(2019-10-30)The mean sea level is expected to increase globally, with local variations, due to climate change and according to IPCC´s scenario RCP 8,5 this will mean an increase of 0,7 meter in Gothenburg, with the isostasy included. ... -
Palsar i Vissátvuopmi: Kartering och klassificering utifrån DEM-raster
(2020-07-08)Palsar är torvkullar med en kärna av permafrost som förekommer i subarktiska miljöer med diskontinuerlig permafrost. Palsarna är mycket känsliga för klimatförändringar och har minskat snabbt till följd av den globala ... -
Palsdegradering i Arbuvuopmi mellan 1959 - 2016 - Inverkan av meteorologiska drivkrafter
(2021-11-18)En pals är en känslig klimatmätare som består av både torv och permafrost. Palsar förekommer främst inom regioner med sporadisk permafrost. I dagsläget degraderas palsarna i stor omfattning och är således inte stabila. ... -
"Parker är för sommarväder" En fallstudie om tillgänglighet i grönområden och parker vid dåligt väder
(2019-10-30)In the City of Gothenburg, there is a constant development of the city's space and landscape in order to create the best environment for the population and its visitors. Gothenburg's goal is to develop a city that increases ... -
Pedestrian movement and exposure to heat stress in Gothenburg, Sweden
(2023-06-22)An area in Gothenburg, Sweden, representing various planning designs and microclimates, were investigated, in order to estimate how the study area manifests potential pedestrian movement patterns and urban climate ... -
Perception of urban blue-green infrastructure during winter in Gothenburg
(2023-08-17)Life in urban settlements is often associated with insufficient physical activity and continuous stress. By implementing blue-green infrastructure (BGI) consisting of parks, trees, ponds, and rain gardens, amongst others, ... -
Physical changes in an Arctic lanscape A multi-decadal case study over Hanaskogdalen, Svalbard, Norway using remote sensing
(2022-07-05)Local climate change impacts in Arctic regions are of interest for people living in the area, as well as on a global scale to broaden the understanding on how Arctic landscapes are evolving in relation to the Earth's ... -
Planetary Boundary Layer Height Variations Over the Tibetan Plateau in Relation to Local Climate Variables and Large-Scale Circulation
(2020-09-09)The lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, the planetary boundary layer (PBL), may reach extremely high above the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Moreover, the TP is a hotspot region for climate interactions, exerting far-reaching ... -
Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat
(2023-08-17)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 ... -
POSSIBLE TIMING OF THE TRANSITION FROM PRE-INDUSTRIAL TO INDUSTRIAL CLIMATE IN THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN OF SWEDEN, BASED ON PROXY DATA FROM TREE-RINGS
(2022-09-28)Earth’s climate has varied through time, with orbital forcing as the most dominant force on the climate system the last million years, causing glacial-interglacial cycles. The last glacial period ended about 11.6 thousand ... -
Potassium-, Uranium- and Thorium-concentrations in bedrock. A study of the Sahlgrenska Anomaly and Änggårdsbergen, Gothenburg
(2019-10-30)This study investigates the RA-granite (also known as Kärra Granite), which form a northsouth trending intrusive body traversing Gothenburg. The spatial distribution of the radioactive elements K, U and Th in RA-granite ... -
Potential glacial landforms in Nilosyrtis Mensae, Mars - A qualitative geomorphological mapping and interpretation of an inpact crater
(2023-08-18)The surface of Mars is composed of a variety of geological formations, including mountains, volcanos, canyons, and plains. Studies of regions at mid-latitudes of the northern dichotomy boundary of Mars have demonstrated ... -
The potential of using Pinus sylvestris L. from the High Coast region as a climate proxy for studying hydroclimatic variability
(2023-08-21)It is of importance to get more detailed information on past spatio-temporal hydroclimatic changes in northern latitudes to understand the hydroclimatic regimes working there. This can be done by studying proxy data from ... -
Potentiella spridningsvägar för vatten och föroreningar i berg - Hydrogeologisk fallstudie av Åseberget, Kungälv
(2022-06-28)Grundvattnet spelar en stor roll när det handlar om spridning av föroreningar. Genom att få kunskap över grundvattnets flödesriktning, bidrar det till större förståelse för en förorenings utbredning, och på så sätt även ... -
Presence of acid sulfate soils in Väröbacka, southwestern Sweden
(2022-06-28)Acid sulfate soils are a global problem that can have negative environmental effects such as surface-water acidification and leaching of toxic metals. To prevent this, it is important to map and investigate where and how ... -
Primary Drivers of Sea Level Variability in the North – Baltic Sea Transition Using Machine Learning
(2023-01-09)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 ... -
