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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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) ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NORWAY SPRUCE TREELINE IN THE CENTRAL SCANDINAVIAN MOUNTAINS Treeline evolution, tree growth and a Blue Intensity summer temperature reconstruction
(2022-09-01)In the context of global change, mountain regions have received increased interest in recent times with researchers trying to answer how such regions may be affected by a changing climate. Treeline environments are ... -
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 ... -
ASSESING HISTORICAL (1926-1996) NEAR-SURFACE WIND SPEED VARIABILITY ACROSS SWEDEN
(2022-06-27)Homogenized near-surface wind speed (NSWS) series of 7 stations from rescued observational journals have been analyzed for the 70-years time-period 1926-1996 to investigate past changes and variations across Sweden. ... -
