  1. 1. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; FLUXNET; Gross Primary Productivity; Ecosystem Respiration; Permafrost; Active Layer Thickness; Snow Depth; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

  3. 2. Climate effects of managed boreal forests : combining effects from carbon balance and albedo

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Anna Valeria Requardt; [2023]
    Keywords : Remotely Sensed Albedo; Age-Albedo pattern; C-flux Radiative Forcing; Boreal Forests Climate Effect;

    Abstract : Boreal forests are considered as a global carbon (C) sink and are utilized for climate-change mitigation. Judging the climate impact of a forest solely on its C balance might leave an incomplete picture, since forest-climate feedbacks are also caused by various other biophysical and biogeochemical processes, e.g., albedo effects.

  4. 3. Evaluating DInSAR for measuring seasonal elevation dynamics at the Vissátvuopmi palsa mire complex in Northern Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : André Farjami; [2022-09-09]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During recent years the palsa mires of Fennoscandia have reported to be undergoing extensive lateral degradation, and in a warming environment the palsa mires of Sweden among others are threatened to thaw completely by the end of this century. Since subarctic peatlands account for 30% of the global soil organic carbon storage, small degradation changes in these areas globally, can potentially change the greenhouse gas emissions on a worldwide scale.

  5. 4. Long-term population dynamics in a population of grass snakes (Natrix natrix) : and implications of climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Ludvig Palmheden; [2022]
    Keywords : body condition; hibernaculum; long-term data; mark-recapture; population size;

    Abstract : The impact of climate change on reptile populations is poorly studied, and this includes snakes, which are elusive by nature, making it problematic to preform long-term population studies. Here we have done both. READ MORE

  6. 5. Spillway flow behaviours with and without aeration

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Noel Köhler; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Aeration; Computional Fluid Dynamics CFD ; Spillway; Subpressure; Black Water; Spreading;

    Abstract : Cavitation has been known for a long time to cause damages in spillways athydropower plants, aerators are therefore often implemented to prevent this.The majority of the hydropower plants in Sweden are installed in the northernpart of the country. READ MORE
