1. 1. Alternative fuels for Swedish short sea shipping and inland waterways: Techno-economic study

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Julien Maszelin; [2022]
   Keywords : Alternative fuels Comparison Short sea shipping Inland waterways Sweden Biofuels Fischer-Tropsch Methanol Hydrogen Ammonia Fossil fuels Sustainable transportation;

   Abstract : Climate change is raising huge challenges for all industries worldwide. It is mainly due to anthropogenic activity and energy consumption which is the cause for emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) among other environmental impacts and is expected to have huge impact on our societies globally.

3. 2. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard

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

   Author : Dhruv Maniktala; [2022]
   Keywords : snow cover; snow disappearance; snow onset; snow-free duration; CARRA; Svalbard;

   Abstract : Rapid warming in the Arctic is highly impacting the cryosphere in the region, causing melting of the sea ice, retreat of glaciers and reduction in the snow cover. If suffering further temperature increase, the albedo of the region would reduce due to higher absorption of the solar radiation in snow-free areas. READ MORE

4. 3. Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Marwa al Kabban; [2019]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; GIS; Sea Level Rise; Vulnerability Assessment; Modelling Sea Level Rise; Impacts Assessment of Sea Level Rise; GIS application in Sea Level Rise; Disaster Risk Reduction DRR ; Government Information Sharing GIS ; ArcGIS Web App Builder Dashboard; Sea Level Rise Story Map; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. READ MORE

5. 4. Wind impact on sea ice motion in the Arctic

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

   Author : Klara Matsson; [2016]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In order to examine how the wind at 10 m above the surface influences the sea ice motion in the Arctic Ocean, a correlation coefficient between wind and ice drift, an angle between wind direction and ice velocity and a reduction factor of the ice speed relative to the wind speed were calculated, using statistical methods. This was done on a 10 km by 10 km grid, for both winter, January to March, and summer, July to September, with data from 2014 and 2015. READ MORE

6. 5. 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
