Evaluating DInSAR for measuring seasonal elevation dynamics at the Vissátvuopmi palsa mire complex in Northern Sweden
(2022-09-09)During recent years the palsa mires of Fennoscandia have reported to be undergoing extensive lateral degradation, and in a warming environment the palsa mires of Sweden among others are threatened to thaw completely by ... -
Evaluating a method using pXRF for measuring sulphur along Ostlänken
(2022-09-09)Ostlänken (The Eastern link) is going to be a new main railway in Sweden, between Södertälje and Linköping. The railroad will go through areas where there could be high sulphide concentration in the rocks, and during the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Assessing the controls of the fluoride concentrations in the groundwater of Gothenburg area
(2022-11-04)The human uptake of fluoride can promote healthy teeth in low concentration (<1.5 mg/l) or cause fluorosis when concentration is high (>1.5 mg/l). Drinking water is a major route to which we humans are expose to fluoride ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The atmospheric effects of Southern Ocean open-ocean polynyas onto the coastal polynyas from EC-Earth3
(2023-05-10)Polynyas are recurring areas of open water or thin ice within the sea ice pack, which alter the local oceanatmosphere heat and moisture exchange. They are differentiated as coastal (latent heat) or open-ocean (sensible heat) ... -
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 ... -
Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks
(2023-05-10)Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh ... -
A Structural Analysis of the Fracture Sets in Gothenburg, Sweden: A Remote Sensing and Manual Lineament Approach
(2023-05-22)The fracture-valley landscape within the Gothenburg region was analysed based on LiDAR-derived hillshade images as well as several sources of orthomosaics. Using a manual lineament interpretation approach and complimented ... -
Trees as heat stress mitigators. The frequency of heat and cold stress in a redevelopment area in Borås, Sweden
(2023-06-22)As future climate is predicted to generate higher temperatures as well as more frequent extreme weather scenarios, it is essential to plan to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an attempt to mitigate one effect ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN AGRICULTURE FOR ADAPTATION/ RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA
(2023-06-22)Mountain agricultural systems in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are in a unique position to contribute to promoting nature-based solutions in adaptation and resilience to climate change since they are least impacted by ... -
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 ... -
