Future seawater levels

ServicesOceanography
seawater levels are specific to one area. To obtain a possible image of future seawater levels in Swedish waters we use the results from the latest IPCC report and from other relevant research. We also take into consideration the elevation of the land, which varies along the Swedish coast. Our assessments Last updated:

Nature-based solutions

HydrologyResearch
mostly worked with large-scale engineering project design but now multifunctional approaches, such as nature-based solutions, are increasingly in demand in society. These are strategies that use nature and natural processes to deliver infrastructure, services, and integrated solutions to meet increasing Last updated:
