  2. 1. Stewardship in an urban world : Civic engagement and human–nature relations in the Anthropocene

    Author : Johan Enqvist; Maria Tengö; Örjan Bodin; Bengt G. Karlsson; Richard C. Stedman; Morgan Grove; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; agency; Bengaluru; boundary object; care; civil society; community; environmental ethics; knowledge; natural resource management; New York City; problem of fit; rigidity trap; sense of place; social–ecological system; urbanization; water governance; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : Never before have humans wielded a greater ability to alter and disrupt planetary processes. Our impact is becoming so noticeable that a new geological epoch has been proposed – the Anthropocene – in which Earth systems might no longer maintain the stable and predictable conditions of the past 12 millennia.

  4. 2. Water erosion modeling using fractal rainfall disaggregation- a study in semiarid Tunisia

    Author : Sihem Jebari; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reservoir siltation; regionalization; fractal analysis; Atlasic mountain range; erosive events; semiarid area; soil loss; Tunisia.; Soil erosion; semiarid; Tunisia; rainfall; fractal; diaggregation;

    Abstract : In the Tunisian semiarid area, water erosion processes have led to negative economic and environmental consequences in a context of limited water resources. To characterize and predict these degradation phenomena, a comprehensive high-resolution data base on erosive rainfall, together with siltation records for 28 small reservoirs were analyzed.

  5. 3. Analytics-driven approaches supporting asset management of sanitary sewer networks

    Author : Emmanuel Okwori; Annelie Hedström; Maria Viklander; Marius Møller Rokstad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Data-driven; Decision Support; Network Robustness; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Abstract : Sewer blockages can cause overflows and flooding, with consequences such as damage to property and environmental pollution, risks to public health and economic loss. Despite the causes being understood, blockages in sewer networks may occur unpredictably. READ MORE

  6. 4. Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning : Redundancy and Resilience in Freshwater Bacterial Communities

    Author : Hannes Peter; Lars J. Tranvik; Eva S. Lindström; Silke Langenheder; Nelson G. Hairston; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Flooding is of great concern world-wide, causing damage to infrastructure, property and loss of life. Low-income countries, in particular, can be negatively affected by flood events due to their inherent vulnerabilities. Moreover, data to perform studies for flood risk management in low-income regions are often scarce or lacking sufficient quality. READ MORE
