  1. 6. A cross-correlation analysis of a warm super-Neptune using transit spectroscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Elias Önerud; [2023]
    Keywords : Cross-correlation; cross-correlation spectroscopy; cross-correlation analysis; super-Neptune; astronomy; astrophysics; WASP-107; WASP-107 b; CRIRES ; SysRem; exoplanet; transmission spectrum; transit;

    Abstract : A study was made in order to deduce whether certain chemical species, namely water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), are present in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107 b, which lies about 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The project was carried out at Uppsala University at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. READ MORE

  3. 7. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

  4. 8. Sustainable water treatment in the manufacturing industry : Investigation of the water treatment system at VCE, Hallsberg

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Johan Hagströmer; Forsberg Emma; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transitioning to circular flows is essential to economize the planet’s resources. One of the most important resources on earth is water as it is vital for all living things. However, water purification methods have proven to be very energy intensive, and increasing the circular water flows is therefore challenging. READ MORE

  5. 9. Evaluating reliability and limitations of disaster loss accounting databases

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Rebecca Crisanti; [2023]
    Keywords : Database; loss data; extreme event; natural hazards; measuring losses; Latin America; EM‐DAT; DesInventar.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Disaster loss accounting is an essential tool for assessing the effects of disasters and creating policies for disaster risk reduction that are supported by data. This study compares disaster data for two of the most used disaster loss accounting databases, EM-DAT and DesInventar in the context of six Latin American countries, namely, Uruguay, Chile, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Venezuela.

  6. 10. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tómas Halldórsson Alexander; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Soil moisture; Downscaling; Vegetation index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.
