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 ... -
Mercury and methyl mercury release in soil and water - their relationship with different properties in Skogaryd
(2020-07-08)In Skogaryd research site, water samples were taken and analysed for total mercury (Hgtot) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentration along with the pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and total organic content (TOC). This to give the ... -
Mesoscale precipitation systems in the Tibetan Plateau region as represented by global reanalysis, regional downscaling and satellite data between 2001 - 2016
(2022-09-01)The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the world’s most important water towers. Convective precipitation systems play an important role by providing freshwater for the highly densely populated downstream regions, but they can ... -
Microstructural evolution of ice under simple shear deformation
(2021-01-11)To investigate microstructure in ice deformed under simple shear conditions experiments were performed with artificial polycrystalline ice and natural ice samples form Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. A new deformation ... -
Microstructures and Compressive Strength of Lake Ice in Sweden A structural Documentation and Compressive Strength Analysis of Lake Ice Cores from Uppsala, using the SonReb Method
(2023-08-18)Lake ice have been utilized by humans through centuries, as transportation routes and recreational activities to name a few (Sharma et al., 2019). Despite our frequent usage of lake ice there is a lack of extensive knowledge ... -
MIGRATION OF FLUID DURING DEFORMATION OF MOLTEN DEUTRATED ICE USING 3D IMAGE ANALYSIS
(2021-09-14)The behaviour of in ltrating and intergranular uid in an ice body is essential in understanding the de ection of the glacier body. The movement of the uid during deformation is most naturally controlled by compressive ... -
Modeling for survey priority and extended CATZOC classifications of Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea
(2022-09-01)Hydrographic measurements and producing of sea charts are a vital part of safe navigations for vessels and ships. A request by the SMA in Norrkoping was made to extend CATZOC classifications in Swedish territorial waters ... -
Modeling the Urban Heat Island in Gothenburg, Sweden: an analysis of the Urban Weather Generator Louise
(2023-05-10)Urban Heat Islands is a well-known phenomenon that has been observed in most cities around the globe. It is a night-time phenomenon occurring on calm and clear nights and is defined as the temperature difference between ... -
Modelling façade temperature using meteorological data
(2022-09-01)Urbanization has increased drastically during the last century, and in 2007, the urban population exceeded that of the rural. Urban areas tend to be warmer than those of its surrounding due to the urban heat island effect ... -
Modelling Mosquito Prevalence on a City-Scale in Gothenburg, Sweden. A Methodological Development Study
(2021-06-14)Mosquitoes are one of the most prominent carriers (or vectors) of diseases worldwide, which has an impact on human societies, as up to 1 million people pass away each year from mosquitorelated diseases. Mosquitoes are ... -
Modelling the global water cycle – the effect of Mg-sursassite on the amount of globally subducted water
(2021-07-05)Subduction of hydrated lithospheric mantle is the most important process regarding the transfer of significant amounts of water to depths exceeding 350 km. Hence, the interplay of the thermal structure within the subducted ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
