2. 1. A Changing Arctic Climate : Science and Policy in the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment

   Author : Annika E. Nilsson; Björn-Ola Linnér; Sofie Storbjörk; Oran R. Young; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Arctic; climate; framing; knowledge production; regime; institution; actor network; co-production; indigenous knowledge; Arktis; klimat; kunskapsproduktion; regim; institution; aktörsnätverk; traditionell kunskap; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Abstract : Climate change has often been framed as a global issue but slow progress in the global climate negotiations and an increasing need to plan for local adaptation have made it increasingly salient to also discuss the potential of other arenas for climate policy and knowledge production. This dissertation analyzes the interplay between science and policy at the international regional level based on a study of an assessment of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. READ MORE

4. 2. Surface energy exchange and land-atmosphere interactions of Arctic and subarctic tundra ecosystems under climate change

   Author : Christian Stiegler; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface energy exchange; Arctic and subarctic tundra; climate change; permafrost; eddy covariance; snow cover; micrometeorology;

   Abstract : The surface energy balance determines the functioning of any ecosystem on the Earth but is still poorly understood in Arctic and subarctic biomes. In a dynamic system, such as the Earth’s climate, any change in its characteristics modifies the exchange of energy, water, and greenhouse gases between the surface and the atmosphere. READ MORE

5. 3. Governing Climate Change under the Paris Regime : Meeting Urgency with Voluntarism

   Author : Maria Jernnäs; Björn-Ola Linnér; Eva Lövbrand; Michele Betsill; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global governance; governmentality; Paris Agreement; climate politics; Nationally Determined Contributions NDC ; nonstate actors; global styrning; governmentality; Parisavtalet; klimatpolitik; nationella klimat-planer NDC ; icke-statliga aktörer;

   Abstract : The climate is changing. As the global mean temperature continues to rise, the immense urgency of addressing the climate change crisis is evident. READ MORE

6. 4. The palaeolimnological record of regime shifts in lakes in response to climate change

   Author : Linda Randsalu Wendrup; Kvartärgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; palaeolimnology; regime shifts; thresholds; alternative stable states; climate change; ecosystem dynamics; diatoms; hydrocarbons; monitoring; lake sediments; shallow lakes; 8.2 ka event;

   Abstract : Regime shifts in lake ecosystems can occur in response to both abrupt and continuous climate change, and the imprints they leave in palaeolimnological records allow us to investigate and better understand patterns and processes governing ecological changes on geological time scales. This thesis aims at investigating palaeolimnological records of regime shifts in lakes during the Holocene to explore how lake ecosystems responded to climate changes and anthropogenic activities and to identify thresholds or tipping points that produced regime shifts.

7. 5. On the Arctic Boundary Layer : From Turbulence to Climate

   Author : Thorsten Mauritsen; Gunilla Svensson; Joao Teixeira; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmospheric boundary layers; Turbulence; Stable stratification; Gravity waves; Mesoscale motion; Arctic climate; Meteorology; Meteorologi; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

   Abstract : The boundary layer is the part of the atmosphere that is in direct contact with the ground via turbulent motion. At mid-latitudes the boundary layer is usually one or a few kilometers deep, while in the Arctic it is much more shallow, typically a few hundred meters or less. READ MORE
