  1. 1. Satellite signal attenuation due to atmospheric influences in northern Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Adrian Stigsson; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Earth-space traversing electromagnetic waves become attenuated as they propagate through the atmosphere. The sources of attenuation are weather phenomena in the Troposphere, and scintillation and absorption in the Ionosphere. READ MORE

  3. 2. Staying Afloat - Examining the Resilience of the European Inland Waterway Transportation Industry in the Face of Climate Related Disruptions: A Policy and Resilience Analysis

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Linnea Ahlgren; Hibaakh Jamac; [2023-07-03]
    Keywords : Climate Change; Inland Waterway Transportation; Inland Barge Companies; Inland Ports; Policies and Initiatives; Adaptation; Extreme Weather;

    Abstract : Due to its lower emissions in comparison to other modes of transport, inland waterway transportation (IWT) has been increasingly considered a sustainable option by the European Union (EU), prompting a focus on transitioning towards it in recent years. However, the impact of climate change has led to a rise in extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, over the past few decades. READ MORE

  4. 3. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Keywords : drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Climate Resilient Development and Disasters : Trend analysis of policy change after milestone events in the period 2000 - 2020

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Hannes Grünfeld; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate resilient development; disaster-reform hypothesis; milestone events; effect lag; trend analysis;

    Abstract : There is a debate within the field of policy studies whether disasters are drivers of policy reforms, as encapsulated by the disaster-reform hypothesis. Since the disaster rate for extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change, it is of high relevance to study if these disasters have any effect on climate polices.
