  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    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. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Keywords : crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Abstract : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Role of Technology Shifts in Urban Decarbonization Modelling : Scenario creation and implementation

    University essay from KTH/Energisystem

    Author : Batiste Fourniols; [2024]
    Keywords : Urban area; Decarbonization policies; Scenario modeling; District heating; Gas distribution network; Geospatial resolution; Stadsområde; utfasning av fossila bränslen; scenariomodellering; fjärrvärme; gasdistributionsnät; geospatial upplösning;

    Abstract : This work includes modelling of decarbonization scenarios at the scale of an urban area, providing policy insights and a methodology focusing on introducing district heating and maintaining the existing gas distribution network in a case study. With a focus on reducing gas consumption in the residential and tertiary sectors, the research integrates scenario developments giving a methodology to develop district heating, requiring a careful balance in selecting the optimal scale for city-wide analysis.

  5. 4. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
    Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development and Implementation of Techniques for the Simulation and Processing for Future SAR Systems

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Tim Kinnunen; [2023]
    Keywords : Synthetic Aperture Radar; SAR; Reverse Backprojection Algorithm; RBPA; Backprojection Algorithm; SAR simulator; SAR processing;

    Abstract : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a type of radar system that can generate high-resolution images with which one can detect subtle changes on the scale of centimetres from space. It can operate in any weather condition and during both day and night, making it unique compared to optical sensors. READ MORE
