1. Modelling regional climate-vegetation interactions in Europe : A palaeo perspective
Abstract : Studies in paleoclimate are important because they give us knowledge about how the climate system works and puts the current climate change in necessary perspective. By studying (pre)historic periods we increase our knowledge not just about these periods, but also about the processes that are important for climatic variations and changes. READ MORE

2. Evaluation of climate model simulations by means of statistical methods
Abstract : Evaluation of climate model simulations is a key issue within climate research. The statistical framework proposed by Sundberg et al., 2012, provides a theoretical underpinning of methods for evaluation of climate models by use of climateproxy data from the last millennium. READ MORE

3. Towards a flexible statistical modelling by latent factors for evaluation of simulated responses to climate forcings
Abstract : In this thesis, using the principles of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the cause-effect concept associated with structural equation modelling (SEM), a new flexible statistical framework for evaluation of climate model simulations against observational data is suggested. The design of the framework also makes it possible to investigate the magnitude of the influence of different forcings on the temperature as well as to investigate a general causal latent structure of temperature data.

4. High-resolution simulations of two cold palaeo climates in Europe : MIS 3 and LGM
Abstract : The study of past climate is important because it increases our understanding of how the climate system works. Past climate is often reconstructed by using proxies (that is observations of things that tell something about past climate, for example tree rings, pollen in lake sediments and fossils). READ MORE

5. Spatiotemporal prediction of arbovirus outbreak risk : the role of weather and population mobility
Abstract : Background: Arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya have been a significant public health burden globally for several decades. In Indonesia, all four dengue serotypes are circulating. READ MORE
