(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2018-11-23)A comprehensive site-effect investigation framework was developed and applied to earthquake strong-motion data collected on small-aperture urban arrays, the ICEARRAY I in Hveragerði in the South Iceland Seismic Zone and ICEARRAY II in Húsavík in the ... -
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2018-05-04)International aviation guidelines suggest complete avoidance of ash-contaminated airspace due to its hazardous impact on aircrafts and jet engines. In 2010, however, the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano memorably demonstrated the limits of this ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021-08-27)Buildings are the key components of urban areas and society as a complex system. Traditionally, the emissions embodied in construction materials have not been considered important, in comparison with impacts from the energy use when it comes to mitigating ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021-08)The consumption activities of urbanites contribute to an ever-increasing share of greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. As urban form influences behaviours, the search for the most sustainable type of urban form is a research topic of interest. ...
-
(University of Iceland, 2021-06-30)Ports have always been evolving to satisfy the new or changing demands of stakeholders. In this unstable world, ports as dynamic systems are developed under a high degree of uncertainty. Furthermore, black-swan events, for instance, the financial crisis ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2023)Towards fulfilling increasingly stricter wastewater discharge standards, there is a need for developing reliable decentralized wastewater treatment processes. The goal of this research was to optimize gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration and assess ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2023)Snow resources worldwide are undergoing extensive changes in response to widespread and rapid changing of the global climate. These resources are vital in many areas and changes to them have and will continue to impact human societies and ecosystems ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2019-09)As the Arctic Circle opens up due to the effects of global warming, the surrounding regions, and in particular the subarctic zone, experience both climatic and societal changes, which makes it imperative to understand the existing ecosystems. Lake ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2019-11-25)Shear wave velocity is a fundamental parameter in soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering. The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method is a relatively new non-invasive technique to evaluate the near-surface shear wave velocity ...
-
(Unigrafia, Helsinki, 2016-11)Climate change mitigation in the built environment encompasses various mitigation measures, such as energy efficient buildings, spatial planning instruments and other policies targeting the emissions resulting from transport. However, studies on the ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2018-06-11)The Lisbon Treaty grants permission to each European Union Member to determine which energy sources shall be used to supply its electricity. While EU members may act independently in this regard, since 1996 when Directive 96/92/EC went into effect, ...
-
(Aalto University, 2021-03-05)This dissertation discusses the implications of municipal energy-related actions in the generation of low carbon and carbon neutral cities. The purpose of the study is to examine the implications of these actions within the boundaries of scope 2 - 3 ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021-03)The call for a sustainable development of human societies is becoming ever louder. The term sustainability has as a result become thoroughly incorporated into everyday speech, not least among politicians. For the term to hold any meaning some quantitative ...
