    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : David Ebert; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

  5. 19. Modelling the risk of rainfall events leading to momentary pollution levels exceeding maximum allowed concentrations - A Swedish case study of urban runoff in the Fyris river

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Keywords : urban runoff; flow; rain event; pollution concentration; EQS; MAC-EQS; dagvatten; flöde; regntillfälle; föroreningskoncentration; MKN; MAC-MKN;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was (1) to study the proportion (X) of the flow in a watercourse that consists of urban runoff during a rain event and (2) to evaluate the risk that a few chosen pollutants, transported by urban runoff, exceed the maximum allowed concentration in the watercourse according to the environmental quality standards (MAC-EQS). The Fyris river in Uppsala, Sweden, was selected as a case study. READ MORE
