16. Solar Variability Assessment in the Built Environment : Model Development and Application to Grid Integration
Abstract : During the 21st century there has been a rapid increase in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) capacity globally, due to falling system component prices and introduction of various economic incentives. To a large extent, PV systems are installed on buildings, which means they are widely distributed and located close to the power consumer, in contrast to conventional power plants. READ MORE

17. Modelling Freshwater-Seawater Interactions in Coastal Aquifers : Long-term Trends and Temporal Variability Effects
Abstract : Over-exploitation of coastal aquifers causes seawaterintrusion and eventually contamination of groundwater wells inmany parts of the world. Desalination of brackish water andartificial recharge of treated wastewater may then be asustainable strategy for managing groundwater supply inwater-stressed regions. READ MORE

18. Spatiotemporal streamflow variability in a boreal landscape : Importance of landscape composition for catchment hydrological functioning
Abstract : The understanding of how different parts of a landscape contribute to streamflow by storing and releasing water has long been a central issue in hydrology. Knowledge about what controls streamflow dynamics across landscapes can further our understanding of how catchments store and release water, facilitate predictions for ungauged catchments, and improve the management of water quality and resources.

19. Climate, Conflict and Coping Capacity : The Impact of Climate Variability on Organized Violence
Abstract : Understanding the conflict potential of climate variability is critical for assessing and dealing with the societal implications of climate change. Yet, it remains poorly understood under what circumstances – and how – extreme weather events and variation in precipitation patterns affect organized violence. READ MORE

20. The atmospheric contribution to Arctic sea-ice variability
Abstract : The Arctic sea-ice cover plays an important role for the global climate system. Sea ice and the overlying snow cover reflect up to eight times more of the solar radiation than the underlying ocean. Hence, they are important for the global energy budget, and changes in the sea-ice cover can have a large impact on the Arctic climate and beyond. READ MORE
