  2. 21. Use of remote sensing and in situ observations of the atmosphere in chemical transport models

    Author : Emma Ward; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate; Air quality; Ground based observations; Satellite observations; Chemical transport modelling;

    Abstract : Measuring and simulating atmospheric chemical compositions helps us to better understand the impact from long-range transport of different pollutants. Aerosols and tropospheric ozone are examples of pollutants with life times long enough to get transported between continents. READ MORE

  4. 22. The evolution of upper Norrland's ports and loading places 1750-1976

    Author : Ian G. Layton; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; communications patterns; economic development; export trade; forest-based industries; historical geography; industrial location; northern sweden; port evolution; ports; transport technology;

    Abstract : Models of port development have hitherto concentrated on landward communications and the organization of maritime space in their explanation of changes in port location and activity. This study demonstrates that the level of economic development in hinterlands together with industrial and marine technology are also significant factors and indeed play leading roles in the process of port evolution.

  5. 23. Adding Fuel to the Fire : North-South dynamics in the geographies of transport energy: the case of EU biofuels

    Author : David Harnesk; LUCSUS; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy geography; geopolitics; territorialisation; climate change mitigation; transport; biofuels; agrofuels; European Union EU ; certification; sustainability criteria; sustainability science; energi; geografi; geopolitik; territorialisering; klimatomställning; transport; biodrivmedel; biobränsle; Europeiska Unionen; certifiering; hållbarhetskriterier; hållbarhetsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Since the 2000s, the European Union (EU) has promoted biofuels for transport to achieve climate change mitigation, and rural development in the global South. In contrast, critiques have argued that biofuel promotion impedes more meaningful mitigation while also resulting in dispossession of land and loss of labour opportunities in the global South.

  6. 24. ‘Station communities’ as a strategy for sustainable regional development: A case study of small towns with train stations in the Västra Götaland region, Sweden : ’Stationssamhällen’ som en strategi för hållbar regional utveckling: En fallstudie av små samhällen med en tågstation i Västra Götalandsregionen, Sverige

    Author : Charlotta Capitao Patrao; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sustainable regional development; spatial planning; sparse settlement structures; TOD; collaboration; local prerequisites; case study research;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns sustainable regional structures and takes its point of departure in regional development. It focuses on small towns along railway lines in sparse settlement structures, and on the interplay between land-use planning and transport planning. READ MORE

  7. 25. Permafrost Groundwater Dynamics : Modeling of vertical and lateral flows in the active layer across multiple scales

    Author : Alexandra Hamm; Andrew Frampton; Peter Kuhry; Jeffrey McKenzie; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; permafrost; climate change; numerical modeling; hydrogeology; groundwater; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Hydrological processes in the Arctic are profoundly influenced by the presence of permanently frozen ground, known as permafrost. Conversely, permafrost is greatly affected by hydrological changes resulting from climate change. READ MORE
