(2021-07-13)Jord är en nödvändighet för människan och bidrar med flertal nyttiga ekosystemtjänster som exempelvis rent vatten, matproduktion och kolbindning. I jorden finner terrestriell växtlighet och jordlevande organismer ... -
Vinteruppvärmningshändelser i Abisko och Latnjajaure från 1992 till 2017. Studie om fall av extrema vinteruppvärmningshändelser i nordvästra Lappland
(2021-07-12)Under de senaste decennier har temperaturer i Arktis och Subarktis ökat dramatiskt jämfört med andra delar av världen. Konsekvensen av detta kan vara en ökad frekvens, intensitet och varaktighet av så kallade ... -
Dynamic streams in a pre-alpine catchment
(2021-07-12)This thesis aims to investigate the factors controlling the dynamics of temporary streams, i.e., streams that do not flow throughout the year. Temporary stream hydrology is a relative unexplored scientific field. The ... -
Structures of the deep bedrock in Gothenburg. A structural documentation of the GE1 drill core
(2021-07-12)Gothenburg Energy, SGU and Gothenburg University are currently investigating the possibilities of a deep geothermal energy plant in Gothenburg. In their first investigations there have been a 1 km drilling in Högsbo. The ... -
Acid Sulfate Soils in Västra Götaland, Sweden
(2021-07-06)Acid sulfate soils can cause significant economic, environmental, and health-related issues due to acidification and metal leaching. This thesis investigates the presence of acid sulfate soils in the county of Västra ... -
Façade & Atmospheric Temperature Relationship A Brick Façade Research Study
(2021-07-05)An urban environment is impacted by the urban heat island effect and as such has a higher temperature than that of surrounding rural areas, this is caused by the use of human construction materials such as concrete and ... -
Gravity Survey of Mafic Rocks at Billdal
(2021-07-05)Billdal in southwestern Sweden, is an area dominated by two main rock types, Askim granite and gabbro. Their density difference makes gravity survey an ideal method to help map the location of gabbro bodies which are not ... -
Tree ring-based temperature reconstruction, and the influence of the NAO on growth patterns of scots pine in west central Jämtland
(2021-07-05)The development of tree ring chronologies is an important process in research of past climates. In this study a new tree ring width (TRW) chronology from west central Jämtland is presented with the aim of reconstructing ... -
Response of trees to regional climate – a sensitivity study in Jämtland
(2021-07-05)Global warming is a key topic of present-day research, with the effects projected to be enlarged in Sweden. The county of Jämtland lies in the central Scandinavian mountains and is highly affected by changes in temperature ... -
Modelling the global water cycle – the effect of Mg-sursassite on the amount of globally subducted water
(2021-07-05)Subduction of hydrated lithospheric mantle is the most important process regarding the transfer of significant amounts of water to depths exceeding 350 km. Hence, the interplay of the thermal structure within the subducted ... -
The cooling potential of Rain Gardens and Green Roofs - The influence on energy partitioning in Kvillebäcken, Gothenburg
(2021-07-05)Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) has become a popular way of combating the effects of climate change, both regarding heat mitigation and runoff from precipitation. This thesis aims to understand the potential of two BGI ... -
Investigating Elevation-Dependent Warming in the Tibetan Plateau through a High-Resolution Dynamic Downscaling
(2021-07-05)The frozen water stored over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a vital resource for the people who rely on its meltwater. The current hydrological balance over the TP could alter as global temperatures rise. Further, while the ... -
Glaciala landformer och glacial historia i två områden på Tibetanska högplatån
(2021-07-05)Nedisning av den Tibetanska högplatån har varit objekt för åtskilliga studier. Genom att studera glaciärers respons på tidigare klimatförändringar kan förståelsen för nutida processer förbättras. Syftet med denna uppsats ... -
