    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Rebecca Runesson; [2019]
    Keywords : Anisakis; fisk; förekomst; epidemiologi; riskfaktorer;

    Abstract : Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka prevalensen av Anisakis spp. hos fiskar i olika vatten och hav samt vad som kan orsaka dess förekomst. Anisakis spp. är ett globalt spritt släkte av nematoder som i olika stadier i livscykeln infekterar en rad arter av zooplankton, fiskar och valar. READ MORE

  3. 7. Implications of Magma and Bedrock Interaction, a Study of Xenopumice from La Palma, the Canary Islands

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Beatrice Jägerup; [2019]
    Keywords : La Palma; xenopumice; phreatomagmatism; whole rock geochemistry; oxygen isotopes; La Palma; felsiska xenoliter; explosiv vulkanism; geokemi; syreisotoper;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on frothy, felsic xenoliths called ‘xenopumice’, that were retrieved from La Palma during a 10–day field campaign in December 2018. There are only few descriptions of these frothty xenoliths, and a consensus on their origin has not yet been achieved. READ MORE

  4. 8. Submarine Alteration of Seamount Rocks in the Canary Islands: Insights from Mineralogy, Trace Elements, and Stable Isotopes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Aduragbemi Oluwatobi Sofade; [2018]
    Keywords : Canary Islands; seamounts; submarine alteration; trace elements; nannofossils; Kanarieöarna; djuphavsberg; undervattensomvandling; spårämnen; nanofossiler;

    Abstract : Seamounts play an important role in facilitating the exchange of elements between the oceanic lithosphere and the overlying seawater. This water-rock interaction is caused by circulating seawater and controls the chemical exchange in submarine and sub-seafloor rocks. READ MORE

  5. 9. The Origin of the Gran Canarian Xenoliths

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Beatrice Jägerup; [2016]
    Keywords : Gran Canaria; Xenoliths; Oxygen Isotope Value; Thin Section Analysis; EPM;

    Abstract : Xenoliths are pieces from the surrounding bedrock, brought to the surface of the earth by host magma. On Gran Canaria, the largest island in the Canary Islands archipelago, strange xenoliths have been found. They are light in color, porous and very different from the basaltic magma carrying them.

  6. 10. Magma Storage of the Alkaline Tejeda Cone Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Spain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Max Jensen; [2016]
    Keywords : Gran Canaria; Tejeda cone sheet swarm; syenite; magma storage; thermobarometry; clinopyoxene; Gran Canaria; Tejeda inverterade kon-intrusioner; syenit; magma förvar; termobarometri; klinopyroxen;

    Abstract : Volcanoes with alkaline differentiated magma belong to the more explosive and destructive types, but knowledge about these systems is often limited. Unravelling the position and conditions in the source magma chamber systems that feed volcanism at the surface is vital to understand these systems better. READ MORE
