This is a subject of growing importa

Submesoscale variations in sea surface temperature and salinity - a comparison between satellite data and in situ measurements from a mobile platform

Sea surface temperature and salinity are important variables for understanding many ocean and climate processes. They can be measured both by in situ sensors and satellite remote sensing, each method with its own advantages and disadvantages. Satellite data provides unmatched spatial and temporal coverage on a global scale, but is limited by its spatial resolution which cannot always resolve varia

Environmental performance of kitchens – A case study of a Ballingslöv kitchen from a life cycle perspective

Kök är en grundläggande del av inredning i byggnader. Ett ökat fokus på hållbarhet i byggbranschen medför att det finns ett intresse att undersöka köks miljöprestanda.
