Abstract:

There is scientific consensus that anthropogenic climate change is occurring and that it has had and will continue to have profoundly negative social, economic, and environmental consequences. The US government has not taken sufficient action to mitigate the threat of dangerous climate change. Frustrated by the lack of action in the legislative and executive branches, climate advocates have turned to the judicial branch and litigation to advance their cause. Litigation is important not only for its ability to create substantive legal change, but also for its power to generate media coverage an

Climate change is now an issue of critical concern throughout the world. In 2014, the Fifth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change proclaimed that the 21st century will pose some of the most acute challenges due to the accelerating impacts of climate change. Bangladesh, a South Asian developing country, is considered the sixth most vulnerable nation in the world due to its geographical settings (GCRI, 2015). The country faces extreme climatic events including sea level rise, salt water intrusion into arable lands, and the increased risk of severe storms, cyclones, floods, flash floods and d

This thesis explores the way journalists are using and adapting visualisations in climate change news, in order to investigate the meaning-making potential of an emerging form of digital journalism where methods of information visualisation are used to translate specialist knowledge and often complex, multivariate datasetsinto images that are more easily understood by, and of social value to, the general public. Applying a dual methodological framework of heuristic evaluation and social semiotic analysis, this thesis presents a novel method of exploring both the abstraction and translation of

This thesis identified dominant discourses in climate change mitigation policy in three Swedish municipalities using argumentative discourse analysis. It was explored how these discourses influence the potential for success in mitigating climate change. Other studies have identified several factors that are important when working with climate change mitigation in municipalities, for example, political leadership and organizational structure. However, studies have shown that discourse is also an influential factor since it sets the frame for what can be thought of, consequently influencing poli

In the thesis I develop a living theory of responsibility, movement, engagement, withdrawal, and self care with a living standard of judgement of response-ability toward the other. I use a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to develop a dynamic, relational understanding, where social constructions are discussed and refined using cycles of loose and strict thinking, an inter-play of emotion and intellect, and a combination of intuitive and analytic reasoning. This is underpinned by an extended epistemology embracing experiential learning, documentary and textual analysis, presentational know

A substantial segment of the error in numerical weather prediction and climate projections comes from the intrinsic uncertainties of General Circulation Models of the atmosphere. Stochastic physics schemes are one of the preferred methods to represent the model uncertainty in Ensemble Prediction Systems, where different realizations of the same forecast are created to quantify the probabilities of different outcomes in the atmospheric flow. Stochastic physics schemes have been successfully employed in medium-range and seasonal forecasting systems, as they increase the skill of probabilistic fo

Global climate change is predicted to affect timing and severity of disturbance events (e.g., fire, drought, hurricanes, wind storms, and inundation), but the extent of these disturbance events and their impacts on natural ecosystems may vary regionally. Rising sea level, increased frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered inundation regimes are likely to create changing environmental conditions in low-lying coastal ecosystems. These large scale disturbances may increase resource availability and regeneration spaces, reduce competition, and possibly increase community vulnerabili

Colonialism is connected to climate change through issues that include rising sea levels, biodiversity loss, changing weather patterns such as floods and prolonged droughts, and ecological devastation. By examining literature, visual art and performance that go against canonical Western ways of reading the ocean, I foreground how we can unsettle climate colonialism and its effects on

Abstract:

The dissertation is organized in 3 chapters dealing with the timescale of macrodynamic growth models in the short and in the long run, as well as with the analysis of the climate-economy interplay over the business cycle. The first essay provides an analytical solution to the differential equation that regulates the motion of the neo-Kaleckian model in the short run. After presenting a simple open economy neo-Kaleckian model with government activity, the essay analytically derives an expression for the time of adjustment, defined as the time required for the system to make a $ k $ percent adju

Abstract:

Climate change impacts on snow storages and spring runoff in the Vydra river basin Abstract As a result of increasing air temperature, the fraction of precipitation falling as snow decreases. This affects snow cover indicators including snow cover duration, snow cover extent and the amount of water that accumulates in snow cover during winter. These changes further propagate through local runoff process and alter winter and spring runoff. The impacts of air temperature warming of 1℃, 2℃ and 3℃ on the above-mentioned indicators were simulated using a conceptual catchment runoff model HBV-light.

Abstract:

L’analisi del fattore ventilativo riveste un ruolo interessante per la comprensione delle condizioni di comfort dello spazio urbano. Partendo dalla porosità dell’organismo architettonico, si è voluto incentrare l’attenzione su potenzialità e limiti della ventilazione naturale, analizzandone con occhio critico possibili ricadute progettuali in relazione ad uno specifico campo di indagine: la città storica. Proprio in questi brani di città, che oggi risultano essere quelli maggiormente vulnerabili dal punto di vista climatico, si deve parlare di ventilazione e di sfruttamento delle potenzialità

In connessione con i recenti orientamenti della storiografia internazionale, sempre più attenti al nesso scienza-imperialismo, questo lavoro prende in esame i meccanismi di formazione, nell’Italia liberale e durante il regime fascista, della conoscenza medica sulle malattie tropicali: un settore del sapere medico sviluppatosi a fine ottocento sulla base delle proposte teoriche di Patrick Manson, sollecitato dalle scoperte della batteriologia di Louis Pasteur e Robert Koch e dagli avanzamenti della parassitologia.

Abstract:

Invitato a Costantinopoli da una delegazione nicena, che ne chiedeva l’intervento a sostegno della comunità ortodossa locale, Gregorio di Nazianzo accantonò il desiderio di dedicarsi alla vita contemplativa e si recò nella Neja ÔRwvmh: non poteva certo immaginare che negli anni trascorsi nella capitale (dagli inizi del 379 al luglio del 381) avrebbe conosciuto, a distanza di breve tempo, l’apice e il fallimento della sua attività politico-ecclestiastica. Alla guida di un piccolo gruppo di fedeli, radunati in una sala udienze privata ribattezzata Anastasia, Gregorio esercitò con impegno i suoi
