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 ...
Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days
(2023-08-18)
As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and
severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including
the older population, are ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Detecting Lithium Brine in Afghanistan Using Spaceborne Hyperspectral Data
(2023-08-18)
The purpose of this thesis is to utilize hyperspectral remote sensing technology for the identification
and evaluation of lithium mineral deposits in Afghanistan. Afghanistan boasts unique geological
formations with ...
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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
