3. 2. Effects of stratospheric wildfire smoke on ozone depleting substances and ozone levels in the northern midlatitudes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

   Author : Christopher Grüner; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The goal of this project was to examine whether there are correlations between recent wildfires in the northern hemisphere and stratospheric ozone anomalies in the midlatitudes following the creation of ozone depleting substances. To achieve this goal, data from the Aura satellite's Microwave Limb Sounder instrument was used and processed with self-written Python scripts. READ MORE

4. 3. Integrated Oceans Management of Antarctic Waters: Opportunities for Marine Protected Areas in the Convergence of the Antarctic Legal Regime and the Law of the Sea

5. 4. Methane Sulphonic Acid in East Antarctic Coastal Firn and Ice Cores and Its Relationship with Chlorophyll-a and Sea Ice Extent in the Southern Ocean

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Emma Nilsson; [2022]
   Keywords : methane sulphonic acid; firn cores; sea ice proxy; marine primary productivity; Fimbul Ice Shelf; Dronning Maud Land; metansulfonsyra; firnkärnor; havsis-proxy; marin primärproduktion; Fimbulisen; Dronning Maud Land;

   Abstract : The seasonal retreat of sea ice in the austral spring and summer around Antarctica has a significant effect on phytoplankton activity, mainly due to light availability, meltwater input of dissolved iron, and surface water stratification. Phytoplankton produce dimethylsulfoniopropionate, the precursor to the climate-cooling gas dimethyl sulphide, which is ventilated to the atmosphere and oxidised to methane sulphonic acid (MSA).

6. 5. Ontology and Law: Bioprospecting in Antarctica

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Rakesh Prasad; [2022]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Conceptual Modeling; Ontological Legal Research; Knowledge Artifact; Activity Theory; Deep Text;

   Abstract : Could it be that even though no international treaty or regulation regulates bioprospecting in Antarctica, some features of the techno-science of bioprospecting already lie embedded in the deep texts of the potentially most relevant treaties and regulations? If so, international law already to that extent comprehends the phenomenon, making for sustainable governance and thereby sustainable development. To find out, first an ontology of bioprospecting was synthesized, by an activity theory based conceptual system modeling (CSM). READ MORE
