  1. 16. Modeling contingency infiltration scenarios in MODFLOW : Stockholm Bypass and tunnel induced groundwater drawdown

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Aslan Abdo; [2019]
    Keywords : tunnel induced groundwater drawdown; MODFLOW; artificial recharge; land subsidence; grundvattenavsänkning; tunnel inläckage; MODFLOW; infiltration; sättning;

    Abstract : Subsurface constructions, such as tunnels, create hydrogeological challenges in mitigating risk of subsidence due to groundwater drawdown. Presenting readily made precautionary mitigation plans, such as strategically planned artificial recharge applications, can help effectivise the mitigation process. READ MORE

  3. 17. Hydrological and hydrogeological consequences of rapid and large-scale urbanization

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

  4. 18. The Formation of Granite Magma Chambers in the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Björkgren; [2017]
    Keywords : granite; magma chamber; Mourne Mountains; space problem; AMS; granit; magmakammare; Mournebergen; space problem; AMS;

    Abstract : The Mourne Mountains situated in County Down, Northern Ireland, mainly consists of solidified granite magma chambers that intruded ~ 56 million years ago into the surrounding greywacke. How granite magma chambers are emplaced in the crust has for years been a debate amongst scientist of volcanology, and is referred to as the ‘space problem’ debate. READ MORE

    Author : Erik Siggelin; [2017]
    Keywords : peatlands; peat; marl; Gotland;

    Abstract : Peatlands in their natural state are in general considered as net sinks of greenhouse gases over time, with the accumulation of dead organic matter as peat. Drained organic soils have been of importance for Swedish agriculture for more than a century. READ MORE

  6. 20. Possibilities to make measurements of ground subsidence more effective, using dInSAR, GNSS and levelling

    University essay from KTH/Geodesi och satellitpositionering

    Author : Evelina Östblom; [2017]
    Keywords : dInSAR; GNSS; levelling; subsidence;

    Abstract : Ground subsidence is today very common. It can occur due to man-made or natural causes. Today, it is most common that subsidence occurs in urban areas, and there the causes are almost exclusively man-made, including groundwater extraction, construction under or above ground. READ MORE
