  1. 1. Hur kan dammar påverka den urbana biologiska mångfalden?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Saga Forsberg; [2024]
    Keywords : biologisk mångfald; biodiversitet; öppna vatten; dagvattenlösning; urban; ekosystem; ekosystemtjänster; grön-blå infrastruktur; arter; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Denna litteraturstudie sammanställer forskningsresultat från andra studier. Det finns många faktorer som påverkar urban biologisk mångfald, som exempelvis vattenföroreningar, övergödning, urban heat island effekten, förekomsten av invasiva arter, angränsande landskapstyp, val av skötsel och utformning av dammen.

  3. 2. Exploring Urban Land Cover Changes and the Effect on Nocturnal Air Temperature Dynamics in Helsingborg - A temperature modeling made with TAPM

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Bäck; [2023-10-09]
    Keywords : Nocturnal Air Temperature; Intra-Urban Heat Island; Land Cover Classification; Deep learning; The Air Pollution Model TAPM ; Land Cover Change;

    Abstract : In light of increasing global temperatures, urban areas face growing challenges related to heat stress. Alterations in land cover (LC) within cities contribute to changes in the intra-urban climate, predominantly driven by the replacement of vegetated surfaces with impermeable materials. READ MORE

  4. 3. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sandra Lujic; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : Older adults; urban outdoor environments; behaviour; preferences; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Uncertainties in characterising historical heatwaves in Europe

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Simon Abrahamsson; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Heatwaves are periods of excessively hot weather which can pose a threat to both the people and the agriculture affected by them, for this reason it is important for us to understand and be able to predict heatwaves. This study will therefore investigate historical heatwaves in Europe and compare the quality of different 2m surface temperature datasets and examine the possibility of using 3D temperature data to identify heatwaves.

  6. 5. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Rebecca Johansson; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : climate adaptation; heat mitigation; heat stress; urban planning;

    Abstract : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. READ MORE
