11. Climate Change and Precipitation Variability Influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/FörbränningsfysikAbstract : Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100.

12. Increased leaching of metals as a result of foundation work
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Heavy metal contamination in the environment is a global issue that is likely to increase in the future. This report investigates a construction area in which increased concentrations of the heavy metals cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc and a decreased pH-value has been observed in the surface water recipient.

13. Aerosol Input and Snow Accumulation Rates on the Northern Greenland Ice Sheet : Reconstructed by means of Continuous Flow Analysis (CFA) of 6 shallow firn cores
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Ice, firn and snow cores from the Greenland ice sheet offer a unique opportunity to reconstruct past climate conditions. These can be analyzed with continuous flow analysis (CFA) in order to acquire proxy information about ancient atmospheric aerosol concentrations, snow accumulation rates or temperature variations, atmospheric composition, solar activity as well as volcanism and biological activity.

14. The spatial variability of salinity and water flux estimates in Gialova Lagoon, Greece
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Lagoons are coastal waterbodies which are sensitive to meteorological and hydrological changes. This study focused on the spatial distribution of salinity in Gialova lagoon, Greece. The area in which the lagoon is located is under pressure from agriculture and truism in the area. READ MORE

15. Drones in Arctic Environments: Snow Change Tracking Aid using Sensor Fusion
University essay from KTH/MekatronikAbstract : The Arctic is subject to rapid climate changes that canbe difficult to track. This thesis aims to provide a user case in which researchers in the Arctic benefit from the incorporation of drones in their snow ablation research. This thesis presents a way to measure ablation stakes with the help of a sensor fusion system mounted on a drone. READ MORE
