  1. 1. Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Linn Carlstedt; [2023-05-10]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh water into the oceans due to melting of the Earth’s land ice together with thermosteric changes has led to a rise of the global mean sea level with an accelerating rate during the twentieth century.

  3. 2. Primary Drivers of Sea Level Variability in the North – Baltic Sea Transition Using Machine Learning

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : David Ek; [2023-01-09]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Global mean sea level is rising, however not uniformly. Regional deviations of sea surface height (SSH) are common due to local drivers, including surface winds, ocean density stratifications, vertical land- & crustal movements and more. READ MORE

  4. 3. Co-occurring Cold Extremes in North America and Unusually Warm Weather in Europe

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Petros Stergiou; [2023]
    Keywords : Extreme temperature events co-occurrence; cold spells; warm extremes; Europe; North America; Pan-Atlantic atmospheric teleconnections; Samtidiga extrema temperaturhändelser; kalla extrema; varma extrema; Europa; Nordamerika; Pan-Atlantiska atmosfäriska telekopplingar;

    Abstract : In this project, we identified and examined the 50 coldest extreme temperature eventsin North America (CENA) and the 50 warmest extreme temperature events insouthwestern Europe (WEEU) during the winter seasons from 1948 to 2023. For theanalysis, we utilized daily NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data for temperature, sea levelpressure (SLP), and 500hPa geopotential height (Z500). READ MORE

  5. 4. Determination of semi-aerobic landfill suitability in tropical developing countries using land surface temperature : A case study of an unmanaged open dump in transition in Yangon City region, Myanmar

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggande

    Author : Václav Pánek; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Population growth rate increases rapidly, which reflects on Municipal Solid Waste(MSW) generation rates and the accumulation in unmanaged open dumps and landfills in developing countries. Consequences of improper MSW management and treatment are not only local or regional but global since Methane (CH4) emissions are responsible for a notable part of the total anthropogenic CH4 emissions.

  6. 5. Trip redistribution and calibration of the mode choice model of Catalunya

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Julien Rigaut; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the creation and calibration of a mode choice model for Catalunya. Trip redistribution was performed as the data from light rail trips displayed the number of trips made between stations and not between the actual origin and destination of the trip maker. READ MORE
