Vulnerable ecosystem services : climate change impacts on sand dominated ecosystems in Skåne, Sweden

De två Natura-2000 områdena Ravlunda och Revingehed i Skåne, södra Sverige, har genomgått en klimatkänslighetsanalys i denna studie som testade en utvärderingsmetod för relevans att använda inom Länsstyrelsen i Skånes arbete. Analysen gjordes med fokus på ekosystemtjänster identifierad för sanddominerade habitat på de två områdena. Genom användning av en nyligen publicerad report från Naturvårdsve

Issues of geographic context variable calculation methods applied at different geographic levels in spatial historical demographic research : a case study over four parishes in Southern Sweden

Spatial analysis is dependent on the geo-referencing quality of the spatial data, as well as on the definition of the geographic context variables used. However, these facts are rarely taken into consideration in historical demographic research where the geographic factor is considered. An important obstacle in this kind of research is the availability of historical data (spatial and non-spatial),

Vegetation responses to Late Glacial climate shifts as reflected in a high resolution pollen record from Blekinge, south-eastern Sweden, compared with responses of other climate proxies

Denna studie fokuserar på en nästan 1700 år lång sjösedimentsekvens från Hässeldala Port i centrala Blekinge, sydöstra Sverige. Den omfattar övergångsperioden mellan pleistocen och holocen, eller mer precist eventen GI-1a och GS-1 samt början av den holocena epoken i iskärnorna, vilket motsvarar de sydsvenska pollenzonerna sen allerød till tidig preboreal. För att studera den senglaciala klimatutvDuring the past 118000 years Earth has undergone several climatic changes. The most recent major climatic change took place almost 20000 years ago. It was the cooling event, of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), also known as the Ice Age. During this event almost one third of the Northern Hemisphere was covered by ice. Most likeley it was triggered by the change in the water circulation pattern of th

U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of host rocks to the Bastnäs-type REE mineralization in the Riddarhyttan area, west central Bergslagen, Sweden

De sällsynta jordartsmetallerna är en grupp av grundämnen som används mycket i elektronik och som finns med på EUs lista över kritiska råvaror. Utanför Riddarhyttan i Bergslagen, Sverige, finns en känd mineralisering av sällsynta jordartsmetaller i den metavulkaniska berggrunden. Genom att ta prover och analysera mineral som monazit och zirkon med hjälp av en metod som kallas Laser Ablation Induct

School-based disaster preparedness: a route to societal resilience? The case study of Ljungby municipality, Sweden

I stället för att se barn som offer i kriser skulle man kunna använda deras anpassningsförmåga och förändringsvilja som resurser i krisberedskapsprocesserna. Ett sätt att öka samhällets motståndskraft kan vara att lägga till krisberedskap i skolans läroplan (s.k. School-based Disaster Preparedness, SBDP). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka uppfattningar om SBDP i Sverige genom en fältstudieChildren are valuable resources when it comes to disaster preparedness and they should no longer be seen as vulnerable. Since they spend about five days a week in school for almost the whole year, it is natural to consider preparing them for hazards while there. The purpose of the present research is to explore the perceived importance and feasibility of implementing school-based disaster prepared

A response to an ‘outbreak’: a comparative study of Belarusian and Swedish state discourses on irregular migration

In the light of migration’s popularity as a subject of public and academic interest, this thesis aspires to explore the ways in which contemporary articulation of migration in two politically contrasting settings occurs. Comparative approach not only allows to obtain a more holistic perspective on migration perceived through the prism of regularity but also to identify similarities across the case

Challenges of Achieving a Green Future and Financial Security - A Multiple Case Study of Swedish Pension Firms' Green Bond Assessment Processes

Deriving from an increased awareness of the devastating effects of global warming consequences, the interest for green bonds is growing at an explosive pace. However, researchers and practitioners have raised concerns about the challenges of assessing green bonds. Responding to a well-defined research gap stemming from identified challenges to assess green bonds, the primary purpose of this study

Do emission reduction targets limit our shopping alternatives? An accessibility case study of two Swedish shopping centres with CO2 as a travel cost indicator

År 2030 ska Sveriges utsläpp från dess transportsystem ha minskat med 70% enligt nationella mål, exklusive flyg. Av dagens utsläppsnivåer står biltrafiken för mer än 60%. Externa köpcentrum har ökat i antal och i marknadsandelar av detaljhandeln sedan 1970-talet och resor till dessa etableringar står för en betydande del av biltrafikens utsläpp, en del studier visar på upp mot 10%. Lokaliseringen

The pursuit of a successful climate adaptation in the Swedish context: Understanding challenges at the local level

The work with climate change must be structured hierarchically, with global agreements at the top and local authorities and individuals at the bottom. Although, while climate adaptation is recognized at the global scale, there are challenges getting the adaptive actions implemented in practice at the local level. Knowledge about climate adaptation cannot be generally communicated, rather it must a

Topographic controls of drought impact on Swedish primary forests

Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. However, topography is rarely included as a factor in research investigating vegetation dynamics
