Winter Road Conditions and Traffic Accidents in Sweden and UK - Present and Future Climate Scenarios
(2010-02-04)This thesis investigates the distribution of slippery roads in Sweden and the UK for the present climate and how this may be affected by climate change for the rest of the century. It also addresses future scenarios for ... -
Proterozoic crustal evolution in southcentral Fennoscandia
(2010-01-13)The Transscandinavian Igneous Belt (TIB) and the Eastern Segment of the Southwest Scandinavian Domain reflect advanced stages of continental growth within the Fennoscandian Shield. The relationship between the two units ... -
Land Use in Climate Policy - Forest Based Options at Local Level with Cases from India
(2009-11-06)With India’s large population, an increased pressure on forest and agricultural land indicate a growing demand for environmental services that is sustainable for the future. Fertile agricultural land is limited and with ... -
Crystallization and Differentiation Processes in the Thin Layered Alkali Gabbroic Intrusions of the Ulvö Gabbro Complex, Central Sweden
(2009-10-22)Fractional crystallization of magma is a commonly invoked mechanism for chemical differentiation in systems that range from volcanoes to entire planets. However, the processes that control separation of crystals and liquids ... -
The Tropospheric Aerosol - Measurements and Modelling. Case studies in Tanzania and Southeast Asia and development of models for size resolved aerosol simulations on the regional scale.
(2009-10-01)The tropospheric aerosol is a complex constituent of the atmosphere that has impacts on health and the climate. This thesis presents five different studies from Tanzania, Southeast Asia and Europe dealing with urban ... -
Ocean Climate Variability over Recent Centuries Explored by Modelling the Baltic Sea
(2009-09-03)Natural variability and anthropogenic factors both contribute to changes in the ocean climate of the Baltic Sea. Observations over the past century indicate that changes in environmental settings and ocean climate have ... -
Characterizing and reconstructing 500 years of climate in the Baltic sea Basin
(2009-05-13)Climate has always attracted considerable interest, and climate observations have been made in various ways for most of human history. Regional climate and how it varies is of particular interest, as it sets the scene for ... -
Regional and local surface ozone variations in relation to meteorological conditions in Sweden
(2009-05-07)Air quality is strongly dependent on meteorological conditions. Atmospheric circulation encapsulates general information about local meteorological variables to some extent, and can serve as an explanatory variable for ... -
Oceanographic studies of the Baltic Sea with emphasis on sea ice and mixing processes
(2009-05-06)This thesis comprises of model estimates of the water and heat budgets, re-estimating of the budget of deep-water mixing energy, model studies of generation mechanisms for internal waves, sea ice dynamics and finally sea ... -
Fluid Migration and Brittle Tectonothermal Evolution in the Central Fennoscandian Shield - Recorded by Fracture Minerals and Wall Rock Alteration
(2009-04-16)The Forsmark area in central Sweden has been investigated as a potential geological host for a final repository of spent nuclear fuel by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB). High quality drill core ... -
Proterozoic to Quaternary Events of Fracture Mineralisation and Oxidation in SE Sweden
(2008-11-18)Fracture minerals and altered wall rock have been analysed to reveal the low-temperature evolution, especially regarding redox conditions, of the Simpevarp area, SE Sweden. This area is one of the two areas in Sweden ...
