   Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

   Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

3. 2. Temporary Halting of Wind Turbine Rotors toMitigate Effects on Birds

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Ola Hedberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Bird; mitigation; effect; wind farm; turbine; wind power; halting; collision; risk; birds; power; generation;

   Abstract : This study assesses the viability of temporarily halting wind turbine operations as amitigation measure to protect bird populations during migration periods. Conducted in thenorthern Baltic, it examines the migration patterns, timings, and altitudes of various birdspecies, aiming to identify the most critical times for implementing turbine stoppages.

5. 4. MetaStackVis: Visually-Assisted Performance Evaluation of Metamodels in Stacking Ensemble Learning

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

   Author : Ilya Ploshchik; [2023]
   Keywords : Visualization; interaction; metamodels; validation metrics; predicted probabilities; stacking; stacked generalization; ensemble learning; machine learning;

   Abstract : Stacking, also known as stacked generalization, is a method of ensemble learning where multiple base models are trained on the same dataset, and their predictions are used as input for one or more metamodels in an extra layer. This technique can lead to improved performance compared to single layer ensembles, but often requires a time-consuming trial-and-error process. READ MORE

6. 5. Effectiveness of the Costa Rican Payments for Ecosystem Services program in mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: Trends in carbon stocks 2012-2020

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Noelia Solano Guindon; [2023]
   Keywords : Payments for ecosystem services; ecosystem services; carbon stocks; greenhouse gas emissions; mitigation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. READ MORE
