  1. 21. Detection of slush on the Greenland Ice Sheet using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Viktor Wu; [2020]
    Keywords : slush; Greenland Ice Sheet GrIS ; surface mass balance SMB ; sea level rise SLR ; satellite imagery; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Sea Level Rise (SLR) is a growing global concern that is heavily influenced by a warming climate. Because of a potentially large added mass to the ocean through ice melt, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays an important role in the contribution to SLR. READ MORE

  3. 22. Declining abundance and shifting distribution for Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, in the western Antarctic Peninsula

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Kerstin Holmström; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. READ MORE

  4. 23. Geothermal function integration in ice rinks with CO2 refrigeration system

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Juris Pomerancevs; [2019]
    Keywords : Ice rinks; CO2 refrigeration system; geothermal energy; heat recovery.; Ishallar; CO2 kylsystem; geoenergi; värmeåtervinning;

    Abstract : Ice rinks are energy intense industrial applications. A typical single sheet ice rink in Sweden uses about 1000 MWh/season. A state-of-the art ice rink systems can use less than 500 MWh/season, indicating the potential for improvements. READ MORE

  5. 24. Arctic Loess as an Environmental Archive : Identifying Weathering with XRF Analysis in West Greenland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Isabelle Karnik; [2019]
    Keywords : loess; XRF; weathering index; Holocene climate; Greenland;

    Abstract : Loess from west Greenland was studied to evaluate Holocene paleoclimate in the Arctic region. Deposits of loess are formed over long time scales through deposition of fine aeolian sediment and they exist in several places in the world. READ MORE

  6. 25. Numerical ice sheet modelling using FEniCS

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : André Löfgren; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increase in computational power in the last 20 years has made it feasible to solve the full Stokes equation for ice flow, using finite element methods (FEM). However, the numerical properties of these equations remains largely unknown. This is due to their nonlinear nature, which makes them hard to analyze mathematically. READ MORE
