I samband med att kommuner planerar ny bebyggelse måste en detaljplan upprättas. En detaljplan är ett dokument som specificerar hur ett avgränsat område i kommunen ska bebyggas och hur markområdet får användas.

STI (Soil Topografic Index) är ett hydrologiskt index som beskriver markfuktigheten i ett landskap. Då indexet är baserat på de relativt konstanta faktorerna topografi, jordens textur och jorddjup beskriver det ett generellt markfuktighetsmönster. Indexet applicerades på jordbruksmark i Helsingborgs kommun för att få kunskap om vilka områden markfuktigheten tenderar att vara låg eller hög. Vid extThe index STI describes water flow path in a landscape. Whit the help of STI it´s possible to detect areas where the soil moisture is expected to be very high or low. When comparing the result of the STI for the chosen study-area with interviews for farmers in the same area, where was a similarity between which areas the STI identified as risk for high soil moisture and which areas the farmers ide

With a fuel consumption of up to 150 tons a day for a containership, fuel cost is the main expense for shippers. To decrease expenses, drag reduction is the most important topic to address. The biggest factor that influence the hydrodynamics of a vessel is marine fouling. A heavily fouled ship can consume an additional 40 % of fuel or more. The process of marine fouling is an extremely diverse and
