MSc thesis subject: A deeper look into Arctic wetlands
Wetlands in the Arctic constitute an effective long term carbon storage. With increasing temperatures and permafrost melting, these greenhouse gases... -
Msc thesis subject: Agent-based simulation of the forest-water-people nexus
Approximately half of the human population needs to cope with too much, too little and/or low quality water. The complex relationships between... -
MSc thesis subject: Analysing topography dependency of global forest cover loss over the last 20 years
An alarming rate of forest cover loss combined with more frequent extreme climate events strongly increases the pressure on tropical forest... -
