The Making of the Tanum Rock Carvings - A Geological Perspective
(2023-08-18)The Bronze Age rock carvings in Tanum, Bohuslän, are made in glacially polished granite, a hard crystalline rock that is difficult to engrave. This raises the question: How did the Bronze Age carvers make them, and which ... -
Kartering och höjdanalys av De Geer Moräner i Karlstad
(2023-08-18)Den senaste istiden som svepte över Sverige och stora delar av norra Europa lämnade glaciala landformer efter sig. De Geer Moräner dokumenterades först i Sverige år 1889 av Gerard De Geer. I Sverige finns de i stora ... -
Potential glacial landforms in Nilosyrtis Mensae, Mars - A qualitative geomorphological mapping and interpretation of an inpact crater
(2023-08-18)The surface of Mars is composed of a variety of geological formations, including mountains, volcanos, canyons, and plains. Studies of regions at mid-latitudes of the northern dichotomy boundary of Mars have demonstrated ... -
Remote Sensing of Snow Dynamics over the Vissátvuopmi Palsa Mire, Northern Sweden
(2023-08-18)Palsas are peat hills made of a permafrost core with ice lenses and are very important areas for biodiversity. Today, palsas are also climate indicators for global warming. Due to their sensitive location at the edge of ... -
ASSESSING THE CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIAL IN SOUTHWESTERN SWEDEN A comparative study of igneous rock from Greenland, Iceland, and Sweden to evaluate the carbonatization potential of the Billdal area, SW Sweden
(2023-08-18)The main purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of geological Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in SW Sweden using an innovative technique which mimics Earth's natural way of regulating the global carbon ... -
A study comparing the resolution of Single Photon LiDAR and Traditional Linear Mode LiDAR in order to detect boulders over a region in Klyftamon, Västra Götaland
(2023-08-18)This study aims to compare two sets of LiDAR, one being Single Photon LiDAR and the other one being the regular LiDAR with 2 meters resolution. The two LiDAR datasets cover an area over Klyftamon, a nature reserve located ... -
Undersökning av hetluftflöden i mineralpackade rör
(2023-08-18)Denna studie var menad att undersöka möjligheten att förbättra lagring av värmeenergi i borrhål & sätt att lättare utvinna energi via naturgas, specifikt genom att fylla borrhålen med fasta materialkorn. Specifikt bestod ... -
The Geometry of a Gabbro Unit Intruded in a Granitic Body, Billdal, Sweden
(2023-08-18)The Billdal area is a part of the Kungsbacka bimodal suite characterized by alternating felsic and mafic intrusions in a N-S trending band stretching from Kungsbacka in the south to Trollhättan in the north. The aim of ... -
Distribution of radioactive elements in the RA-granite bedrock northeast of Säve, Sweden A comparison with the Änggårdsbergen area of Central Gothenburg
(2023-08-18)This study aims to compare data regarding the spatial distribution of radioactive elements K, U and Th in two exposed areas of the RA-granite, a 1311 ±8 Ma granitic unit unevenly enriched in these elements. Several ... -
The impact of trees on thermal comfort at playgrounds in Melbourne, Australia
(2023-08-18)Climate change causes warmer living conditions, especially in cities due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This increases the risk of heat stress, particularly among vulnerable groups like children. Trees have proven ... -
GLACIAL LANDFORMS IN TIBET - A geomorphological study of the western Himalayas
(2023-08-18)Glacial landforms on the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas have long been an object of interest and study in the geology community. The knowledge of their location and distribution may prove to be crucial for ... -
If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History
(2023-08-17)Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. ... -
Perception of urban blue-green infrastructure during winter in Gothenburg
(2023-08-17)Life in urban settlements is often associated with insufficient physical activity and continuous stress. By implementing blue-green infrastructure (BGI) consisting of parks, trees, ponds, and rain gardens, amongst others, ... -
