  1. 11. Kan brand minska älgbetesskadorna? : En studie om älgbetesskador på tall

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Paula Israelsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Alces alces; Pinus sylvestris; Älgbetesskador; Skogsbrand; Sverige; Finland; Moose grazing damage; Sweden; Forest fire;

    Abstract : Skogsindustrin är viktig för den svenska handelsbalansen. Sverige är en världsledande exportör av massa, papper och sågade trävaror. Sverige var världens femte största exportör av massa, papper och trävaror, med Finland därefter på en sjätteplats på listan. READ MORE

  3. 12. 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. 13. The Susceptibility of the Circumpolar North to Zombie Wildfire : An Exploratory Case Study of Sweden

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Stephanie Louise Hurst; [2021]
    Keywords : Wildfire; zombie fire; overwintering; holdover; carbon cycle; climate change; Circumpolar North; Sweden; Skogsbrand; zombiebrand; övervintrande; kolcykel; klimatförändring; Cirkumpolär Norr; Sverige;

    Abstract : Climate change is warming the North and exposing its immense carbon stores not only to wildfire disturbances, but overwintering, or zombie, fire. These remnants of summer fires can spend months smouldering under the surface, hidden under the protection of layers of snow, burning through immense amounts of carbon, which is then released into the atmosphere, further exacerbating climate change.

    Keywords : perceptions; “progress”; journalism; Kenya; in-depth interviews; media practitioners; survey; knowledge level; development indicators; knowledge production; epistemology; negative bias; internalized orientalism; post-development; post-colonialism;

    Abstract : This study explores what factors Kenyan journalists perceive influence their assessment of progress in the country and in what ways they believe their world-views impact their reporting. The study also assesses the journalists' awareness and knowledge of national progress achieved in development indicators. READ MORE

  6. 15. Measurement of the snow accumulation in Antarctica with a neutrino radio detector and extension to the measurement of the index-of-refraction profile

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Jakob Beise; [2021]
    Keywords : Askaryan; UHE neutrinos; in-ice radio detection; in-situ detector calibration; deep learning; radio neutrino detector; ARIANNA;

    Abstract : High-energy neutrino physics offers a unique way to investigate the most violent phenomena in our universe. The detection of energies above E > 1017 eV is most efficient using the Askaryan effect, where a neutrino-induced particle shower produces coherent radio emission that is detectable with radio antennas.
