1. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc
University essay fromAbstract : Today, emergency preparedness is needed against both nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear weapons fallout. Both scenarios can lead to exposure of ionizing radiation. Upon exposure, radionuclides will incur a radiation dose both internally and externally. READ MORE

3. Odensjön - A new varved lake sediment record from southern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Annually laminated (varved) sediments provide opportunities to reconstruct climate change and human impact on the environment with high temporal resolution. Depending on the character of the varves, such sediments can provide insight into the delivery of both autochthonous and allochthonous material from the lake and its catch- ment and answer questions regarding both regional and local responses to climate- and land-use changes.

4. Dating lake bottom sediment by searching for 210Pb using gamma-ray spectroscopy
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : In a collaboration with limnologists at Uppsala University a planar HPGe detector has been used to find 210Pb in lake bottom sediment in hopes of getting an estimation for the sedimentation rate. Using a least squares fit to the data, the sedimentation rate was calculated to 0.08 ± 0. READ MORE
