  1. 11. Black Carbons Effects on Climate : Can We Even Say Something about Them?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Nygren Anton; [2016]
    Keywords : Black carbon; climate; China; Arctic; Sot; klimat; Kina; Arktis;

    Abstract : Black carbon affects the atmosphere, clouds, and the albedo of snow. These effects of black carbon are a fact but exactly what they entail is not well known. READ MORE

  3. 12. CLIMATE PERFORMANCE OF BIOFUELS : PRODUCED FROM FOREST RESIDUE HARVESTED IN SWEDEN

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Elin Hellmér; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Biofuels produced from forest residues are much discussed in a Swedish context, among other things due to concerns for climate change. However, the undertaking of climate performance calculations is not an exact science. READ MORE

  4. 13. Impacts of Climate Change on Abies spectabilis : an approach integrating a Species Distribution Model (MaxEnt) and a Dynamic Vegetation Model (LPJ-GUESS)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Mohan Dev Joshi; [2015]
    Keywords : MaxEnt; Manaslu conservation area; GEM; Abies spectabilis; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; climate change; LPJ-GUESS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Recent global warming trends, particularly in the arctic regions and Himalayas are modifying forest structure and function, notably biogeographical changes in tree species distribution together with alteration in Net Primary Production (NPP), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Carbon biomass. These alterations are most pronounced in mountain environments, carrying significant impacts on woody species which are more sensitive to temperature changes. READ MORE

  5. 14. Variability in modelled Arctic Sea-Ice Volume

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Hanna Axén; [2014]
    Keywords : sea ice; sea ice volume; Arctic; CMIP5; PIOMAS; climate change; Physics and Astronomy; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the Arctic sea ice volume and thickness evolution over the time period 1850-2100 is analysed. The analysed data is provided by the CMIP5 climate models, which contributed their output for the IPCC Fifth Assessment. The results were compared to the reanalysis data series PIOMAS. READ MORE

  6. 15. Anthropogenic influence on new particle formation in the marine boundary layer atmosphere

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Vilhelm Berg Malmborg; [2014]
    Keywords : Climate change; Aerosols; Physics; Modelling; New particle formation; NPF; NanoMap; ADCHEM; Shipping emissions; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The most important parameter for estimates of the anthropogenic induced climate change is the radiative forcing. In a comparison of the earth’s radiative budget in the year 2011 relative to 1750, the intergovernmental panel on climate change concludes that the largest uncertainty in the total radiative forcing derives from aerosol particles and their ability to modify cloud properties as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).
