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)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.

2. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : 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

3. Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : 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

4. Wind impact on sea ice motion in the Arctic
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/FörbränningsfysikAbstract : 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

5. Variability in modelled Arctic Sea-Ice Volume
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/KärnfysikAbstract : 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
