  1. 1. Climate vulnerability assessment methodology : Agriculture under climate change in the Nordic region

    Author : Lotten Wiréhn; Tina-Simone Schmid Neset; Björn-Ola Linnér; Giuseppe Feola; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Agriculture; Assessment methodology; Climate change; Geographic Visualization; Indicator-based methods; Vulnerability; Bedömningsmetodologi; Geografisk Visualisering; Indikatorbaserade metoder; Jordbruk; Klimatförändringar; Sårbarhet;

    Abstract : Food security and climate change mitigation are crucial missions for the agricultural sector and for global work on sustainable development. Concurrently, agricultural production is directly dependent on climatic conditions, making climate change adaptation strategies essential for the agricultural sector. READ MORE

  2. 2. Estimations of Hydrogeological Properties in Vulnerability and Risk Assessments

    Author : Lars Rosen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; groundwater; Markov; conceptual model; Bayes; risk; vulnerability;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate and develop approaches for hydrogeological vulnerability and risk assessments, starting with scant data and updating the results as new information becomes available. This work was performed within three separate projects between 1989 and 1995. READ MORE

    Abstract : The rapid advances in information and communication technology enable a shift from diverse systems empowered mainly by either hardware or software to cyber-physical systems (CPSs) that are driving Critical infrastructures (CIs), such as energy and manufacturing systems. However, alongside the expected enhancements in efficiency and reliability, the induced connectivity exposes these CIs to cyberattacks exemplified by Stuxnet and WannaCry ransomware cyber incidents.

  4. 4. Assessing groundwater vulnerability

    Author : Lena Maxe; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Groundwater is protected to varying degrees by the overlyinggeological strata. Groundwater vulnerability assessment is anevaluation of how effective the geological material is atreducing pollutants. READ MORE

  5. 5. A framework and theory for cyber security assessments

    Author : Teodor Sommestad; Mathias Ekstedt; Ruth Breu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cyber security; security assessment; vulnerability assessment; architecture modeling; enterprise architecture;

    Abstract : Information technology (IT) is critical and valuable to our society. An important type of IT system is Supervisor Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. These systems are used to control and monitor physical industrial processes like electrical power supply, water supply and railroad transport. READ MORE
