  4. 2. Carbon exchange in boreal ecosystems: upscaling and the impacts of natural disturbances

    Author : Julia Kelly; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon fluxes; CH4; Climate change; CO2; Drought; Ecosystem respiration; Forest; Peatland; Remote sensing; Temperature; Thermal camera; UAV; Wildfire;

    Abstract : Boreal forests and peatlands are globally significant carbon stores but they are threatened by rising air temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes and the frequency of natural disturbances. Predicting how the boreal biome will respond to climate change depends on being able to accurately model and upscale the greenhouse gas fluxes between these ecosystems and the atmosphere. READ MORE

  5. 3. Supercritical CO2 technology in resource-effectiveproduction of functional and smart textiles

    Author : Molla Tadesse Abate; Satoko Okubayashi; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Supercritical CO2; Polyester; Functional textile; Smart textile; Antimicrobial; Antioxidant; UV protection; Textile UV-sensor; Curcumin; Chitosan; Photochromic materials; Photo-grafting; halochromic textile; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : The demand for functional and smart textiles has risen nowadays due to the lifestyle change of human beings. Along with this, the production of functional and smart textiles is consistently increasing. READ MORE

  6. 4. A Negative Footprint Illusion in Environmental Impact Estimates

    Author : Mattias Holmgren; Patrik Sörqvist; Ola Eriksson; Maria Ojala; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; The negative footprint illusion; averaging bias; environmental impact estimates; decision-making; climate change; Den negativa fotavtryckillusionen; genomsnittsprocess; miljöpåverkan; beslutsfattande; klimatförändringarna; inget Strategiskt forskningsområde SFO ; no Strategic Research Area SFO ;

    Abstract : A major part of anthropogenic climate change is due to everyday human behavior, such as transportation, food and energy consumption. As a result, it has been argued that many barriers for mitigating climate change are psychological in nature. READ MORE

  7. 5. Methodologies for Non-aqueous Systems and Precipitating Systems as Carbon Capture Technologies : A case-study of AMP-NMP

    Author : Meher Sanku; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CO2 capture; non-aqueous; precipitating; thermodynamic model; crystallization kinetics;

    Abstract : In order to combat the effects of climate change, it is important to use a combination of solutions to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible. Carbon capture and sequestration is one such technology that can be used to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of many industrial plants. READ MORE
