Modeling the climatic sensitivity of the inception of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet
Understanding the sensitivity of ice sheets to climate forcing is crucial for predicting future behavior of ice sheets. Multiple studies have analyzed the inception of the Quaternary ice sheets using time-dependent global climate models. The results have indicated that although carbon dioxide …

Bias correction of global circulation model outputs using artificial neural networks
Climate studies and effective environmental management plans require unbiased climate datasets. This study develops a new bias correction approach using a three layer feedforward neural network to reduce the biases of climate variables (temperature and precipitation) over northern South America. …

A critical analysis of the passive house standard for the climates of the United States
… Feist (Feist 2012) is not achievable in all US climate zones. To make possible the widespread adoption of this low energy standard, the standard itself needs to be adjusted and redefined. This thesis will answer the question of how the Passive House Standard's certification criteria could be …

Hydrology across scales : sensitivity of East African lakes to climate changes
… studied to better understand the influence of climate change on hydrological systems. The exceptional sensitivity of these rift lakes, however, is both a challenge and an opportunity when trying to reconstruct past climate changes from changes in the hydrological budget of lake basins on …
