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. READ MORE

  6. 10. The spatial variability of salinity and water flux estimates in Gialova Lagoon, Greece

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Kim Lundmark; [2018]
    Keywords : Coastal Lagoon; Gialova Lagoon; Water quality; Hydrological Modelling; Salinity; Water flux; Mass balance;

    Abstract : Lagoons are coastal waterbodies which are sensitive to meteorological and hydrological changes. This study focused on the spatial distribution of salinity in Gialova lagoon, Greece. The area in which the lagoon is located is under pressure from agriculture and truism in the area. READ MORE
