1. 16. Coastal Response to Sea Level Rise in Ystad Municipality

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Elin Olsson; Sara Engström; [2021]
   Keywords : coastal erosion; Bruun Rule; sea level rise; coastal management; beach morphology; coastal processes; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. READ MORE

3. 17. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.

4. 18. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

5. 19. Modelling the effects of climate change on ice dynamics at Kangerlussuaq Glacier, Greenland

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Jamie Barnett; [2021]
   Keywords : Glacier; Greenland; Ice Sheet; Outlet; Discharge; Sea level; Kangerlussuaq; calving; ice mélange; melt; retreat;

   Abstract : A consequence of climate change is rising global sea levels, predicted to bring increased socio-economic and environmental impacts to coastal communities. The Greenland Ice Sheet has become a prominent contributor to rising sea levels, a consequence of the Arctic warming at twice the rate of the global average. READ MORE

6. 20. Beyond survival: Building resilient communities through co-creation for the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh

   University essay from KTH/Stadsbyggnad

   Author : Lamia Ahmed; Mariia Smoliakova; [2021]
   Keywords : Refugees; Bangladesh; co-creation; climate change; temporality;
