Abstract:
A wide area assessment of forecast changes in wintertime synoptic conditions over western North America is combined with a meso-scale alpine hydrometeorology model to evaluate the joint impact(s) of forecast climate change on snowpack conditions in an alpine watershed in the southern Canadian Rockies. The synoptic analysis was used to generate long-term climate time series scenarios using the CCCma CGCM1. An alpine hydrometerology model is used to predict changes in wintertime precipitation at the watershed scale. A mass balance snow model is utilized to predict the overall snow accumulation t

Abstract:
Background: Climate change and the consequences of global warming is probably one of the greatest issues of our time. Among other concerns, global warming is thought to have a great impact on hydrology worldwide. When the atmosphere warms up, river runoff patterns are altered. Nevertheless these future changes are assumed to increase the hydropower potential in some countries. In the public debate it is often referred to a nine year old investigation claiming an increase of 15-20 % in Swedish energy production from hydropower due to the river runoff increase.

Ocean acidification (OA) and warming represent two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, and understanding how they will influence whole ecosystems and their functionality is crucial for effective management.

The United Nations recognises anthropocentric greenhouse gas emissions to be the leading cause of global warming. The International Institute of Refrigeration further addresses that in 2014 7.8% of the global greenhouse gas emissions were assigned to the refrigeration sector. This marked the importance of using metrics to evaluate the climate impact of a refrigeration system. However, as these metrics rely on uncertain values it is difficult to assess how reliable they are.

Life cycle assessment, or LCA, is used as a method to assess CO2eq emissions from the solar lanterns.

The causes of increasing outbreaks of Acanthaster planci on the Great Barrier Reef have been a point of hot debate in recent years.

From existing literature, I demonstrate that sea surface temperature in the Great Barrier Reef has increased by 0.4°C per year over the past three decades.

Abstract:
A modelling approach focused on snow hydrology was developed and applied to project future changes in spring streamflow volumes in the St. Mary River headwaters basin, Montana. A spatially distributed, physically-based, hydrometeorological and snow mass balance model was refined and used to produce snow water equivalent (SWE) and rainfall surfaces for the study watershed. Snowmelt runoff (SR) and effective rainfall runoff (RR) volumes were compiled for the 1961-2004 historical period. A statistical regression model was developed linking spring streamflow volume (QS) at Babb, Montana to the SR

Abstract:
The definition of food security provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) includes the quality of agricultural products as a principal pillar, intended as the production of nutritious food to allow people to meet dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. In a world that is undergoing major physical, social, and economic transitions, the achievement of global food security is undermined by the projected increase of human population to 9 billion people by 2050. Nowadays, even if the current total food production would be capable to pr

Abstract:
Há evidências de que o clima vem sendo alterado pela ação humana desde a época da Revolução Industrial devido à crescente emissão de gases estufa na atmosfera. Inúmeras curvas da variação da temperatura média anual têm sido publicadas com uma característica comum: o crescimento da temperatura durante o último século, totalizando aproximadamente 0,5ºC. Acredita-se que o aumento na concentração atmosférica dos gases responsáveis pelo efeito estufa tenha influência direta na tendência da temperatura dos últimos 100 anos. Este trabalho foi realizado com o intuito de estudar as mudanças no comport

Les zones polaires sont les premières à subir les effets du réchauffement climatique.L'estimation de l‟impact physiologique d‟une augmentation de température sur les espèces de ces régions est capitale afin de prédire l'évolution des écosystèmes polaires. Les conséquences physiologiques de l‟augmentation des températures peuvent affecter les capacités de résistance et de survie des organismes. Le krill constitue un maillon clé des écosystèmes polaires, il est aussi à la base de la chaine trophique de ces régions.

Abstract:
Climate change poses significant threats to mountain ecosystems in North America (Barnett et al., 2005) and will subsequently impact water supply for human and ecosystem use. To assess these threats, we must have an understanding of the local variability in hydrometeorological conditions over the mountains. This thesis describes the continued development and application of a fine scale spatial hydrometeorological model, GENESYS (GENerate Earth SYstems Science input). The GENESYS model successfully simulated daily snowpack values for a 10 year trial period and annual runoff volumes for a thirty

As additive manufacturing gains market potential as a mainstream process in various sectors of industry, there is a growing need for addressing environmental aspects of this technology and the materials associated with it. In this master thesis, comparative life cycle assessments (LCAs) from cradle to grave between the conventional products and 3D-printed alternatives made of wood-plastic composite (WPC) were conducted based on the ISO 14044:2006 standard. Environmental impacts of each product were quantified for 10 impact categories. The goal of the LCAs was to determine whether the use of th
