Observed & modelled nocturnal air temperature variations within an urban setting in Gothenburg. - and analysis of air temperature modelling with The Air Pollution Model (TAPM)
(2024-08-08)Climate change is one of the most pressing concerns of the present day with numerous consequences arising from it, one of the most notably is rising air temperatures. An increasing urbanization and population growth in ... -
Incorrect disposal of household hazardous waste. A comparison across socio-economically differentiated areas in Gothenburg
(2024-08-05)One essential part when creating sustainable cities is having a functioning waste management system. In Sweden, the household waste system relies on residents to dispose of their waste correctly. A common problem is that ... -
Combining in situ measurements of methane fluxes and multi-temporal UAV LiDAR on a degrading palsa
(2024-08-05)Palsa mires are elevated mounds of peat with a permanently frozen core found in areas of discontinuous permafrost. Peatlands in the subarctic, which is where these landforms are located, hold more than 30 % of the stored ... -
Cyclists’ exposure to air and noise pollution within Gothenburg and Mölndal.
(2024-07-04)Travel-related exposure to the surrounding environment remains relatively unknown. Exposure to air and noise pollution are common when cycling within the city, which becomes essential to study as unhealthy concentration ... -
LATERAL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DYNAMICS OF BOREAL PEATLANDS IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN: A Study of Mycklemossen Mire
(2024-07-04)Peatlands are important ecosystems that play a crucial role in global carbon cycling, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. Investigating the lateral physical and chemical properties of mires, such as changes ... -
Urban Tree Mapping using airborne LiDAR: Analysing vegetation changes between 2010, 2017, and 2022 A Gothenburg case study
(2024-06-25)In the years ahead, the escalation of global climate change underscores the crucial need for greater understanding and initiative-taking measures to address its far-reaching effects. In urban settings, climate change is ... -
WESTERLY JET AND ITS EFFECTS ON PRECIPITATION IN THE THIRD POLE
(2024-06-25)This study explores the upper troposphere and monsoon-influenced climate dynamics of the Tibetan plateau (TP) and its surrounding regions in East Asia, also known as the Third Pole, for the summer season (JJA) and the ... -
Heavy and extreme precipitation events in the Sichuan Basin during the 2020 summer season in a set of kilometre-scale simulations
(2024-06-20)The Sichuan Basin (SB), a lowland region in southwest China located at the eastern slope of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), regularly experiences heavy and extreme precipitation events. These extreme events often lead to ... -
Accessing nature – a study on objective and individually perceived accessibility to parks in Gothenburg, Sweden
(2024-06-19)The objective of this thesis was to evaluate both calculated and individually perceived accessibility to two parks and an outdoor recreation area in the Gothenburg metropolitan area. This was achieved by employing service ... -
POSSIBLE HYDROLOGICAL ACTIVITY IN A LARGE IMPACT CRATER IN NILOSYRTIS MENSAE, MARS. A geomorphological and chronostratigraphical analysis.
(2024-06-19)The arid and freezing landscapes of planet Mars cannot sustain liquid water during its present conditions. However, geomorphological and geochemical evidence suggest a ‘wetter and warmer’ climate in the early history of ... -
DISTRIBUTION, MORPHOMETRY AND GENESIS OF DRUMLINS AND STREAMLINED TILL PATCHES IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN
(2024-06-14)Research on streamlined landforms offers valuable insights into the evolution of glaciated landscapes and the characteristics of the ice sheets responsible for their formation. Despite the significance of these bedforms, ... -
