(2022-12-21)The Haga Företagscenter site in Anderstorp, Sweden has a long industrial history, which include the extensive use of chlorinated solvents. Trichloroethene (TCE) was used in large quantities here but the release to the ... -
Heat Stress at Playgrounds A case Study in Gothenburg, Sweden
(2023-08-17)The climate will change in the future as it will become warmer with higher temperatures generating extreme weather events such as heat waves. Children are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to being exposed ... -
Heat stress at preschool yards. A mixed-method geographical study in Gothenburg, Sweden.
(2019-10-30)As climate change is predicted to generate higher temperature and more frequent heat waves and extreme temperature events in Sweden, issues related to heat will be more accentuated in the future. Children are both ... -
How fast does the bathymetry change on the Swedish west coast? Modeling how fast the bathymetry change, to know where to prioritize new hydrographic surveys
(2022-06-28)The Swedish Maritime Administration is responsible for the passability and availability of vessels on the Swedish coast. They are doing hydrographical surveys to ensure the safety of the maritime transportation corridors ... -
Hydrological catchment analysis from characterisation of organic matter in stream water
(2020-02-05)Organic matter (OM) in aquatic systems is a complex field which have rapidly developed during the last decade due to the introduction of high resolution mass spectrometers. The composition of OM in the aquatic environment ... -
Hyperspectral and multispectral satellite data analysis of nitrogen in grazed and ungrazed tundra in Långfjället, Sweden
(2023-08-18)Reindeer are a keystone species in the circumpolar north, where they hold great cultural and ecological importance. Continued climate change threatens the long-term sustainability of reindeer husbandry. Reindeer can ... -
If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History
(2023-08-17)Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. ... -
The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa
(2023-08-17)The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is ... -
Infiltration, hydrogeology, and heterogeneity - Management of pressure and flow: A case study for the Varberg tunnel project
(2020-07-08)This thesis aims to describe a conceptual model of the sedimentology for Swedish (or nordic) conditions of heterogeneous aquifers but focus is on a case study in Varberg. This to facilitate the identification of main ... -
Investigating flood risk cost in Kungsbacka using the ICPR FloRiAn GIS-tool
(2019-10-25)Losses from floods have increased in recent years, worldwide and in Sweden. Understanding the economic and non-monetary cost of being exposed to flood hazard is important from a spatial planning perspective, particularly ... -
An investigation of the 3-30-300 rule in a Swedish context
(2023-06-22)More than half of the world’s population lives in cities and climate change is already an increasing problem in many cities. Climate smart planning is therefore of extra importance and vegetation is considered the single ... -
Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden
(2023-08-18)Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also ... -
Loess in southwestern Sweden. Determining the genesis of the silt-rich layer rödfemman in Svartedalen nature reserve
(2021-10-28)The presence of loess in Sweden is relatively unexplored and has only been found in a few places. Loess acts as a paleoclimatic proxy, which in times of changing climates, is highly relevant. In 1992, Svensson wrote a ... -
LÖDÖSEHUS: GEOPHYSICAL METHODS FOR DESCRIBING ARCHAEOLOGY AND NEAR-SURFACE GEOLOGY AT THE SITE OF A MEDIEVAL CASTLE IN LÖDÖSE, SW SWEDEN
(2021-09-21)Near-surface geophysics is a well established method for mapping the geological conditions in the subsurface. The use of geophysics is also a commonly used method in archaeological surveys, although traditionally not as ... -
Managing Domestic Wells in Sweden. Investigating the role of domestic wells in ensuring a reliable drinking water supply and assessing their vulnerability to climate change
(2023-08-28)Domestic wells provide drinking water for a significant proportion of the population in Sweden, especially in rural areas where public water supplies are not available (Drage, 2022; Hjerne et al., 2021). Domestic wells ... -
