Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of the most severe weather-related hazards over the coming decades. The poor in developing countries are particularly susceptible to climate change, often living in informal or precarious settlements. In order to reduce the vulnerability in those areas and strengthen people´s capacities to adapt to climate change, there is a need f
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is widely considered to be one of the main generators of so called spillover effects, where not only direct employment is a positive outcome but the whole economy can benefit in various ways. The recognition of spillovers has resulted in a more active role of host country governments to attract FDI. This thesis analyzes the FDI inflows in Slovenia and the role of pu
Delivering essential services to burgeoning peri-urban cities in the Sub-Sahara will only become an increasing challenge, as the population in this region is expected to double by 2050. Finding effective governance arrangements, institutional settings and building participatory arenas that give a greater voice to citizens and foster greater responsiveness from democratic authorities is a delicate
Turbulent non-premixed flames with local extinction and re-ignition exhibit multiple combustion modes including ignition waves, diffusion flames, partially premixed flames, and ignition-assisted partially premixed flames. The mechanisms of local extinction and re-ignition are not well understood and numerical modeling of multi-mode combustion is a challenging task. In this work, a specially design
The project's main thesis is to verify the existence of local colours and colouring. The object for the research was dwellings in the rural areas of southern Sweden from the 19th century. In the rural areas of Sweden the most dominating traditional facade material is wooden panel. The colour at these facades is the traditional red-paint. It’s relevant for this project to take focus on geographical
Global climate variability affects important local hydro-meteorological variables like precipitation and temperature. The Southern Oscillation (SO) is an easily quantifiable major driving force that gives impact on regional and local climate. The relationships between SO and local climate variation are, however, characterized by strongly nonlinear processes. Due to this, teleconnections between gl
Replacing fossil fuels by biofuels and increasing energy efficiency are often considered to be options for reducing the net emission of greenhouse gases. This thesis presents the results of analyses of energy efficiency, emission and cost of whole energy system chains, from the natural resource to the end user when heating detached houses in a Swedish context. External costs and taxes of the energ

In the spring of 2025 a brand new career programme aimed at international students was launched at Campus Helsingborg. The programme consists of a series of events specifically designed to equip international students with the tools to navigate the Swedish labour market, apply for jobs and internships, visit local companies, and build valuable professional networks. Organised in collaboration betw

This thesis deals with the problem of estimating a function or one of its derivatives from a set of measurements, mainly of a bivariate or spatial nature which is so common in environmental applications. In this work particular attention has been on the lidar (light detection and ranging) application which is a versatile technique for measurement of among other things atmospheric trace gases. In l
Studies of thermally induced transport in nanostructures provide access to an exciting regime where fluctuations are relevant, enabling the investigation of fundamental thermodynamic concepts and the realization of thermal energy harvesters. We study a serial double quantum dot formed in an InAs/InP nanowire coupled to two electron reservoirs. By means of a specially designed local metallic joule-
Internship summary NGEA51, Hugo Bergman Between 31/10/2022 and 13/1/2023 I conducted an internship at the department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University, supervised by researcher Per-Ola Olsson. The aim of the internship was to investigate how spruce bark beetle outbreaks affect the local variability of satellite retrieved vegetation indices, in particular NDVI, CCI, NDR
Aim: FLOOD RISK IMPLICAIONS OF PLANNING STRATEGY IN SEVERN CACTHMENT – HOW SUSTAINABLE IS IT? Arjun Thirunavukarasu 2 Abstract The planning system has a huge bearing on the future development of flood risk. As such, flood risk implications should be considered when planning strategy is produced. This is particularly relevant to the UK, where flooding is expected to increase due to climate change (

he behaviour of a continuous-time stochastic process in the neighbourhood of zero-crossings and local maxima is compared with the behaviour of a discrete sampled version of the same process.For regular processes, with finite crossing-rate or finite rate of local extremes, the behaviour of the sampled version approaches that of the continuous one as the sampling interval tends to zero. Especially t
Commercial fishing makes the coastal inlet in Hornafjörður to an important navigational link for the port of Höfn in southeast Iceland. Low water depth caused through sediment accumulation along the ebb shoal generates navigational problems and the phenomenon of glacial rebound seems to intensify this problem. Economic losses caused by the inability of fishing boats to navigate through the coastal
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of collaboration among local government, business, and NGOs in a sustainable city. This includes identification of prominent driving forces and success factors of such collaborative arrangements. Method: Qualitative case study conducted in San Francisco, with a combination of inductive and deductive reasoning. Firstly, a theoreti
Recent work in multiple view geometry has focused on obtaining globally optimal solutions at the price of computational time efficiency. On the other hand, traditional bundle adjustment algorithms have been found to provide good solutions even though there may be multiple local minima. In this paper we justify this observation by giving a simple sufficient condition for global optimality that can
