1. Study of the Taxonomy of Carnivores from the Eocene-Oligocene of the Quercy Area, France
University essay from Uppsala universitet/PaleobiologiAbstract : The Quercy area of France is an important site for mammal palaeontology, yet 19th century collections of this area, such as the one in the Department of Palaeobiology, Naturhistoriska riksmuseet, remain understudied due to not being well updated taxonomically and correlated stratigraphically. An updated taxonomy was created for the postcranial material of the collections, as well as the dental material originally identified to the amphicyonid genera Amphicyon, Haplocyon and Pseudocyon through study of morphological characteristics and measurements.

2. Multistressors Related to Climate Change and Their Effects on Global Biodiversity during the Cenozoic Age
University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildningAbstract : As multistressors have been shown to have significant effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, the following study was made with the purpose of examining how a number of stressors specifically connected to climate change may have varied during the latest 65,5 million years and whether it is possible to predict potential effects on global biodiversity in the future. The analyses focused on global species richness during the Cenozoic age along with variables such as variations in atmospheric CO2, sea surface temperatures and global sea levels derived from analyses of various stable isotopes found in marine sediments.

3. An Analysis and Interpretation of the Geoscience BC Trek Project Till Geochemical and Mineralogical Data to Determine the Surficial Geochemical Expression of Bedrock Au-Ag-Cu-Mo Mineralization on the Nechako Plateau, British Columbia, Canada.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The mineral exploration in the interior of British Columbia is challenged by an extensive coverage of glacial sediments. The Geoscience British Columbia (GBC) Targeting Resources through Exploration and Knowledge (TREK) Survey has since 2013 collected till samples in the northern interior plateau of British Columbia, covering an area of approximately 25,000km2.

4. Response of Phytoplankton to Climatic Changes during the Eocene-Oligocene Transition at the North Atlantic ODP Site 612
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The development of modern glacial climates occurred during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (34 to 35.5 Ma) when a decrease of atmospheric CO2 led to a global temperature fall. The ocean was deeply affected, both in the surface and the deep-sea, suffering a strong reorganization including currents and phytoplankton distribution. READ MORE

5. Eocene-Oligocene Benthic Foraminifera Stable Isotope Stratigraphy and Paleoceanography of ODP Site 757 and 756, Ninetyeast Ridge, Southern Indian Ocean
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaperAbstract : The EOT is marked by a two-step shift in the δ18O record of benthic foraminifera. The transition was rapid (500 000 years) and occurred roughly 34 million years ago. READ MORE
