(2020-07-08)Fjärranalys har sedan slutet av 1800-talet och fram tills idag genomgått en uppseendeväckande teknikutveckling. Idag framträder så även en ytterligare teknik inom fjärranalys som benämns för drönare. Drönare har, förutom ... -
Streamlined landform distribution in south-west Sweden
(2020-07-08)Streamlined landforms are forming underneath today’s glaciers. Since the Earth is undergoing a deglaciation it is important to understand how the glaciers move over the landscape to be able to predict future changes. In ... -
2D plain strain, pure shear deformation experiments in ice – Preparation of strain gauges teaching material for undergraduate students
(2020-07-08)In this report I explore the viability of using an ice thin section with carbon dioxide inclusions as a material for students to practice the Fry- and Rf/Φ strain analysis methods. The use of this material allows the ... -
Spår längs Hökensås av Tidanissjöns utveckling och existens
(2020-07-08)During deglaciation, ice-dammed lakes formed in front of the retreating ice margin. Between Billingen and Hökensås, and south of the middle Swedish end-moraine-zone, a depression exists. In this area an ice-dammed lake ... -
A general description of cryoconite and its expected characteristics and origin at the glacier Nigardsbreen, Norway - A research proposal
(2020-07-08)Dark dust accumulates on the surfaces of glaciers ablation zones where it aggregates and forms cryoconite. Inorganic content, often silicate minerals, and organic matter, including wind-blown pollen and plant fragments ... -
Magmatic fractionation of trace elements in biotite with emphasis on indium in the Salmi batholith, Russian Karelia
(2020-07-08)Biotite is one of the most common ferromagnesian phases in granitic systems and has a crystal lattice allowing for a range of cation substitutions. The mineral can record whole rock chemistry, mirror processes in the ... -
An Assessment of Wadis as Suitable for Wastewater Treatment, in a Semi-Arid Region with Limited Data Access – Aleppo, Syria
(2020-07-08)As a consequence of the conflict in Syria, the wastewater treatment plant in southwestern Aleppo has not been fully functioning since 2013, and wastewater is released into the Queiq River without adequate treatment. ... -
Air quality, indoor and outdoor. A study of connections between indoor and outdoor concentrations: NO2, CO2, PM10 and PM2.5
(2020-06-29)Air pollution is a hazard to human health and especially vulnerable are those who live in urban areas. Urban areas are undergoing fast driven urbanization which often results in increased air pollution. Since different ... -

(2020-06-29)Blå-grön infrastruktur sammankopplar fragmenterade livsmiljöer, främjar biologisk mångfald och skapar multifunktionella grönytor som möjliggör för bland annat rekreation, dagvattenhantering och klimatreglering. Följande ... -
Distribution of salinity measurements and salinity variations on shelf- and in fjord waters, around Svalbard - throughout the last century
(2020-06-29)Salinity data are an important component of the climate models that seek out to predict the climate variability. This data, of direct measurements, are scattered and needs to be assembled. This thesis set out to gather ... -
Återvätning av dikad torvmark
(2020-06-29)Klimatet förändras med ökad global temperatur och extrema värderevent till följd av mänskliga utsläpp av växthusgaser. Förändring i markanvändningssektorn står för 24% av de totala årliga utsläppen globalt och av de ... -
