(2023-10-09)In light of increasing global temperatures, urban areas face growing challenges related to heat stress. Alterations in land cover (LC) within cities contribute to changes in the intra-urban climate, predominantly driven ... -
Extreme precipitation events in the Sichuan Basin and their connection to mesoscale disturbances
(2022-10-04)The Sichuan Basin (SB) is a region with frequent extreme precipitation during summer, principally as a result of its location and topography, with the most extreme events possibly leading to floodings and landslides. A ... -
THE FIRST ACTIVE ACID SULFATE SOIL FOUND OUTSIDE THE BALTIC BASIN, IN VISKA VALLEY WEST COAST OF SWEDEN
(2023-09-15)Acid sulfate (AS) soils are naturally formed but are responsible for environmental problem due to its low pH. Drainage of active AS soils can lead to mobilization of harmful metals and a severe pH drop in nearby aquatic ... -
Fosfors omsättningstid i jord med metoden 33P inkubationsexperiment kombination med isotop utbytes kinetik (IEK) med 33P
(2020-02-05)Fosfor är en begränsad resurs på jorden, i vissa länder går det att finna fosfor naturligt i fosfat rikt berg. För att utnyttja den mängd fosfor som finns på jorden på bästa möjliga vis, är det viktigt att få en djupare ... -
FROM SPACE TO THE SUBSURFACE. Examining Relations Between Vegetation Indices and Local Groundwater Storage.
(2023-11-06)This study aimed to examine the relationship between vegetation indices, NDVI and NDWI, and groundwater levels in the county of Kalmar, utilizing correlation and regression analysis. Further, by examining related geospatial ... -
Greenhoue gas flux over a 50-year post permafrost thaw gradient. Decomposition of soil organic carbon from the Swedish tussock tundra.
(2020-02-11)As the globe is warming the extent of permafrost drastically decreases in the high latitudes. Upon thaw the stored soil organic carbon (SOC) undergoes rapid decomposition and is partly released as trace gases to the ... -
Grundvattenpåverkan kring schakter. - En jämförelse mellan olika analytiska beräkningsmetoder
(2019-10-30)To be able to predict the effects on groundwater related to drawdown is of great importance to make sure that protected objects, such as drinking water wells and vulnerable ecosystems, are not affected. To predict the ... -
Haga Företagscenter - historical and preliminary technical investigation of a contaminated site in Anderstorp, Småland, Sweden
(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 ... -
