  1. 1. Reviving Skellefteå

    University essay from KTH/Stadsbyggnad

    Author : Lubna Boltakke; [2021]
    Keywords : Riverpark; Skellefteå; 2050; co-working; canal; water treatment; business park;

    Abstract : The changes that we are seeing and anticipating are largely due to human behaviour. Arctic sea ice is at the lowest levels ever recorded. The volume of Arctic ice has decreased dramatically over the past decade. . READ MORE

  3. 2. Declining abundance and shifting distribution for Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, in the western Antarctic Peninsula

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Kerstin Holmström; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. READ MORE

  4. 3. Icelandic Glacial Ice Volume Changes and its Contribution to Sea Level Rise since the Little Ice Age Maximum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Stephanie Fish; [2016]
    Keywords : Iceland; Little Ice Age; sea level rise; volume-area scaling; glaciers; climate change; Island; Lilla istiden; havsnivåhöjning; volym-area skalning; glaciärer; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Satellite imagery and volume-area scaling are used to asses the glacier area and ice volume of Iceland from the Little Ice Age maximum to present day, obtaining a final result in sea level rise between 1890 - 2015. The Little Ice Age was a time of regional cooling, with glaciers reaching their maximum extent (~1890 for Iceland) with warming and glacier retreat after this period ended. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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. 5. Variability of Sea Ice Extent Along The East Coast of Greenland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Isabella Grönfeldt; [2013]
    Keywords : Sea ice; East coast of Greenland; Fram Strait; Northern Hemisphere; Remote sensing; Ice charts; Pressure difference; Physics and Astronomy; Science General;

    Abstract : There has been a decrease in sea ice extent and volume in the polar regions during the past decades; this study focuses on the Northern Hemisphere. The variability of the sea ice extent along the east coast of Greenland is examined and the area is divided into three regional zones to be able to study variations in the correlation strength along the coast.
