The main objective of this master’s thesis is to construct a model, which can be applied on a region to investigate the possible future climate changes. This investigation is intended to lead to an analysis of the region’s changing risks regarding natural hazards affected by climate change. The hazards investigated are hydrological and climatological hazards and consist of cyclone, tornado and flo

We developed a diagnostic single nucleotide polymo

This study utilizes recently published environmental extensions to the World Input–Output Database (WIOD) to compare production-based, consumption-based and technology-adjusted carbon emissions for 44 countries and country groups for the period 2000 to 2014. Results show some significant shifts in global emission trends compared to similar studies of the period before 2009. For 20 European Union (

A field experiment was carried out to explore the possibilities of planting halophytes on salt-affected land with saline water irrigation. The changes in the salinity of the soil profile, the survival rate and growth conditions as well as the salt tolerance were investigated over a five-year period after the planting of halophyte shrubs and arbours. The results show that halophytes can assimilate
