  1. 21. Climate Impact Modeling of Hydrological Inflow into the Swedish Power Market

    University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

    Author : Jonathan Ridenour; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hydrological inflow, in the form of rainfall and snowmelt, has a great impact on electricity prices in hydro-dominated energy markets such as that of Sweden. As power market participants prepare to meet the challenges of a range of climate change scenarios, such as a two-degree rise in mean global temperature, information about changing inflow patterns is increasingly important.

  3. 22. Changes in Surface Mass Balance on the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Linnéa Midefelt; [2016]
    Keywords : Surface mass balance; Devon Ice Cap; Canadian Arctic; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate change is an ongoing process that contributes to changes in the climate on a global scale down to a local scale. The Arctic sea ice and the glaciers have continued to decrease at the same time as the rate of sea level rise has increased. READ MORE

  4. 23. Topografins inverkan på markvattenhalten i ett jordbruksdominerat avrinningsområde

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Olof Haraldsson; [2015]
    Keywords : topografi; jordbrukslandskap; markvattenhalt; dränering; avrinningsområde;

    Abstract : Topography is an important parameter for catchment hydrology, since it is a driver for water flow. Moreover, topography serves as a basis for hydrological models, e.g. ‘Top-model’, which is based on a topographical wetness index (TWI). READ MORE

  5. 24. Analysis of NDVI variation and snowmelt around Zackenberg station, Greenland with comparison of ground data and remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Georgios Konstantinos Lagkas; [2015]
    Keywords : active layer; snow; growing period; NDVI; Zackenberg; Greenland; geography; physical geography; statistical analysis; regression analysis; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Snow and permafrost are significant climatic factors affecting the climate in high latitudes and especially in arctic regions. Moreover, results of conducted scientific studies have shown that snow is crucial for photosynthetic activity and therefore vegetation vigor and growing season in arctic environments. READ MORE

  6. 25. Land- atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide in a high Arctic fen : importance of wintertime fluxes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Anna Lindstein; [2015]
    Keywords : geography; physical geography; ecosystem analysis; NEE; eddy covariance; Arctic; CO2; wintertime flux; Zackenberg; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Global warming is predicted to have a major impact on the ecosystems over the polar latitudes including the Arctic region which is thought to be especially sensitive to changes in climate. So far, the research studying greenhouse gases in the Arctic has primarily been focused on the short and intense growing season when carbon flux is mostly driven by plants and soil microorganisms.
