  1. 1. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

    Abstract : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis investigates reasons for significant uncertainties in added wave resistance predictionsand how wave conditions can potentially affect the design of RoPax ferries. The objectiveis to find a suitable prediction method of added wave resistance for the RoPax ferry designapplication. READ MORE

  3. 3. Acoustic Characterization of Catalyst

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Surachit Dokson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The WHO has set a sound level threshold of 55 dB, beyond which noise is considered harmful to humans when exposed for an extended period of time. It is, however, estimated by the European Environmental Agency that over 110 million people in the EU are regularly exposed to levels of traffic noise above 55 dB. READ MORE

  4. 4. Värmereducerande åtgärder för urbana mikroklimat

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

    Author : Alice Ljungdahl; Ida Grundh; [2023]
    Keywords : klimatförändringar; värmeböljor; värmeöar; värmeöeffekt; klimatanpassning; temperaturreglering; värmereducerande åtgärder; värmereducering; mikroklimat; vegetation; skugga;

    Abstract : Det står klart att rådande klimatförändringar har lett och kommer i framtiden att leda till ökade temperaturer samt fler och längre perioder av värmeböljor. Ökade temperaturer i kombination med värmeöeffekter medför att urbana miljöer är särskilt utsatta och människor som väljer att bosätta sig på sådana platser riskerar allvarliga konsekvenser när det gäller hälsa och välbefinnande.

  5. 5. Spatial distribution and thermo-climatic effects on the abundance of non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae in Russia

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik

    Author : Vadim Leonov; [2023]
    Keywords : V. cholerae; spatial analysis; climate change; heat wave; SatScan; vibriosis; Russia;

    Abstract : The identification of climate temperature-sensitive pathogens and infectious diseases is essential in addressing health risks resulting from global warming. Such research is especially crucial in regions where climate change may have a more significant impact like Russia. Recent studies have reasoned that the abundance of V. READ MORE
