2. 16. A combined carbon and hydrogen isotope approach to reconstruct the SE Asian paleomonsoon : Impacts on the Angkor Civilization and links to paleolimnology

   Author : Kweku Kyei Afrifa Yamoah; Rienk Smittenberg; Sarah Feakins; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Holocene; summer monsoon; biomarkers; hydrogen isotopes; lake sediment; peat; Thailand; geokemi; Geochemistry;

   Abstract : Changes in monsoon patterns not only affect ecosystems and societies but also the global climate system in terms of heat energy and humidity transfer from the equator to higher latitudes.

5. 18. Approaches to scale-up CO2 emissions reduction in the energy supply sector in developing countries

   Author : Wathanyu Amatayakul; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sectoral no-lose target; electricity generation; biomass; CO2 abatement; Thailand; CDM; developing countries; biofuel;

   Abstract : This thesis, which consists of five papers, addresses two themes related to the need for a scale-up of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction in the energy sector in developing countries: (1) approaches to support developing countries in scaling-up emissions reduction, and (2) an approach to scale-up emissions reduction --cultivation of fuel wood to replace fossil fuels in electricity generation.In the first paper, the potential volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction and reduction credits in the electricity sector under a sectoral crediting mechanism based on a sectoral no-lose, non-binding, target in the post-2012 period is assessed for seven high-emitting developing countries by means of different scenarios.
