(2019-10-08)This thesis aims to develop a methodological framework for analyzing the accessibility to potential social utility environments within urban green spaces from a broad population spectrum within a weekday context. The thesis ... -
Spatial Heterogeneity of Weather impacts on Cycling Flows within Gothenburg, Sweden - A Geographic Framework for Local Pattern Analysis
(2019-10-25)Background: In the past decade, the phenomenon of spatial heterogeneity has started to gain traction in studies of cycling and weather. Cycling is usually the mode of transportation that is most affected by inclement ... -
Investigating flood risk cost in Kungsbacka using the ICPR FloRiAn GIS-tool
(2019-10-25)Losses from floods have increased in recent years, worldwide and in Sweden. Understanding the economic and non-monetary cost of being exposed to flood hazard is important from a spatial planning perspective, particularly ... -
Saltwater Intrusion in Fractured Crystalline Bedrock Aquifer. - A Case Study on Koster Islands, SW Sweden
(2019-10-30)Saltwater intrusion (SWI) is one of the significant threats in many coastal areas, mainly driven by anthropogenic hazards (over-pumping) and climate change (sea level rise). So far, there have been extensive research and ... -
Heat stress at preschool yards. A mixed-method geographical study in Gothenburg, Sweden.
(2019-10-30)As climate change is predicted to generate higher temperature and more frequent heat waves and extreme temperature events in Sweden, issues related to heat will be more accentuated in the future. Children are both ... -
Grundvattenpåverkan kring schakter. - En jämförelse mellan olika analytiska beräkningsmetoder
(2019-10-30)To be able to predict the effects on groundwater related to drawdown is of great importance to make sure that protected objects, such as drinking water wells and vulnerable ecosystems, are not affected. To predict the ... -
Ash distribution and cavities in Icelandic glaciers, a marker for snow accumulation and radar signal velocity change
(2020-01-15)Glaciers in the geologically active Iceland has a high scientific as well as touristic value. In this thesis, the two largest glaciers on Iceland have been studied with GPR to find if the method is suitable to use in ... -
Hydrological catchment analysis from characterisation of organic matter in stream water
(2020-02-05)Organic matter (OM) in aquatic systems is a complex field which have rapidly developed during the last decade due to the introduction of high resolution mass spectrometers. The composition of OM in the aquatic environment ... -
Fosfors omsättningstid i jord med metoden 33P inkubationsexperiment kombination med isotop utbytes kinetik (IEK) med 33P
(2020-02-05)Fosfor är en begränsad resurs på jorden, i vissa länder går det att finna fosfor naturligt i fosfat rikt berg. För att utnyttja den mängd fosfor som finns på jorden på bästa möjliga vis, är det viktigt att få en djupare ... -
Greenhoue gas flux over a 50-year post permafrost thaw gradient. Decomposition of soil organic carbon from the Swedish tussock tundra.
(2020-02-11)As the globe is warming the extent of permafrost drastically decreases in the high latitudes. Upon thaw the stored soil organic carbon (SOC) undergoes rapid decomposition and is partly released as trace gases to the ... -
Complex REE zonations in metamorphic garnet reflect accessory mineral reactions
(2020-05-29)A garnet from the Sesia Zone, NW Italy, was selected for Major and Rare Earth Element (REE) mapping, using LA-ICP-MS – a procedure previously not conducted at the Department of Earth Science at University of Gothenburg. ... -
Cropland and tree cover mapping using Sentinel-2 data in an agroforestry landscape, Burkina Faso
(2020-06-29)Sentinel-2, with high spatial resolution bands and increased number of spectral channels, has provided increased capabilities for vegetation mapping. Cropland masks within heterogeneous areas such as the Sudano-Sahel ... -
Infiltration, hydrogeology, and heterogeneity - Management of pressure and flow: A case study for the Varberg tunnel project
(2020-07-08)This thesis aims to describe a conceptual model of the sedimentology for Swedish (or nordic) conditions of heterogeneous aquifers but focus is on a case study in Varberg. This to facilitate the identification of main ... -
Mercury and methyl mercury release in soil and water - their relationship with different properties in Skogaryd
(2020-07-08)In Skogaryd research site, water samples were taken and analysed for total mercury (Hgtot) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentration along with the pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and total organic content (TOC). This to give the ... -
Planetary Boundary Layer Height Variations Over the Tibetan Plateau in Relation to Local Climate Variables and Large-Scale Circulation
(2020-09-09)The lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, the planetary boundary layer (PBL), may reach extremely high above the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Moreover, the TP is a hotspot region for climate interactions, exerting far-reaching ... -
Acid sulphate soil in Falkenberg on the west coast of Sweden - The first discovery of active acid sulphate soil outside the Baltic Basin
(2020-09-09)Active AS soil has several negative impacts on the environment due to their ability to severely decrease pH-values and mobilize metals bound in the soil. The negative impacts can especially be seen in aquatic environments ... -
