  1. 11. Necessary but not Sustainable? The Limits of Democracy in Achieving Environmental Sustainability

    Författare :Marina Povitkina; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; democracy; environmental sustainability; quality of government; corruption;

    Sammanfattning : The world today faces a number of environmental problems that are both severe and urgent. Finding effective solutions is one of the top priorities for the international community, with at least half of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals relating either directly or indirectly to reaching environmental sustainability.

  3. 12. Change and Progress in Disaster Risk Reduction

    Författare :Maximilian S. T. Wanner; Daniel Nohrstedt; Charles F. Parker; Andreas Duit; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; public policy; sustainable development; disaster risk reduction; adaptation; international environmental agreements; soft law; regime effectiveness; Hyogo Framework for Action; Fiji; Nepal; Statskunskap; Political Science;

    Sammanfattning : Human-induced climate change is projected to increase the frequency and magnitude of natural hazard events, posing a growing global threat to lives, livelihoods, and assets. Much past research on disaster risk reduction (DRR) has focused on failures of disaster management, while less attention has been devoted to how DRR has changed or improved over time. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Effects of Small-Scale Ionospheric Irregularities on GNSS Radio Occultation Signals : Evaluations Using Multiple Phase Screen Simulator

    Författare :Vinícius Ludwig Barbosa; Mats Pettersson; Viet Thuy Vu; Stig Syndergaard; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GNSS Radio Occultation GNSS-RO ; Ionosphere; Scintillation;

    Sammanfattning : Radio Occultation (RO) is a remote sensing technique which uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals tracked by a Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite to sound the earth's atmosphere both in low (troposphere, stratosphere) and high (ionosphere) altitudes. GNSS-RO provides global coverage and SI traceable measurements of atmospheric data with high-vertical resolution. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Small Sanitation Systems – Treatment Efficiency, Sustainability and Implementation

    Författare :Brenda Vidal; Annelie Hedström; Inga Herrmann; Günther Langergraber; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainable sanitation; sand filter; phosphorus filter; package plant; cold climate; treatment process; system analysis; sustainability indicators; decentralization; centralization; historical development; on-site; resource recovery; source separation; source-separating systems; blackwater; urine; greywater; hållbarthetsanalys; små avlopp system; enskilda avlopp; markbädd; minireningsverk; kallt klimat; systemanalys; fosforfälla; fosforfilter; indikator; urin sortering; svartvatten; toalettvatten; gråvatten; BDT; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Current socio-technical wastewater system paradigms are being challenged by emerging global issues such as climate change, environmental degradation and scarcity of resources. Thus, exploration of innovative new urban water management solutions is required that enable closure of resource loops. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Studies of Unusual Seismicity and Long Period Events at the Glacier Overlain Katla Volcano, Iceland

    Författare :Kristín Jónsdóttir; Roland Roberts; Björn Lund; Göran Ekström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Geofysik; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Sammanfattning : Earthquake catalogues are usually dominated by diffusive behaviour consistent with the Omori law of aftershocks. This is investigated in terms of waiting times, i.e. the time between successive events in a time-sorted earthquake catalogue. LÄS MER
