Scleractinian reef corals live within a few degrees of their upper thermal limit. They exist in an obligate symbiosis with single-cell dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae, and harbor tens to hundreds of types of bacterial and archaeal symbionts. Thermal stress from epi…

Climate change poses a growing threat to freshwater ecosystems and water quality. This dissertation examines the relationship between changes in climate and two key water quality parameters: the transport of nitrogen within rivers, referred to as nitrogen loading, and river temp…
Este estudo visa avaliar os riscos relacionados com as alterações climáticas em diferentes cenários, principalmente os riscos de se tornar num sistema financeiro sustentável, impulsionado pelo acordo de Paris, metas europeias e agendas estratégicas locais. Bem como avaliar a lim…
This study examines the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility on the financial distress risk of a company. The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are employed as a proxy for CSR, while three different measures are applied to assess financial distress level…
This thesis examines the challenges for environmental research in UK archives and presents possible solutions for archivists to implement. It is the result of a collaboration between the University of Liverpool (jointly between the departments of Geography and History) and the S…
Changes in climate, land-use, and land cover alter estuarine nutrient loads, particularly in systems with strong land-sea connectivity. Process-based water quality models are commonly used to assess how upstream changes in hydrology and land management influence downstream estua…
Cold-water corals are important habitat builders in the deep ocean worldwide. Despite being known for centuries, recent technological advances and deep-sea exploration has revealed cold-water corals thriving at depths of up to 6000m. Similar to their warm-water relatives, coldwa…
The visual connection humans make with the 3-dimensional elements of their surrounding landscape - known as a viewscape (Vukomanovic et al. 2018) - is the primary way people connect with the environment (Kandel et al. 2000, Nujhuis et al. 2011). Thus, the ability to model where,…
This master thesis addresses a large-scale biogeographical question, the distribution and evolutionary history of a marine species complex with a vast distribution in the northern hemisphere. This complex includes two intertidal brown macroalgae, Fucus spiralis and Fucus guiryi,…
Natural climatic variability, changing climatic conditions, periodic droughts, andexcessive moisture events impact agriculture, industry, municipalities, and surface waterresource management throughout the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Persistent, large-areadroughts are some of th…
Global warming arises from an energy imbalance where increased radiative forcing from greenhouse gases traps additional heat in the Earth system. Over recent decades, more than 90% of this heat has gone into the ocean, causing thermal expansion that leads to sea level rise. Addi…
Can the California grid support 100% renewables and 100% EVs? Rigorous analysis in this area says the answer is yes, but this would require large energy storage and charging EVs during the day. Doubling green energy imports, such as Canadian hydro, will be also required. This th…
Since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, lakes in Maine and much of the Northeastern US have seen significant shifts in response to reduced atmospheric deposition as well as climate change. The organisms that inhabit lakes are susceptible to environmental change, but our unde…
As major conduits for both water and sediment, rivers are responsible for shaping much of Earth's surface. The river morphology we observe today is result of complex interaction between geology, tectonics, climate, and erosion over time, an evolution that is recorded in sediment…
Uygun iklim ve coğrafi şartlarının da etkisiyle asırlardır yerleşim alanı olarak tercih edilen Biga, Güney Marmara'da bulunup Anadolu ile Trakya arasında bir köprü vazifesi görmüştür. Çanakkale'nin Biga İlçesi-Gümüşçay Belediyesi sınırları içinde bulunan Nasuh Çelebi Câmii Hazir…
Agriculture is highly dependent on and sensitive to weather. Warming effects result from greenhouse gas emissions and aerosols from a small number of countries but its impact will be felt on a global scale. So far, agricultural productivity growth has sustained the continuous gl…
The common practices for planning and management of Water Resources Systems (WSSs) are challenged in the last decades by global climate change processes which are observed around the world in increasing frequencies. Climate change is manifested by climate variability, temperatur…
Human-caused changes in water use, emissions, and land cover have increasingly impacted the natural and built environments. As a result, the natural hydrologic cycle has been disrupted, causing changes in the quantity and quality of water, extreme events (i.e., droughts and floo…
O presente trabalho aborda a aplicação de componentes sustentáveis nas Contratações Públicas na perspectiva do sistema jurídico brasileiro. Desde a “virada ecológica”, especialmente após a Conferência de Estocolmo, as questões sobre o meio ambiente se intensificaram por conta, d…
