  1. 6. Managing knowledge sharing of extreme weather induced impacts on land transport infrastructure : Case study of the Swedish Transport Administration

    Författare :Monika Rydstedt Nyman; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Eva Liljegren; Peter Söderholm; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lessons learned; risk management; climate change adaptation; accident investigation method; extreme weather events; natural hazard; land transport infrastructure; maintenance; lärande; kunskapsåterföring; risk hantering; klimatanpassning; olycksutredningsmetod; naturolyckor; landtransport infrastruktur; underhåll; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

    Sammanfattning : Extreme weather events and effects of climate change are threats to the transport sector’s functionality and safety. Risk management in this context implies a necessity to focus on the connection between near-term experiences and coping strategies on one hand, and long-term adaptation analyses on the other.

  3. 7. Organizational Lessons Learned : Natural Hazards Affecting Critical Infrastructure

    Författare :Monika Rydstedt Nyman; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Eva Liljegren; Henrik Tehler; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; critical infrastructure; feedback; lessons learned; collective learning; memory building; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on an issue often presented as a solution – albeit a debated one ­– namely learning, specifically lessons learned from natural hazard events. Empirically, this thesis examines flooding and avalanches in a Swedish context, centering on systematic feedback mechanisms and learning from extreme events. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Uncertainties in rainfall-runoff modelling of green urban drainage systems : Measurements, data selection and model structure

    Författare :Ico Broekhuizen; Maria Viklander; Günther Leonhardt; Manfred Kleidorfer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering; Centre - Centre for Stormwater Management DRIZZLE ; Centrumbildning - Centrum för dagvattenhantering DRIZZLE ;

    Sammanfattning : Green urban drainage systems are used to avoid flooding and damages to people and property, while limiting the downstream flooding and water quality problems caused by pipe-based drainage systems. Computer models are used to analyse and predict the performance of such systems for design and operation purposes. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Caught in the Maelstrom, Catching the Tide : Micro-level Responses to Climate-Related Hazards and Conflict

    Författare :Kristina Petrova; Hanne Fjelde; Nina von Uexkull; Gabriele Spilker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; climate-related disasters; armed conflict; electoral violence; protests; riots; communal conflict; state institutions; disaster relief aid; climate mobilities; internal and international migration; Sub-Saharan Africa; Bangladesh; Pakistan.;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation contributes to the literature on the nexus between climate-related disaster and conflict. One of the main sources of uncertainty regarding the effects of climate change on conflict stems from limited understanding of the driving mechanisms and the political contexts under which these effects materialize.

  7. 10. Large-Scale Road Network Vulnerability Analysis

    Författare :Erik Jenelius; Lars-Göran Matsson; Michael G. H. Bell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; vulnerability; risk reliability; transport; infrastructure; road network; Other social sciences; Övrig samhällsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Disruptions in the transport system can have severe impacts for affected individuals, businesses and the society as a whole. In this research, vulnerability is seen as the risk of unplanned system disruptions, with a focus on large, rare events. LÄS MER
