2. 1. Primary Marine Aerosol Production : An experimental study based on Arctic Ocean water and a sea water proxy

   Author : Julia Zábori; Margareta Hansson; Gordon McFiggans; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic Ocean; primary marine aerosol; climate change; sea water physical properties; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the interplay between the physical properties of ocean water and primary marine aerosol (PMA) emissions in the context of a rapidly changing Arctic climate. PMAs are an important part of the climate system due to their ability to interact with incoming solar radiation and to influence cloud properties. READ MORE

   Abstract : Unicellular organisms, microalgae and bacteria, less than one millimeter in size make the world go round. Phytoplankton and cyanobacteria, for example, plays an inevitable role contributing 50-85% to the world’s oxygen via photosynthesis. READ MORE

6. 4. Climate change mitigation in China

   Author : Bo Xu; Ronald Wennersten; Kerstin Kuchta; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; China; Climate change mitigation; Environmental Kuznets Curve EKC hypothesis; Mitigation target; Business-as-usual BAU scenarios; Policy instruments;

   Abstract : China has been experiencing great economic development and fast urbanisation since its reforms and opening-up policy in 1978. However, these changes are reliant on consumption of primary energy, especially coal, characterised by high pollution and low efficiency. READ MORE

7. 5. Engendering Spatial Planning : A Gender Perspective on Municipal Climate Change Response

   Author : Christian Dymén; Göran Cars; Richard Langlais; Susan Buckingham; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Spatial planning; climate change; gender perspective; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

   Abstract : While climate change mitigation has been on the agenda of spatial planning practitioners for over two decades, adaptation has only become influential in spatial planning practice in recent years. This trend is evident not only at the municipal levelbut also at the regional and national levels. READ MORE
