6. Land use dynamics and demographic change in southern Burkina Faso
Sammanfattning : With the increasing world’s population, coupled with the technology improvement, man has emerged as the major, most powerful and universal instrument of environmental change in the biosphere today. To understand and predict the impacts of this change in the future, long-term reconstruction of land use and cover changes at global, regional and local scales is a prerequisite. LÄS MER
7. Anthropogenic influence on climate through changes in aerosol emissions from air pollution and land use change
Sammanfattning : Particulate matter suspended in air (i.e. aerosol particles) exerts a substantial influence on the climate of our planet and is responsible for causing severe public health problems in many regions across the globe. LÄS MER
8. Land use GHG emissions and mitigation options, simulated by CoupModel
Sammanfattning : Climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one of the major challenges to the humankind of 21st Century. This thesis focuses on understanding, estimating and suggesting mitigation of the GHG emissions (mainly N2O and CO2) from the land use sector, specifically from forest ecosystems on drained peatlands but also from willow production on agricultural clay soil.

9. Dietary change for sustainable food systems: Effects on climate, land use and health
Sammanfattning : Food production and consumption are key drivers of environmental pressures and essential factors in the promotion and maintenance of health. Production of food occupies more than 1/3 of global land areas and is estimated to be responsible for some 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. LÄS MER
10. Modelling climate policy : non-CO₂ greenhouse gases, uncertainty and land-use competition
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
