Eteläsuomalaisen valuma-alueen eroosion mallinnus muuttuvassa ilmastossa fysikaalisella SWAT-mallilla
Global climate change is predicted to have a major impact on northern temperate and arctic zones climates. Rainfall and temperatures are likely to increase in the future decades. Increasing erosion is one of the major threats linked to these phenomena. In Finland specifically, winter months are expe...

Global climate change is predicted to have a major impact on northern temperate and arctic zones climates. Rainfall and temperatures are likely to increase in the future decades. Increasing erosion is one of the major threats linked to these phenomena. In Finland specifically, winter months are expected to face the most radical change in climate. This master's thesis aims to answer the following questions: how much does erosion increase in changing climate, what are the factors that either increase or control erosion rates, and how well does the physically based SWAT- model behave in the settings of Southern Finland. Two gauging stations inside the study area were used to calibrate and validate the physical SWAT- model (Härkälänjoki and the lower-part of Lepsämänjoki). Total of 16 parameters controlling runoff were used. NS & R2 as well as P- & R-factors were chosen to quantify and measure model behavior. In the calibration period, the R2 & NS values for Härkälänjoki were 0,29 and -0,05, and for Lepsämänjoki 0,40 and 0,34.
