  1. 6. Potential Carbon Storage and Albedo Change due to Reforestation of Pasture in Scania.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Elin Backström; [2019]
    Keywords : Reforestation; Carbon storage; Albedo; Radiative forcing; Scania; Climate mitigation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Using reforestation for climate change mitigation is complex due to the multiple impacts forest has on climate. This study analyses the effectiveness in using reforestation on pasture in Scania (south Sweden) as a tool for climate mitigation. READ MORE

  3. 7. Climatic effects of changes in radiative forcing due to clear-cutting in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Iris Muzic; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; land-cover change; ICOS; albedo; carbon dioxide; radiative forcing; clear-cutting; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Land cover conversion affects climate by imposing changes in the surface properties and carbon dioxide fluxes. Forest management programs often disregard that modification in surface albedo influences the exchange of energy and climate sensitivity. READ MORE

  4. 8. Charging of aerosol particles - An investigation of the possibility of using Americium-241 for SMPS chargers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Sofie Hansen; [2018]
    Keywords : SMPS; aerosol particles; Americium-241; climate change; particle number size distribution.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is a fact and effects everybody on this planet, whether its humans, plants or animals. There is a comprehensive agreement about the mechanisms on how aerosol particles affect the radiative balance of the earth, but there is a need of more knowledge to fully understand climate change and the strength of the aerosol radiative forcing.

  5. 9. Simulating the Response of the Ocean for a Doubling of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Author : Marcus Lindkvist; [2017]
    Keywords : Ocean; Carbon dioxide; Climate; Atmosphere; Simulation; Box model; Marine;

    Abstract : The uptake of carbon in the ocean may change with global warming, which can have significant feedback effects on the climate. To investigate the change, a two box ocean model has been used to simulate the temperature and carbon content in the atmosphere, in a shallow and deep layer of the ocean, when doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

  6. 10. Greenhouse gas flux at a temperate peatland : a comparison of the eddy covariance method and the flux-gradient method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Kristofer Karlsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; micrometeorology; eddy covariance; flux-gradient method; methane; carbon dioxide; flux; peatland; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Northern peatlands have accumulated carbon for thousands of years and currently hold around one third of all soil carbon on earth. Large uncertainties are associated with predictions of how northern peatlands will react to climate change. READ MORE
