6. Petermann Glacier Ice Shelf in a warming world : Insights from 3-D numerical modelling of ice shelf-ocean interactions at Petermann Fjord, Northwest Greenland
Sammanfattning : The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is currently the largest contributor to global mean sea level rise, and contemporary mass loss rates are likely lower bounds for the rates to be observed in decades to come. At present, marine outlet glaciers along the northern GrIS margin, with an ice volume estimated at 400 cm mean global sea level rise equivalent, are still largely buttressed by ice shelves. LÄS MER
7. Water level management of wetlands in response to current and future RCP climate change scenarios : A mesocosm experiment within climate control chambers
Sammanfattning : Wetlands are integral components of our natural environment since they provide many critical ecosystem services to humanity, such as water purification, climate change mitigation, flood control, and biodiversity. Although wetlands can convey resilience to some degree of changes, they might be vulnerable to climate change. LÄS MER
8. Hygrothermal Simulations of Buildings Concerning Uncertainties of the Future Climate
Sammanfattning : Global warming and its effects on climate are of great concern. Climate change can affect buildings in different ways, i.e. it can change the energy demand or the moisture durability of buildings in the future. LÄS MER
9. Impacts of stumps and roots on carbon storage and bioenergy use in a climate change context
Sammanfattning : As a result of national and international greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, economic incentives and political desires to be more independent regarding energy supplies, there is interest in substituting fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as forest fuels. Stump harvesting could be an option to further increase the bioenergy potential in forested countries; currently stump harvesting is carried out on a pilot basis in Sweden. LÄS MER
10. Confronting new challenges in chemical assessment : emerging contaminants and climate change
Sammanfattning : Both chemical-specific (e.g. physical-chemical properties) and environmental (e.g. LÄS MER
