2. 1. Assessing future effects on lake ecosystem resilience using data analysis and dynamic modelling : Modelling the effects of extreme weather events and climate warming on lakes

   Author : Jorrit P. Mesman; Bastiaan W Ibelings; Stéphane Goyette; Don C Pierson; Karsten Rinke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extreme events; Storms; Modelling; Climate change; Thermal structure; Phytoplankton;

   Abstract : Extreme weather events can have short-term and long-term effects on lake thermal structure, nutrient dynamics, and community composition. Moreover, changes in lake variables induced by global climate change may influence the response and recovery of lake ecosystems to extreme weather events. READ MORE

4. 2. Power Grid Resilience to High Impact Low Probability Events

   Author : Samuel Forsberg; Mikael Bergkvist; Karin Thomas; Lars Nordström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Extreme weather; HILP events; offshore wind; power grid; resilience; vulnerability; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Systems Analysis; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot systemanalys;

   Abstract : The electrification of societies and the decarbonisation of electricity production are changing energy systems worldwide. A fast transition towards the replacement of fossil fuels by intermittent renewable energy sources is expected in the next decades to combat climate change. READ MORE

5. 3. Managing knowledge sharing of extreme weather induced impacts on land transport infrastructure : Case study of the Swedish Transport Administration

   Author : Monika Rydstedt Nyman; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Eva Liljegren; Peter Söderholm; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lessons learned; risk management; climate change adaptation; accident investigation method; extreme weather events; natural hazard; land transport infrastructure; maintenance; lärande; kunskapsåterföring; risk hantering; klimatanpassning; olycksutredningsmetod; naturolyckor; landtransport infrastruktur; underhåll; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

   Abstract : Extreme weather events and effects of climate change are threats to the transport sector’s functionality and safety. Risk management in this context implies a necessity to focus on the connection between near-term experiences and coping strategies on one hand, and long-term adaptation analyses on the other.

6. 4. Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Events: Insights from Asia and Scandinavia

   Author : Dong An; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; extreme events; precipitation extremes; droughts; climate variability; ENSO; climate model; climate projection; the Asia-Pacific region; scandinavia;

   Abstract : As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. READ MORE

7. 5. Soil microbial diversity in agriculture : Responses to land-use and extreme weather events

   Author : Katja Kozjek; Biodiversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agriculture; drought; soil microbial communities; taxonomic diversity; functional diversity;

   Abstract : Land-use intensification of agricultural soils and increased occurrence and intensity of extreme weather events like drought periods are two of the main threats responsible for soil biodiversity declines. These changes in soil biodiversity can alter ecosystem functions performed especially by soil microbial communities that could further contribute to those threats. READ MORE
