"Länsstyrelsen" have made a report about rising sea-levels in Skåne. You find it as a PDF at their webpage: http://www.m.lst.se/m/amnen/Samhallsplanering/Aktuella_planeringsfragor/Stigande_havsnivaer.htm.
To translate swedish into english you can always use the webpage www.tyda.se.

Some interesting links:
The ASCCUE (Adapting Stratetgies for Climate Change in the Urban Environment) -project. A scheme funded by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) in the UK with collaborators form the University of Manchester. The research aimed at clarifying the role that greenspace network can play in adapting for climate change in urbanised areas. With a 10% increase of green spaces in urban conurbations, surface temperature will drop by 4C - hence 'climate proofing' towns and cities. As climate change predicts severe draught periods in summer, new consideration of waterstorage for supply and irrigation is necessary. The study also touches on the increase of winter flooding and increased precipitation. See more of the report at: www.terradaily.com/reports and www.epsrc.ac.uk
Interesting information on daylighting of subterranean watercourses:GOOGLE ' Daylighting: New Life for Buried Streams' R. Pinkham. Daylighting projects in Seattle, New York and Berkely, California to mention a few. Quite facinating!
Product and method information on SUDS (Sustainabel Drainage Systems) www.ciria.org
and GOOGLE 'Street Edge Alternatives' .
At the moment I am researching subterranean rivulets in the town of Lund and the potential role the could play in flash flooding scenarios/runoff increase. I'll keep information posted on the subject from next week.

Article
An article from Harward Design Magazine called Design for Rising Sea Levels by Jonathan Barnet and Kristina Hill is available in the office now. Read it and let's discuss it next week!
Friday
The lecture on friday by Anders Larsson will start 08.30 instead of 08.00. Then we continue with pin-up after the break.
There are no list of things you should include in the pin-up. Just think about it as a presentation for someone who hasn't been introduced to the project before.
