Recurring Slope Lineae on the Northern Hemisphere of Mars: an investigation into the new candidate sites
(2021-04-06)Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL), are dark markings found on slopes with a steepness of 25°- 45°. Their width is between 0.5-5 m but they can become hundreds of meters long. They grow incrementally during warm seasons; fade ... -
Evaluating Greenery in Urban Typologies - A Study with a Mixed Method Approach in Gothenburg , Sweden
(2021-06-14)A growing number of cities are experiencing challenges with adapting to stresses originating from a changing climate, such as an increase in air temperature and extreme weather events, where urban greenery has shown ... -
Modelling Mosquito Prevalence on a City-Scale in Gothenburg, Sweden. A Methodological Development Study
(2021-06-14)Mosquitoes are one of the most prominent carriers (or vectors) of diseases worldwide, which has an impact on human societies, as up to 1 million people pass away each year from mosquitorelated diseases. Mosquitoes are ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Resilience and vulnerability in the tourism industry during a pandemic. A comparative study between Finland and Sweden on different geographical scales
(2021-09-14)In 2020 the Covid-19 virus spread rapidly and became a global pandemic. This had a severe impact on the tourism industry since travel was halted due to restrictions imposed to stop the pandemic. This makes it an essential ... -
MIGRATION OF FLUID DURING DEFORMATION OF MOLTEN DEUTRATED ICE USING 3D IMAGE ANALYSIS
(2021-09-14)The behaviour of in ltrating and intergranular uid in an ice body is essential in understanding the de ection of the glacier body. The movement of the uid during deformation is most naturally controlled by compressive ... -
LÖDÖSEHUS: GEOPHYSICAL METHODS FOR DESCRIBING ARCHAEOLOGY AND NEAR-SURFACE GEOLOGY AT THE SITE OF A MEDIEVAL CASTLE IN LÖDÖSE, SW SWEDEN
(2021-09-21)Near-surface geophysics is a well established method for mapping the geological conditions in the subsurface. The use of geophysics is also a commonly used method in archaeological surveys, although traditionally not as ... -
THE MONASTERY HILL: GEOPHYSICAL METHODS FOR DESCRIBING ARCHAEOLOGY AND NEAR-SURFACE GEOLOGY IN LÖDÖSE, SW SWEDEN
(2021-09-21)Even though Sweden has been one of the leading countries in the development of nearsurface geophysics instrumentation and practices, geophysical surveys in archaeology are not commonly used in Sweden. However, it is ... -
Loess in southwestern Sweden. Determining the genesis of the silt-rich layer rödfemman in Svartedalen nature reserve
(2021-10-28)The presence of loess in Sweden is relatively unexplored and has only been found in a few places. Loess acts as a paleoclimatic proxy, which in times of changing climates, is highly relevant. In 1992, Svensson wrote a ... -
Explicit consideration of microbes in quantification of gross N rates based on N-tracing model
(2022-01-26)When studying the nitrogen cycle in soils, the principle of 15N isotope dilution and enrichment is commonly used to measure gross N transformation rates. The measuring data of both organic and inorganic nitrogen substrates ... -
Evaluation of the variation in albedo over snow-covered forest in Northern Sweden and Finland
(2022-05-20)The effect of albedo variability induced by meteorological parameters in snow-covered forested areas at local scale is poorly known. Few meteorological stations measure albedo, even though the effect on albedo caused ... -
