1. 1. The potential for Binding PFAS Using Biochar and Phytoremediation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Josefin Alice Maria Svensson; [2021]
   Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem analysis; PFAS; Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances; remediation; phytoremediation; biochar; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : PFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. READ MORE

3. 2. Vulnerable ecosystem services : climate change impacts on sand dominated ecosystems in Skåne, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Anna Mayner Singh; [2018]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; climate change; vulnerability assessment; ecosystem services; Sweden; Skåne; Natura 2000; the County Administrative Board; climate change adaptation; sand; nature conservation; sensitivity; adaptive capacity; workshop; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The two Natura-2000 areas of Ravlunda and Revingehed of Skåne, southern Sweden, have been subject to a climate change vulnerability assessment in this study, which tested an assessment method for relevance for work within the County Administrative Board of Skåne. The analysis was done with focus on ecosystem services found at the sand dominated habitats of the two areas. READ MORE

4. 3. Climate change impact on water balance and export of dissolved organic carbon : a sub-catchment modelling approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Stina Sandgren; [2017]
   Keywords : HYPE; hydrological modelling; DOC; climate change; water balance; specific discharge; hydrology; climate scenarios; carbon cycle; mire catchment; forest catchment; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle in the 21st century with implications for the water balance and water quality. As characteristics of the landscape may vary significantly between nearby locations, hydrological models need to be able to delineate responses attributed to specific landscape characteristics, to estimate their responses to altered climatic drivers.

5. 4. How does urban discharge affect a lake in a recreational area in central Sweden? : a comparison of metals in the sediments of three similar lakes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Madelene Holmblad; [2014]
   Keywords : Geografi; naturgeografi och ekosystemanalys; tungmetaller; smältvatten; sediment; Geography; physical geography and ecosystem science; heavy metals; melt water; sediments; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Metal contamination of lakes can bring negative effects to aquatic biota, and to the general health of the ecosystem. Urban discharge is a known source of common metals. In cold regions, snow disposal sites further enhances the risk of contaminating recipient lakes, due to accumulation of pollutants. READ MORE

6. 5. Impacts of Northern Hemisphere teleconnections on the hydropower production in southern Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Johanna Engström; [2011]
   Keywords : geografi; ekosystemanalys; vattenkraft; klimatvariationer; södra Sverige; geography; ecosystem analysis; hydropower; teleconnection; southern Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 45 % av Sveriges energi produceras av vattenkraft. Forskning har visat att det finns en positiv korrelation mellan den naturlig förekommande klimatvariationen Nord Atlantiska Oscillationen (NAO) och vattenkraftproduktionen i Norge och norra Sverige under vintertid. READ MORE
