  1. 6. Changes in lake-water organic carbon over recent centuries in northern Sweden, Västerbotten : Past and present mechanisms, and the potential implications on mercury

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Magnusson Petter; [2023]
    Keywords : Lake-water TOC; Summer forest farming; traditional agriculture; land-use; geochemistry; mercury;

    Abstract : Due to the current increase in lake water total organic carbon (LW-TOC), many studies have investigated the long-term dynamics using lake sediments. However, these have mainly been focused on Sweden’s south and south-central parts. READ MORE

  3. 7. Historical mining of Fe-Ca ore in Garpenberg, Sweden. : A study based on lake sediment geochemistry from Finnhytte-dammsjön.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Morgan Eliasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Paleolimnology; Lake sediment; XRF; Garpenberg; Mining history;

    Abstract : It is well established that mining and metallurgy on a larger scale in Sweden originated in Bergslagen. The historical mining district Garpenberg in Bergslagen presently show the oldest signs of mining in Sweden (2300 BP) based on a study of a lake sediment profile from Gruvsjön. READ MORE

  5. 9. Critical elements scavenged by secondary gypsum and HFO : Determined by sequential extraction combined with mineralogical studies

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

    Author : Emma Flodin; [2022]
    Keywords : Geochemistry; gypsum; HFO; adsorption; scavenged; critical elements; beryllium; Yxsjöberg; mine waste; Sequential extraction; XRD; SEM-EDS;

    Abstract : The demand for metals is great for the purpose of developing green technologies, and EU has listed 30 metals and minerals that are of critical importance for the maintenance and evolving of today’s society, so called critical materials. However, mining of raw materials generates mine waste which can have adverse effect on human health, ecosystems, and surrounding areas. READ MORE

  6. 10. Record of the end-Triassic mass extinction in shallow marine carbonates: the Lorüns section (Austria)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Keywords : sedimentology; geochemistry; ooids; oolites; oncoids; oncolites; Triassic; Jurassic; Rhaetian; Hettangian; ocean acidification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) was one of the five big mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic and occurred ~201 Ma ago. Research agrees that the main triggering factor for the ETE was the eruptions of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Volcanic Province (CAMP), linked to the break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea. READ MORE
