  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. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

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

    Author : Lucian Spitzner; [2023]
    Keywords : astronomy; astrophyics; exoplanets; transmission spectroscopy; magnetic fields; atmospheres; ions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. READ MORE

  4. 3. A revised narrative of the Baltic Sea in Sweden : a phenomenological reflection on the multifaceted human-sea interrelations and communication

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Daniela Kreber; [2021]
    Keywords : The Baltic Sea; marine environment; narratives; phenomenology; human-sea relations; terrestrial bias; more-than-human perspective; ocean literacy; environmental communication;

    Abstract : Far from everyday reality and vast in size, seas and oceans are often subject to overarching narratives obscuring their reality. Natural sciences, technology, and the economic perspective exercise a dominant influence on the problem formulations that both shape our understandings of marine environments and frame marine decision-making processes.

  5. 4. Climate change impact on water balance and export of dissolved organic carbon : a sub-catchment modelling approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stina Sandgren; [2017]
    Keywords : HYPE; hydrological modelling; DOC; climate change; water balance; specific discharge; hydrology; climate scenarios; carbon cycle; mire catchment; forest catchment; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle in the 21st century with implications for the water balance and water quality. As characteristics of the landscape may vary significantly between nearby locations, hydrological models need to be able to delineate responses attributed to specific landscape characteristics, to estimate their responses to altered climatic drivers.

  6. 5. Backpack-based inertial navigation and LiDAR mapping in forest environments

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Tjernqvist Mattias; [2017]
    Keywords : lidar; gnss; ins; mls; forest;

    Abstract : Creating 3D models of our surrounding world has seen a rapid increase in research and development over the last few years. A common method is to use laser scanners. Mapping is done either by ground based systems or airborne systems. READ MORE
