The number of people living in urban areas has increased significantly over the past few decades. As such, cities have become centers for population and economic growth. These two factors, however, are also the most significant drivers of fossil fuel related CO2 emissions. Additionally, urban services contribute to dominant socio-technical systems that are inherently unsustainable, path dependent,

Monitoring crop phenology at parcel scale aligns with the concept of precision agriculture (PA) and can provide invaluable information to agronomic management systems. Satellite time series data are commonly deployed for detecting crop growth stages, while the recent advancements in remote sensing (RS) technologies such as the launch of Sentinel 2 (S2) are providing unprecedented opportunities for

Sommaren 2017 uppfattades av många som ovanligt blöt och kall, men var i själva verket nära det normala i södra Sverige, medan sommaren efter (2018) var ovanligt varm och torr. Dessa två år utgör därför en intressant fallstudie för att undersöka hur extrem torka påverkar vegetationen i södra Sverige. Jämförelsen är särskilt intressant eftersom klimatförändringarna bland annat förväntas leda till e

Research and poll results suggest an ongoing crisis in modern Western European workplaces with high levels of indifference at work underlined by low engagement levels. Data aggregated from 2014 to 2016 by Gallup World Polls state that only 10% of Western European employees are engaged at work while 71% are not engaged and 19% are actively disengaged (Gallup, 2017). These numbers highlight an urgen

Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from po

The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctu

How audiences engage with news has not always gotten a lot of attention in academic and industry research; and, even then, it is often studied in terms of exposure and interaction. This does not fully capture the dynamism and multidimensionality of this phenomenon; and industry attempts to apply market principles to engagement risks depoliticizing and reducing it to economic values. Rather than po

Computer programming is historically constructed as a male domain, and the underrepresentation of women and other marginalised minorities is recognised as a global phenomenon in most countries of the world. However, limited attention has been paid to women who choose to enter this field. The lack of intersectional and cross-national analysis on the relationship between gender and technology remain
