  1. 1. Investigating surface spring snow : Changes in the isotopic composition and conductivity along an orographic precipitation gradient in northern Fennoscandia

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Sara Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : stable isotopes; snow; precipitation; hydrology; orography; earth science;

    Abstract : Stable isotopes of oxygen (O18) and hydrogen (H2) are used as proxies of past climates when ice preserved in the polar icecaps. The main assumption when doing paleoclimatic reconstructions using these isotopes is that the isotopic composition of the snow that turned into ice reflect the present temperature of the planet during deposition.

  3. 2. Influence of climate change on Organism Abundance in the Kiruna Region, Northern Sweden: Insights from-long term high-quality DNA sequencing

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anton Sandström; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate change; ecology; microorganisms; DNA-sequencing;

    Abstract : This study investigates if the area around Kiruna, Northern Sweden has experienced large shifts in weather conditions and whether these have affected organism abundances. With a significant increase in global temperature and an increase in average temperature of 1. READ MORE

  4. 3. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc

    University essay from

    Author : Jonathan Sundström; [2022-09-09]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Nuclear power plant; Radiation dose; Effective dose; Lifetime attributable risk; LAR; Fallout; Inhalation; Strontium-90; Iodine-131; Cloudshine;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Temporal Dynamics In Microplastics Within An Indoor Environment: Insights From A Novel Tape-Lifting Method

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Matilda Wiklund; [2022]
    Keywords : Microplastics; tape-lifting; atmospheric fallout; urban environments; Mikroplast;

    Abstract : Microplastics (MPs) constitute a risk to both human and environmental health. It is vital to identify sources and pathways to take the necessary action and limit the number of MPs in our environments. However, we currently have a limited understanding regarding MPs' variation with time in urban environments in an indoor setting. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigating the Fluxes of Radio-Cesium (137Cs) in Sweden : Investigating the Fluxes of Radio-Cesium (137Cs) in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hammad Masood; [2022]
    Keywords : Chernobyl incident; Sweden; radio-cesium; contamination; terrestrial environment; quatic environment;

    Abstract : Technological advancement and the quest for power have gradually contaminated our environment, as industrialization, agriculture, and nuclear activities progressed. In the year 1986, a terrible nuclear incident occurred in Ukraine, in which the nuclear reactor exploded. READ MORE
