Assessing the controls of the fluoride concentrations in the groundwater of Gothenburg area
(2022-11-04)The human uptake of fluoride can promote healthy teeth in low concentration (<1.5 mg/l) or cause fluorosis when concentration is high (>1.5 mg/l). Drinking water is a major route to which we humans are expose to fluoride ... -
Slope Stability Analysis of Hamnbanan, Gothenburg
(2022-10-28)When constructing the new railroad link, Hamnbanan, between Eriksberg and Pölsebo more rock than anticipated fell out as wedges. Due to the excess amount of rock that had to be processed and shipped away there was an ... -
Extreme precipitation events in the Sichuan Basin and their connection to mesoscale disturbances
(2022-10-04)The Sichuan Basin (SB) is a region with frequent extreme precipitation during summer, principally as a result of its location and topography, with the most extreme events possibly leading to floodings and landslides. A ... -
POSSIBLE TIMING OF THE TRANSITION FROM PRE-INDUSTRIAL TO INDUSTRIAL CLIMATE IN THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN OF SWEDEN, BASED ON PROXY DATA FROM TREE-RINGS
(2022-09-28)Earth’s climate has varied through time, with orbital forcing as the most dominant force on the climate system the last million years, causing glacial-interglacial cycles. The last glacial period ended about 11.6 thousand ... -
ÄLDRE OCH VARMT VÄDER En studie kring hur värme i utomhusmiljöer kan mätas och simuleras genom WBGT vid vård- och omsorgsboenden i Göteborg
(2022-09-13)Värmeböljor kommer i takt med den globala uppvärmningen att öka gällande antalet, längden och intensiteten. Vid värmeböljor är den äldre befolkningen mer känsliga för de höga temperaturerna då det har negativa effekter ... -
Evaluating a method using pXRF for measuring sulphur along Ostlänken
(2022-09-09)Ostlänken (The Eastern link) is going to be a new main railway in Sweden, between Södertälje and Linköping. The railroad will go through areas where there could be high sulphide concentration in the rocks, and during the ... -
