  1. 1. Population dynamics of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in forest conservation areas and the interaction with biodiversity and natural enemies

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Evelina Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : spruce bark beetle; population dynamics; conservation areas; biodiversity; natural enemies; species richness; managed forests; woodland key-habitats; nature reserves;

    Abstract : Biodiversity is rapidly decreasing and in need of more conservation efforts. However, the tree-killing European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.), has made forest conservation controversial by affecting conservation areas and possibly adjoining managed forests, yet is still a keystone species leaving decaying wood promoting biodiversity.

  3. 2. Vulnerable Populations and Urban Heat Islands: A Spatial Analysis of Socio-Demographic Factors and Heat Exposure in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : William Godée; Hugo Lemna; [2023]
    Keywords : UHI; Urban Heat Islands; Stockholm; Spatial Analysis; GIS; ArcGIS; Regression; Vulnerable Population; Urbana Värmeöar; Stockholm; Rumslig Analys; GIS; ArcGIS; Regression; Sårbar Population;

    Abstract : The important urban issue of urban heat islands in Stockholm is examined in this thesis. These places influence urban sustainability, liveability, and public health because of the much higher temperatures they experience relative to their surroundings. READ MORE

  4. 3. Determination of semi-aerobic landfill suitability in tropical developing countries using land surface temperature : A case study of an unmanaged open dump in transition in Yangon City region, Myanmar

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggande

    Author : Václav Pánek; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Population growth rate increases rapidly, which reflects on Municipal Solid Waste(MSW) generation rates and the accumulation in unmanaged open dumps and landfills in developing countries. Consequences of improper MSW management and treatment are not only local or regional but global since Methane (CH4) emissions are responsible for a notable part of the total anthropogenic CH4 emissions.

  5. 4. Examining the protective services of mangroves at a regional scale in Indonesia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Mikaela Gomez; [2022]
    Keywords : Mangroves; Nature-Based Solutions; Disaster Risk Reduction; Exposure; GIS; Remote Sensing; Science General;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.

    Author : Eric Kaoukji; [2022]
    Keywords : Night-time lights Remote sensing Uganda Development economics Python Linear regression Satellite imagery; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : A large amount of economic research is reliant upon census, survey, or national accounts as a source of data. For many developing nations, the quality of this data is widely recognised to be unreliable and is rarely available at the sub-national level. READ MORE
