Havsnivåhöjning och förhöjda vattenstånd som stormfloder är begrepp som kan kopplas till ökad erosionsrisk, översvämningsrisk och förändrade kuststräckor. Medelvattenståndet i haven ökar till följd av den globala uppvärmningen. Klimatförändringar leder även till att extremväder som stormar och stormfloder blir allt vanligare. I detta arbete har kustområdet kring Morupstrakten, Halland undersökts. A rise in sea level and temporarily elevated sea level changes such as in situations like storm surges, can often lead to complications like flooding, erosion, and geomorphological changes of the nearby landscape. The mean sea level is steadily increasing due to the impact of global warming. At the same time metrological event such as storms and storm surges seem to occur more frequently. In this
Scientific information is playing an important role in policymaking on climate adaptation by providing insight and guidance on efforts needed to reduce risks, respond to impacts, and build resilience. However, the extent to which science is influencing policy is questioned, as efforts being made are not reflecting efforts needed. Barriers in the interface between science and policy has found to be

Motivated by bridging the dichotomy between photography and science, this thesis considers how the selected group of scholar-practitioners view the role of critical environmental photography. Particularly, it surveys whether they think it can be used as a tool for raising awareness of environmental issues and whether it’s significant enough to encourage collaboration between photography and scienc
The present study investigated the relationship between excessive social media usage in everyday life and autobiographical memory recollection. Previous studies have investigated the effect of social media on autobiographical memory in terms of distinct events, while research regarding the cumulative effect of this is lacking, which is the main focus of the present study. This was investigated by
This master’s thesis examines and evaluates different ways of preserving media reliant on the now defunct Adobe Flash technology. The purpose is dual; both to examine and evaluate Flash preservation from an archival point of view, and to contribute to the existing research on Internet communities’ preservation initiatives. The research and data collection for the thesis is focused on the preservat
This thesis investigates if dependence on natural resources causes a delayed demographic transition. The Plurinational State of Bolivia is taken as an example as it is a country with a high share of Mining \& Oil activities in its economy. The method of investigation is a time series analysis covering the period 1900--2010. The results suggest that Bolivia's resource-depleting activities d

Utsläppen från transportsektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Fram till år 2030 vill regeringen att växthusgaserna från transportsektorn ska ha minskat med 70 procent utifrån år 2010s nivåer. Därtill vill man år 2045 att Sverige har nettonollutsläpp. För att inom transportsektorn lyckas med dessa mål kommer ett nyttjande av en kombination av lösningar vara essentie
Myelin water imaging, MWI, is a non-invasive method used for quantifying the amount of myelin in the brain that can aid the understanding of brain plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Conventional MWI is done at a field strength of 3 T, though there are indications that higher field strength may lead to higher resolution images. We investigate the use of isot
