• Evolutionary and Ecological Effects of Metal Pollution on Coastal Diatoms 

  Andersson, Björn (2022-10-21)

  Oceans are changing rapidly in response to human activities, such as toxic pollution, eutrophication, and climate change. Diatoms are major primary producers in the oceans with short generation times, flexible reproductive ...

• Modelling the Evolution of Species’ Ranges 

  Eriksson, Martin (2022-09-16)

  The fact that species have limited ranges is often due to a limited ability to adapt to the environmental conditions that occur outside their geographic ranges. However, due to ongoing climate change, the environmental ...

• Microbial degradation of wooden foundation piles in urban context – causes and concerns 

  Elam, Johanna (2022-05-18)

  Modern infrastructural projects can endanger historical piled foundations supporting cultural heritage buildings, as groundwork can affect the subsurface environment by lowering the local groundwater level and increasing ...

• Turbulence in the sea ice impacted Southern Ocean and its implications for primary production and carbon export 

  Giddy, Isabelle (2022-05-12)

  The sea ice impacted Southern Ocean, south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, is one of the most important regions on earth for the cycling of carbon and distribution of heat and freshwater around the globe. Here, ...

• Ocean mixing and polynyas at Maud Rise, Weddell Sea 

  Mohrmann, Martin (2022-04-22)

  The Weddell Sea Polynya is an intermittent, ice free area in the marginal ice zone with an extent of up to 350 000 km². It was first observed by satellites in the winter seasons of 1974-1976. In 2016 and 2017, an open-ocean ...

• Crossing barriers: Genetic consequences of translocating wild cleaner fish for aquaculture 

  Faust, Ellika (2022-04-21)

  Several species of fish show a symbiotic cleaning behaviour, where they assist other species by feeding and removing dead skin or ectoparasites. Some of these cleaner fish species are used as a low-cost parasite control ...

• Speech to celebrate the Department of Marine Sciences' 6th anniversary, 2021. 

  Omstedt, Anders (University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2022)

• Signals in the Sea: predatory induced defences in marine phytoplankton 

  Rigby, Kristie (2022-03-11)

• Nutrient dynamics in coastal and shelf oceans - sediments as a regulator of eutrophication feedbacks 

  Hylén, Astrid (2022-01-10)

  Coastal and shelf systems are under increasing pressure from human activities. Many coastal systems currently suffer from excessive algae growth following increased nutrient input from land, a process called eutrophication. ...

• Dreams and Marine Sciences. Anders Omstedt speaking from Sweden on July 4 2020 

  Omstedt, Anders (University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2021)

• Pandoras och Ullmans askar 

  Omstedt, Anders; Hoppe Storck, Karin (University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2021)

• Havsis längs svenska västkusten 

  Omstedt, Anders (University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2021)

  Det är något alldeles speciellt med is, som många som åker skridskor på våra vinterisar vet. Årets möjlighet att få åka på havet längs den svenska västkusten väckte både sprudlande glädje och osäkerhet inför havsisen.

• New Perspectives in Multi-trophic Aquaculture 

  Hargrave, Matthew Simon (2021-05-26)

  Aquaculture, the farming of marine and aquatic organisms, is currently the fastest growing food production sector globally. As capture fisheries have stagnated and the fishing down of marine food webs has been seen to be ...

• Habitat-Forming Seaweeds in a Changing Climate 

  Kinnby, Alexandra (2021-05-19)

  Climate change is an umbrella term encompassing some of the largest and most potent selective pressures currently acting on ecosystems. It can have diverse effects on marine systems; the most powerful of which are changes ...

• Genetic Identification of Corkwing Wrasse Cleaner Fish Escaping from Norwegian Aquaculture 

  Faust, Ellika (University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2021)

  The genetic impact of farmed fish escaping aquaculture is a highly debated issue. However, non-target species, such as cleaner fish that are used in fish farms to remove parasitic sea lice, are rarely considered. Here, ...

• Reproductive isolation at contact zones 

  Perini, Samuel (2021-01-18)

  Speciation is among the most important evolutionary processes that contribute to biodiversity. It involves the formation of new species that have become reproductively isolated through a process that is not linear and ...

• Practical application of machine learning for analyses of biological matrices and environmental phenomena. 

  Walsh, Alexandra (2020-09-11)

  This thesis presents research aimed at forwarding an understanding of machine learning methods as a method of studying complex matrices and environmental phenomena. A number of machine learning methods in the form of linear ...

• Sources and fate of plastic particles in northern European coastal waters 

  Karlsson, Therese M. (2019-12-11)

  Plastics are integral parts of our lives and have allowed for important technological leaps within society. However, an unwanted consequence of our current consumption of plas-tics is marine plastic pollution and in order ...

• Sustainable Kelp Aquaculture in Sweden 

  Visch, Wouter (2019-10-29)

  Seaweed aquaculture is gaining more interest worldwide, including Europe. However, despite its long coast seaweed farming is still very minor in Sweden. The overarching aim of this thesis is to develop sustainable cultivation ...

• Carbon cycling in Baltic Sea sediments – In situ investigations with benthic landers 

  Nilsson, Madeleine (2018-05-25)

  Coastal seas, estuaries and continental shelves are the connection between land and the open ocean, and due to high productivity and strong influence from land a majority of the marine organic carbon (OC) cycling and ...
