Rheological response to tectonic and volcanic deformation in Iceland
(2016-05-06)
Iceland is one of the few places in the world where a Mid-Oceanic Ridge (MOR) is exposed on land, and this gives good opportunity to study geodynamic processes. Spreading of Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge (MAR) segments in Iceland ...
The Carbon Dioxide System in the Baltic Sea Surface Waters
(2011-05-26)
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is steadily increasing because of human activities such as fossil fuel burning. To understand how this is affecting the planet, several pieces of knowledge of the ...
Instruments for reaching climate objectives. Focusing on the time aspects of bioenergy and allocation rules in the European Union's Emission Trading System
(2011-09-29)
The Europeans Union’s (EU’s) climate and energy strategy aims at reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 20 % (compared to 1990) and to increase the share of renewable energy to 20 % by the year 2020. Increased ...
The Mesoproterozoic Hallandian event - a region-scale orogenic event in the Fennoscandian Shield
(2011-05-19)
The Sveconorwegian Province occupies the southwestern part of the Fennoscandian Shield. The easternmost tectonic unit of the Province is the 1710-1660 Ma parautochthonous Eastern Segment, which bears the imprint of at least ...
Changes in near-surface winds across Sweden over the past decades - Observations and simulations
(2020-11-19)
Driven by a combination of anthropogenic activities and climate changes, near- surface terrestrial winds displayed a large decrease in their magnitude in the past decades, named “stilling”, and a recent recovery in their ...
Sedimentology and Geomorphology of Glacial Landforms in Southern Sweden
(2021-02-26)
Ice sheets are disintegrating due to global warming. One factor controlling ice-sheet behavior is the processes active beneath the ice sheet. In particular, processes connected to glacial meltwater drainage are essential ...
Nitrogen Losses from a Clay-rich Soil used for Cereal Production in south-western Sweden
(2021-11-24)
Addition of fertiliser nitrogen (N) in crop production increases yields and protein contents, but all is not taken up by the crop. Instead, some of the N is lost to air and waters, contributing e.g. to climate change, ...
Rainfall variability, soils and land use changes in the Ethiopian highlands
(2013-09-16)
Most farmers in the Ethiopian highlands are dependent on rain-fed agriculture. The indigenous cereal tef is the most important crop for the farmers in the highlands. The central highland is an environmentally fragile area ...
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 ...
Modelling of the daytime and night-time urban thermal environment
(2016-03-11)
The world’s urban population is expected to increase over the coming decades. To maintain and improve the health and well-being of urban citizens, it is important to increase our knowledge and develop methods for evaluating ...
