1. Blue-green stormwater systems for citywide flood mitigation : Monitoring, conceptualization, modeling, and evaluation
Sammanfattning : Considering the growth in urbanization, leading to an increase in impervious surfaces, and the changing climate, enhancing the intensity and frequency of rainfall events, existing urban drainage networks—separate or combined sewer systems—are presumed to face substantially elevated hydraulic loads, causing pluvial floods in urban areas. There are several ways to address these challenges. LÄS MER
2. Computer-aided optimization of complex processes in production systems and urban environments
Sammanfattning : Complex processes can be seen as a series of actions, changes, and/or events that are related in different temporospatial manners, and thus are potentially difficult to understand. Optimizing such a process is therefore not necessarily a simple feat, and doing it experimentally may become both time-consuming and expensive. LÄS MER
3. Sustainability performance of blue-green infrastructure across seasons and with various designs
Sammanfattning : The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) affect societal development within multiple sectors, both strategically and at street level. For instance, SDG 6 and SDG 11 have contributed to a shift in urban stormwater management that has traditionally been pipe-based, including only control of runoff volumes, to a more multi-functional nature-based blue-green infrastructure (BGI), where"blue" areas are characterized by (temporarily or permanent) open water and "green" areas by vegetative systems.

4. Psychotropic Pharmaceuticals in Aquatic Systems: An Ecological Perspective
Sammanfattning : Psychotropic pharmaceuticals have been shown to exert a variety of sublethal effects on non-target organisms, even at low concentrations found in the environment (ng/L to µg/L); hence, the aim of my research has been to determine the individual-level effects of psychotropic pharmaceuticals (the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline and fluoxetine, and the β-blocker propranolol) on behavioral and life history traits in freshwater organisms. Further, this research was directed towards assessing the potential large-scale impacts of these effects on population growth and predator-prey interactions (with community-level implications) via the application of traditional, ecological concepts and models.

5. Investigations of the influence of physical factors on some marine ecological systems
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about the conditions for life in the sea. The marine life forms may look disparate, but are joined by their common dependence of the fluid medium which they inhabit. The motion and the properties of the water in the sea largely determine the conditions with which all maritime organisms have to comply. LÄS MER
