11. Hydro-climatic changes in irrigated world regions
Sammanfattning : Understanding of hydro-climatic changes in the world’s river basins is required to ensure future food security. Different regional basins experience different levels of hydro-climatic change depending on the endorheic or exorheic nature of a hydrological basin, along with the climatic conditions and human land and water-use practices, for instance for irrigation.

12. 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
13. Land Use, Freshwater Flows and Ecosystem Services in an Era of Global Change
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to analyse interactions between freshwater flows, terrestrial ecosystems and human well-being. Freshwater management and policy has mainly focused on the liquid water part (surface and ground water run off) of the hydrological cycle including aquatic ecosystems. LÄS MER
14. Modelling climate policy : non-CO₂ greenhouse gases, uncertainty and land-use competition
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
15. Drivers of global land use change : are increasing demands for food and bioenergy offset by technological change and yield increase?
Sammanfattning : Globally, the food and energy demands of the growing global population are rising and require increased agricultural production. Additionally, climate change will have adverse effects on agricultural productivity. LÄS MER
